re: Saban: I have underachieved as a head coach, I should have eight national titles

This is all hypothetical because we lost 3 games that year.

But IF our only loss was to South Carolina on Oct 9, 2010, we won out and won the SEC Championship. Alabama would of played for the NC that year and got in over TCU.

Alabama would have beaten 6 ranked team, including the #2 team at the time Auburn, and their only lost would of been to a top 20 team in the regular season.

TCU would have beaten 2 ranked teams.

TCU didn't play in a conference championship game.

Alabama would have played in a conference championship game. And, hypothetical of course, would have played and beat the team they lost to earlier in the year SC.

So a 1 loss SEC Champion, whose only lose was to a top 20 team, and who they beat when they played again. Verses a Mountain West team with 2 wins over ranked teams and no conference championship game.

Once again, If Alabama would have won out after the SC loss, they would of played for the National Championship.

I know this is hard for you to understand after getting left out, and rightfully so, in 04. But that's how it would of happen.
