I can recall 2 but I know there’s more.

1)vs LSU in the 2012 championship game after LSU beat them head to head at their house. Alabama gets the rematch.

2)this year they squeaked by an undefeated Florida state who won their power 5 conference and got left out because their starting quarterback got hurt (lol)

I know I’m missing other ones. Help me out

Bama getting in was like a punch right in the emotions of the corn doggers. I've never seen someone so upset for somebody else. I thought Booger was gonna cry.

“Luck” = preparation + opportunity. Be better.

I don't know, but they've had 13 consecutive years with 11 games or greater wins. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Bama teams that “didn’t deserve it” are currently 3-0







And who could forget

Didn't read any of it because we don't care and never will.

What many of us do care about -- the two or three which got away.

Getting beat in the last few seconds by Deshaun Watson, in 2017, on a pick play.

A stupid kick-6 ... that voodoo is real.

Even last year, when I don't recall a lot of Bama fans complaining, Bama was left out when TCU didn't fall from 3 last year, after losing their Conference Championship to Kansas State. tOSU was moved in... they didn't play in a conference championship. Fortunately, the Bama squad took care of business and eviscerated Kansas State in a bowl game for the world to witness. Were you not entertained?

BTW, I have bigger problems with the 'Top 4' in a case like that. They will finish as the top 4, regardless of the outcome of the bowl games. What I mean is, there is now way for FSU, tOSU or even Missu to brake that barrier.

Don't Care, lets when it happens with 12?

No, those 2 are about the only times.
Like the old saying, to win a championship you gotta have some luck.

One would think that if they weren't good enough to EARN the spot and just lucked in, Bama would be less than 50% in those games. Yet Bama in batting 1000 in those games they "lucked" into.

I see a lot of responses stating Alabama capitalized and won those specific championship games.

That’s not the debate. You’re totally missing the point. Alabama is usually a fricking monster of a team that nobody wants to play. Of course they’re going to capitalize when they get the chance.

My point is, who else besides Alabama gets treated the way they do? They get the nod to replay those games they shouldn’t because they are Alabama. I’m sure there are other teams that could capitalize if given the same chance.

But once again, because they are named Alabama, they get the automatic nod. Entitled. Little. Brats.

I’m out.

Yes yes. Imagine knowing your bitterest foe is using luck.

Then you'll never think there's any point to it all, and you'll... just quit.

Yes, Alabama. All luck, I tell ya!

2012 doesn’t count, refs gave the game of the century away to LSU. Getting in was just correcting a grave injustice.

Lucky to get in this year for sure.

This is the big one if you're trying to look at "luck". Took a plane falling out of the sky to get Bama back in it.

Not sure why you are laughing at their quarterback getting hurt but it was also because they played a weak schedule where LSU was their best win. I like to think Ole Miss had a hand in this by further weakening an already weak LSU.

Yeah Bama did:

A) Not make it in with two losses.

B) Was good enough each time to have one loss at the most which doesn’t sound like luck to me, it sounds like a damned good team each year they made it in and most times they win the title as well.
