To be fair, with the way we game planned and executed, I'm not so sure that we would decidedly beat a lot of the ranked teams by just showing up. If we had the same lackadaisical approach to preparing as we did yesterday, I can think of several teams that could have done the same thing to us. Baylor, Clemson, even UCF are not given wins when we feel like we can just show up and win. There have been rumors surrounding the attitude of the players leading up to the game.

On the other hand, if we were 100% focused in our game plan and execution we could compete with any team in the country.

I agree with all of those except for Missouri. Unless the SEC Championship was an anomaly, they are ridiculously overrated.

The way I see it is we lost a few, it happens. Of course I grew up a Cubs fan so I have VERY THICK SKIN.

That'll hold true for Alabama most years, but in 2009-2012, that would be a multiple touchdown win over everyone else in this country. This year, Alabama firing on all cylinders wouldn't blow out everybody else.

Does Alabama have a dominant running game that imposes their will on everyone? No.
Alabama wouldn't run all over Missouri, and I'd be concerned about turnovers versus them too.
