re: nick saban's quote on college football playoffs

That was a 3 point game with 3 minutes left. Be humble.

It was a skull dragging, that at times appeared to be closer than it actually was. The #1 rush defense in the country gave up 100+ yards to two different RBs, and 4 rushing TDs. We put it on cruise control and let our defense suck the will to win out of them. We attempted 12 passes the entire game, and one of those was a fake punt on our first offensive series.

Yeh Bama was in if it was 4 teams

Found the story. Not sure how much stock I'd put into it because it was done with hindsight that Bama lost to Utah and it's mostly media members but I don't think it was a lock that Bama would've gotten in if there was a playoff that year. Would've been a different dynamic among the voters.

Please try and tell me you deserved it more regardless of when the loss occured

Actually Bama beat #13 UGA and #14 Ole Miss that year with the only loss coming to the eventual national champs, #1 Florida. Oklahoma beat a few overrated big 12 teams and lost to UT. Eh, maybe Bama gets in, maybe they don't. What can't be argued is that both the BCS and Playoff committee seem to favor Bama when it's a close call with another team. That's the perk of being one of the best programs in CFB history and having the GOAT as your head coach.

I do know that Tebow was quoted on the record after playing both Bama and OU as saying that had Bama won the SECCG, they would have rolled OU. He was probably right. And had the playoff system been around, that Bama team is in without question at 12-1 with only one loss to #2 UF. Point in all of that, is that Bama has had a late season loss that knocked them out of the national title picture. So Saban has reason to say what he did, even if it has only affected him once in 11 seasons at Bama.

They also rarely play good (not preseason overrated) teams and beat them during the season. They rarely play the best teams in the East and most times Auburn is the only good team they play. The SEC is not a given that the teams are good every year. Not playing anyone should be considered worse than losing to someone good. Otherwise teams like UFC should have gotten in over Bama.

Some people literally just make stuff up and post it as fact as if everyone will just believe their garbage. You can check the SOS numbers yourself. Bama consistently has very strong SOS numbers compared to other elite power 5 programs. Pretty much every year. Try harder.

Edit--I did your homework for you. According to the NCAA, Alabama's SOS the past 5 years are as follows: #6, #1, #1, #2, #7. You're welcome.

Not from regular season and where they are ranked at the end of the year. Playing a preseason top 10 team that ends up unranked isn't playing a good team.

this pathetic loser is a pathological liar. I've called him on another active thread and challenged him to respond, but the chickenshit ran off and hid...guys a gutless turd.

And your a dumbass Bama fan that thinks because you run around bumping threads that it changes the world's view of Saban being a crybaby. And just because people say things you don't like doesn't make them pathological liars. No matter what the Bama board teaches yall.

Nope. You fixed it to what your fanbase wants to hear. Everyone else hears Saban crying every year for new rules or double talking.

I have heard fans from every fan base on here admit that Saban is the goat, including Auburn. Just because you are having a major crisis in "lil bro" syndrome, does not mean everybody else is.

Bama played the #10, #18, and #19 teams in the regular season and went 2-1. Hardly a tough schedule. Half of the conference played the same teams. But keep convincing yourself Bama plays a hard schedule.

You do realize the post-season counts as part of a team's schedule, right? Bama blew out #1 and beat #3. Finished with the 6th toughest schedule in the nation. That's not my opinion, you can find it on the NCAA website. Had the #1 SOS in 2016 and 2015. You're a moron.
