re: Has Spurrier at South Carolina surpassed what Bryant did at UK?

A regular season win against a team that eventually would finish the regular season outside of the Top 15 versus a win over a team that won the national championship and finished the regular season undefeated.

Hmm.....

Yes, because I just got through stating it: Oklahoma had nothing left to play for, other than a bowl win. They ALREADY had their NC in hand when the ball was kicked off versus UK. The outcome of the bowl either way would change nothing...

Alabama would fall apart as the 2010 season went on, yes. They still won 10 games which wasn't chopped liver. BUT AT THE TIME of the game with South Carolina, they were ranked #1 unanimously, and driving for another national championship. They hadn't given up at that point....they had beaten the previous 19 opponents they played up to that point, including one for the 2009 NC.

I say the importance for both games were decidedly different for Oklahoma and Alabama...
