It was the same situation as the Utah game. It's hard for a team to get motivated for a silly bowl when your main goal was Championship or bust. Especially when Bowl games don't really mean much to a program that has as much history as Bama does.

In the Capital One Bowl, after the 2010 season, we didn't have a problem gettin' motivated for Michigan State...and after the SEC comments made by Stoops all season, we shouldn't have had a problem gettin' up for OU either...

And while we have a storied history, from Bear's last season through Saban's 2nd year, except for a brief respite under Stallings, "silly" bowl games were the norm and not the exception...
