Two can play at that game…Alabama wins the natty in these years if…

2008: Florida doesn’t lose to Ole Miss and comes into the SECCG unmotivated.

2013: Just one field goal is made out of four misses in the Iron Bowl.

2014: Ezekiel Elliot is tackled at some point in the Sugar Bowl.

2016: Officials call that illegal pick against Clemson in the end zone.

2018: Tua doesn’t throw a pick six in the first quarter of the national championship.

2019: Joe Burrow stays at Ohio State.

2021: Ohio State makes a field goal as the new year begins.

2022: The official doesn’t throw a ridiculous flag for pass interference in the Tennessee game.

2023: Milroe doesn’t run right into the teeth of the Michigan defensive line in OT of the Rose Bowl

Part of being a good football player is not being a fricking p*ssy and leaving the championship game in the first place.

Wait, you're saying that if certain big plays didn't happen that games might have turned out differently? Wow, that changes everything.

Was Colt going to play defense and stop Ingram and Richardson?
They both ran for over 100.

Now do Wallace Wade and Bryant. Alabama has more Rose Bowl appearances than Indiana.

Here's the crazy part. Bama was literally 4 or 5 plays away from 3 more championships.

Also: Indiana would beat Georgia by 3 scores.


Lol, so Penn State and Iowa are better than Georgia?
Alabama destroyed Wisconsin, a team Indiana was in a dogfight with until the 3rd Quarter.
Indiana has played nobody outside of Ohio State and Oregon who themselves have played no one. They are the equivalent of Vandy.
Bama rolls 38-21. Brown with a pick 6.

The luckiest thing to happen to Alabama is Wallace Wade over 100 years ago. From that moment on we made our iwn luck. Bear come to Bama because Wallace Wade won the Rose bowl 100 years ago. No way Saban doesn't go to T-town if Bear hadn't done what he did.

Every coach has luck....but great coaches have their team in a position to capiltize on it...

Every sport you can do this with..

Imagine Clemson getting penalized for offensive PI at the end in 2016 and Alabama winning.

Imagine Griffith making the FG against Auburn in 2013 and Bama going on to win the national championship.

Imagine Alabama holding that 4th quarter lead against Florida in the SECCG in 2008 and then beating Ohio State.

Imagine Kiffin continuing to feed Derrick Henry against Ohio State in 2014 when they were up 21-10 and Bama going on to win.

Seems to me that everyone else is lucky that Saban didn't win 10 national championships. He very easily could have. Either of my scenarios could have played out just as easily as yours.

We had a backup QB that could come in and win a national championship game in 2017. Why didn't you in 2009?
