Not asking about 1/9, which Bama was clearly the best. Not asking about 11/5, when Bama's 4 missed FGs cost them victory.
I'm asking if you honestly think Bama was not the best team in the country in 2011.
So, last year LSU attempts 5 FG from 60 yards out against the wind and misses each, does it mean this is the reason why Alabama won the game?
LSU was the better team in 2011. Alabama won the game in 2012.

not even comparable situations. In 2011 LSU made 3 FGs to beat Bama. One was when they had a drive begin at the Bama 15 yard line. You gained 2 yards and kicked a FG. You had another FG where your drive began at the 25 in OT.
In the first qtr Bama had three drives - for 127 yards - all into FG range and came away with 3 missed FGs. LSU had 2 drives for a total of 33 yards. The missed FGs were not "60 yards out against the wind". The FGs were long, yes, but could be made (foster made a kick in that very game longer than one of the misses).
LSU had a great team in 2011. That team was likely a top 10 all-time BCS era team. That said, 1/9 proved without question they weren't the best team that year.
