WTF? Have you lost your mind? I still consider them the favorite to win it all!! They will get their shite in order because they still have better football players than everyone and Saban will fix the problems! What coach on earth would you rather have than that man to do a little tweaking to the offense and make adjustments on defense! Sabans about developing his coaches and dare I say that was a huge win for Sark who by the way was brilliant for that 20 team that saban got to put a ring on his finger for!! Just sayin man!

It helps the NCAA played favorites in the past and punished some programs with harsher penalties that have committed less crimes than other programs that only get a slap on the wrist.

Now with NIL and the NCAA being completely powerless, programs don't care anymore and are doing what is necessary to win at all costs.

The Saban dynasty drove college football to NIL as college football fans were tired of Bama having all the advantages and getting away with it.

It was a necessary evil to bring some balance to the sport.

Ironic coming from a bama fan. You were passing out chargers PRE NIL. If anything you started the trend.

By giving players more freedom to go where they want.

You mean like when Saban advocated for the 10 second defensive sub because he was having trouble with hurry up offenses?

He wasn’t that horrible in the nfl. If they signed Brees instead of culpepper who knows

Talent isn't their issue. Saban can't develop for shite.


He seems to be nothing more than a figurehead for recruiting now and nothing like the coach he was for most of the last 15 years. Last year the team was still good but very sloppy at times and tonight they just got bullied.

The transfer portal may be the nail in the coffin.

But the MSB told me the portal ruined parity in CFB and the same 3 teams would be competing for the title every year

Saban's age has caught up too. I wanna see how Bama goes about this one.

Nil definitely didn't do them any favors as well. UGA is on top for the time being.

NIL and the portal are most certainly your problem. This is where Saban was able to beat everyone else for so long. He was able to back up his 5* starters with more 5* players. That isnt the case anymore. They can transfer and be starters at other schools.

You dont have to admit it or like it, but this has most certainly negated Saban's advantage.

Bammers weren’t playing by the rules. Never have, since since cheating arse Paul Bryant. Didn’t he schedule an extra cupcake game every year so his teams would always play an extra game and have an extra win compared to the rest of the SEC. .??

Melt. I'm sorry everybody else gets to pay players now. That must suck for you.
