re: Alabama has faced one decent defense this year: Florida State

6 in a row, 8 of 10. Since the annual series began in '64 Bama has won 69%, so now it's back to normal. 8 of 10 is almost historically normal. The overall series % of 66 in favor of Bama isn't much different. LSU's 7-3 success over the sanctioned ravaged program of the 0s is the aberrant period. Those 7 are 28% of your 25 wins in the 81 game series. You've won 18 and tied 5 of the other 71 games.
