Yeah, but this is the problem with this whole stats argument. Alabama isn’t the same team as it was when it played Texas. That’s not to say they’ll beat Georgia, but they’ve improved significantly since the Texas game so it’s difficult to look at that game now as a direct indicator of how they would do against Georgia.

While true, the post I was referring to was talking about how Bama has played top offenses and top defenses.

The point I made is they haven't played a top offense who ALSO has a top defense, and the closest team they came to facing with that gave them a loss.

Stats are just stats, but there is a difference in facing a great offense with a bad defense or a great defense with a "meh" offense, and facing a team who is top 10 on both sides of the ball.

Bama hasn't faced that yet this year. Can they win against that? Sure. But the examples given don't really support that they will. The closest example they had resulted in a Bama loss.
