It doesn't matter how good every championship Bama squad has been in the last 20 ish years - they've always had sluggish or close games.

'92 team only beat an unranked So. Miss by 1 TD (17-10). An unranked La Tech by a TD and two field goals (13-0). They also almost let MS state come back and win the game (30-21). I believe it was a blocked MSU field goal that finally put the game away.

'09 squad almost lost to unranked TN (12-10) and also had to come from behind to beat an unranked Auburn (26-21)

'11 squad lost to LSU in overtime and didn't get to play in the SECCG.

'12 squad lost to TAM.

This year really isn't any different so far. They had a sluggish game against an inferior Co state and overall have had some flashes of vulnerabilities (TAM) mixed with some flashes of greatness.

It's nothing new, really - but I wouldn't say that the media is sleeping on them.

I think that's more of a commonality among all championship teams more than just Bama championship teams.

Just the way it is. Not many teams go out and dominate every opponent start to finish for the whole season.
