re: Analyzing Bama's last four NCs

Bama's 2012 NC was sort of gift wrapped. If not for some archaic NCAA rules that most players/teams avoid by just not cooperating, tOSU would have been in the title game with ND, not Bama.

If Ole Piss doesn't pull one of the most incredibly stupid defensive gaffs in the history of SEC football..Bama doesn't play for the title last year.

of course..on the flipside...without the equally incredible stupid decision to kick an unmakable FG vs. Auburn..Bama, not Auburn would have probably won the 2011 championship.

The LSU-Bama rematch should not have happened. One of the hugest mistakes of the BCS era. You lose..sorry. The 2006 tOSU-Mich game proved that. What if Mich gets the rematch and beats tOSU? No way in hell Mich was best team..Fla and USC proved that. Rematches ALWAYS favor the team who lost the 1st game.

counting McCoy going down in the NC game tho...Bama has had their share of breaks that had nothing to do with them...sometimes that's how it goes..but to their credit..they were in the right place to capitalize. They have been as opportunistic as they have been good.
