re: Alabama is the best team in the nation

How often do you win a game when your D gives up 296 yards rushing in the SEC. Not often... Auburn did their part too. In a game like that, it comes down to who makes the best plays in crunch time. Auburn did and won.




How often do you win a game when you get outgained by 100 yards. Not often but this time, yes. The barn escaped again on a magic carpet to Pasadena. Enjoy the trip.

There's some truth there, but Bama beat LSU last year when LSU outgained them by 100+ total yards. LSU beat West Virginia in 2011 by 26 after WV outgained LSU by 160+ yards. That happens more in the SEC than a team giving up 290+ rushing and winning the game.
