During November, Alabama has not defeated an opponent that finished ranked in the Top 10 in the BCS era.You must venture back to 1999 for the last time Alabama beat a team in November that finished the season ranked. That 1999 win came against 10-2 Mississippi State, a team that scraped by several unranked opponents and did not beat a ranked team.
Please don't tell me you're complaining about Nick Saban. Alabama has won 3 national titles in the last 4 seasons. Holy crap!

I simply asked for people's perspectives.
I realize that those losses came against good teams.
No one has offered an explanation as to why these losses have occurred in November.
Is it because Alabama's two toughest opponents as of late have regularly been scheduled in November?
I know who Alabama has beaten for their 13th and 14th games the previous 4 seasons. Again, what does that have to do with November? The record is starting to show a trend and doesn't look coincidental. Alabama has faced good, sometimes great teams in the other months to greater avail.
What is it about November that has lead to this record? Why has Alabama defeated teams that finished ranked in the Top 10 in every month but November?
