Even with the 2 week mark, his math is wrong


64.28% with 2 or less weeks, not 79%, and 9 games not 10

Who was hurt ? Anyone on Offense or are you going to use the FSU excuse about the other side of the ball ?

What is Saban's record when he has 2 weeks (after open game) or more to prep ?


Probably similar to his record when he has less than 2 weeks to prepare

You fans provided the research. I was just commenting on what was provided.

Neither the math nor the numbers were mine, I was simply responding to the post that said 11 of 14 losses. 11/14 = 78.57%

Based what was provided he was 27-3 with two weeks or more to prepare. Since most of those games where considered important games against good opponents (opening week classics, after open week, Bowl Games), it would validate my claims.

I have no idea if that 27-3 (.900) record is legit or not, but the first link I came across looking for Saban's record at Alabama has his overall record as 132-20 (.868). His overall winning percentage is almost exactly equal to the games you are harping on.

I think this is a good move for Bama and the conference.

Neutral sites are fine. But after so many years, it seems like they are afraid of hostile environments early in the year.

That is why stats are misleading. Saban has chosen to play in the kickoff classics every year. This is usually against a top 20 team. Then they usually schedule an off week before a big game. Then throw in the fact that their Bowl opponent is usually a top 20 team. So that .868 looks close on the surface to the .900 after a two week prep, but the competition is skewed.

Notre Dame is looking at the long-term, big picture with their scheduling.

At the end of the day, they know where the talent truly resides.

"You fricking idiot...the end PROVED the means were correct!
This shite about Saban taking ANY team and winning a national championship is a total load of crap, and anybody that reads your posts and doesn't bleed Auburn, knows what a biased fool you are. Take that shite to the Auburn board where folks will lap it up...they won't here. "


Maybe you'll take my advice next time! People around here aren't buying your bullshite...go preach it to your fellow APIers...they'll eat it up.

WTF are you babbling about? We have a decades worth of data on Saban's record. No one else has stepped to play more OOC quality opponents than Bama. Furthermore, when Bama gets to bowls, BCS, or playoffs they have dominated. They have beat solidly all comers all the time.

Nobody has said otherwise. I pointed out that Saban has a .900 record in those games. My point is he always has adequate planning time to play those games, which is why he is so successful. Again, look at his loses, he didn't lose it because of inferior talent.

You really have no point.

Saban does take losses but it isn't because of some planning timeline that favors him. In fact, you should really study up on how Saban and Bama game plan for the season. He takes them for other reasons as they are pretty much the same reasons why all coaches lose games. Saban is just better than everyone else at mitigating those factors. Some times you just get your arse beat and out played by a team who is hot.
