Kirby and Nick getting done. Wonder if any two coaches nationally...much less two coaches in the same conference have had concurrent 8 season runs as impressive or as dead even as Saban and Smart have going right now.

Here are Georgia and Alabama's records since the start of the 2017 season:

Georgia: 85-10 record with 2 SEC titles and 2 national titles

Alabama: 86-9 record with 3 SEC titles and 2 national titles

Both coaches will end up with identical 86-10 records and an identical number of SEC and national titles if Georgia wins Saturday. Georgia will obviously be favored to break the national title tie in the playoff.

That 2020 Alabama team finished the season as the greatest scoring offense statistically in SEC history averaging 48.5 ppg, just ahead of the 2019 LSU offense that averaged 48.4 ppg. Against a regular season schedule made up exclusively of SEC opponents including Top 8 opponents Georgia and Florida along with #4 Notre Dame and #2 Ohio State in the playoffs.

Not bad for a fake team during a fake football season

You guys.

Excuses don't matter unless Bama makes them.

Injuries matter unless they're against Bama.

All calls in favor of Bama unless they're not.

The stats have been run on Bama games in 2020 and played the healthiest teams of the season. Still, they dominated.

The butt hurt is real.

Best season ever. The no fans makes the argument even stronger. Essentially more games, vs top competition, with no traditional home field advantage.

Playing in front of empty stadiums makes the games more fair tbh. There’s no noise factor to tilt momentum.

Played zero cupcakes(not counting LSU that year). 11 straight SEC games. Won against every major SEC program. Beat Notre Dame and Ohio State to cap it all off…

It honestly might be the purest title run of all time.

Every conf came together and agreed to play the game that year. Alabama under those guidelines won the championship. It counts.

You had him when you hit your arse waxed at home against LSU. That was your chance to make a statement that year and Bama blew it in front of the home crowd. Get fricked.

while your counting fake national titles, don't forget to
throw in the fake title from 2007, where some bullshite took place to give a team with 2 losses a national title. But hey, you took it and ran. think a 2 loss team could win it this year?

I know we didn’t get to play the likes of UT Martin, Ball St or even TCU that season but it was still pretty impressive.

Did the pups not have all of their players in T town? Is that why it was such a beatdown? My memory is a little fuzzy on it…

Didn’t say it wasn’t impressive. In a year where tons of players all across the country didn’t participate for entire seasons and many more for part of the season, where games were cancelled and schools went mostly virtual…Alabama was the best. But it was an unusual season, to the point the NCAA decided it didn’t count toward a players eligibility. As if it never occurred. The impact of that is still seen in college football in 2023. Bo Nix is a prime example. Damn near 5 complete seasons of starts at this point.

The biggest problem with 2020 was for teams who were replacing coordinators and teams who were replacing QBs.

They had to implement a new defense/offense on zoom calls.

Think about that.
And then think about the advantage for every team that already had their coordinators/playbook/scheme/QB in place.

So Alabama was the only team in 2020 that had significant advantages over everyone else? That seems to be the narrative.

So sad we lost Tua twice in 2019. Otherwise we'd have 3 national titles. Especially seeing as how he had a sluggish start against the GOAT team due to missing a month of action yet came within four of beating them (and still outshined Burrow - despite shitting the bed in the first quarter and a half).


Spoken like a true A*la*ba*ma* fan.

Burrow destroyed Bama to the point where it was never in doubt and the last title you’ll ever get is a fake one from 2020 against a team who won 7 games.
