Easily the 9-6 game. Bama was easily 21 points better than that LSU team.

Saban's achilles heel is personnel decisions. You can put the 2017 iron bowl on him not starting Tua, you can put the kick six on him running the ball with an injured Yeldon over a healthy Derrick Henry (at one point all we needed was a yard to win the game. Guess who didn't get it?)
The same shite almost cost us the Georgia game, but he buckled and played the better QB just in time.
Saban doesn't like telling starters they've lost their job. He's a softy when it comes to that

There really is a lot of truth that Bama almost NEVER gets beat since 2008. 90% of those losses were just shite the bed games. I can only think of a handful of games where we just got beat by a better team: Florida 2008 Auburn 2010 Auburn 2013 Ohio State 2014

You left off Auburn 2017 for some reason.

Auburn was clearly the superior team who, per usual, played a much more difficult schedule and had much less depth (thanks REC).

Top to bottom, our Top 22 were just flat out better than yours.

I don't concede Auburn 2013 as the better team. We had a great team that year, came out insanely flat on the road vs. Auburn, and lost in a series of fluke instances of the ball bouncing the wrong way. Even despite the bad juju, we had many more chances to win the game than Auburn, we just managed to blow it every time.
I believe we would've also beaten FSU

bullshite. Your QB was worlds better than ours. Our other 21 were better, and we had a better QB than Stidham sitting on the bench.

I think people often overlook the importance of QB play. It's nearly impossible to beat a team with a much better QB

No, we pretty much dominated both lines of scrimmage, did whatever we wanted offensively, and made a couple of unforced errors that kept it from being even worse than it was.

The Iron Bowl was not competitive. Auburn was just better at basically every position but was asked to face a far more difficult schedule. Pretty much the same as it’s always been in history.

I can see why you would think that and there is a lot of truth to it. But dont forget that we also missed on two very easy TD's by bad passes and you did get a 99 yard TD on 3rd and long that was also somewhat of a fluke.

That game was about as even as possible. And we did not really play our best game. The 2013 Auburn offense was almost unstoppable. Though we had a few hiccups it was very dominate

And we should have beaten FSU as well

Only if you're an arse kissing, Gump

Superior talent has won a ton of his games. Cochran has a lot of skins in Saban's success.

Not to mention a few gift mulligan NC's

And you played an entire schedule before the playoffs of 2 opponents with a pulse.

You were sodomized by the one you didn’t get at home. And Bama’s reward for going .500 against the two decent teams you faced? The classic “Bama Bye” to championship season, while others were forced to play extra games. Same as it’s always been.

Like, you were literally rape whistled. Auburn was significantly better than Alabama last year and the score should’ve been worse than it was.

Bama goes 9-3 with Barn’s schedule last year. With the best roster money can buy.

Pretty much same as it’s always been, with the exception of one or two outlier seasons here and there.

Remove Clemson and replace Georgia with Tennessee on Barn’s annual regular season schedule and suddenly Malzahn looks like Saban.
