Kind of "hard" to shell out hard earned money on a team "expected" to lose. Fan expectation is what puts people in the seats of a 100,000 seat stadium. And when stadiums are "full" of fans expecting their team to win, you don't think players "feed" of of that?

I think you're misunderstanding my point.

Obviously a stadium full of fans give the team "energy," obviously a team expected to lose isn't going to constantly sell out.

My point is that the high expectations of Alabama fans specifically isn't one of the things that causes Alabama to be better than everyone else.

Each fanbase of each elite college football programs has high expectations, LSU fans are constantly ridiculed on this site because they expect to win a title every year, doesn't mean they do.
