The Bama fans on this website think their Crimson Tide will win virtually every SEC West crown for the next 5 years and play in the BCS Playoff virtually every year because they have won 3 out of the last 4 BCS Championships. Pure Gump Logic.

Now that you established the starters, who will be the backups in those two games?

Will the backups be the same guys that started in the other game?

No matter how you start them bama will be playing the same 10-12 guys a game in the front seven nomatter who the opponent is.

He won or shared the conference championship?

I am figuring out bama math. You guys round every thing up to the next whole number. No wonder y'all got to 14, 15, 16? How many NC is it this week?


Also didn't know the Mid-American Conference > Big 10.

Why are you not looking at all match ups between the two teams? Are you arbitrarily choosing which games go into your data set even if you don't have a reason to exclude a certain game which may make your point not nearly as strong?

Coach Bryant didn't rise from the dead did he?

Gawd I hope not, Chollie Mac beat him only twice in 16 tries.

The expectations are high but you cant deny the fact that Bama will be in contention every year.

Oh whatever. You know exactly what I meant.

The guy wants to exclude 1/9 because it hurts his point and there really is no reason to exclude it. Since he clearly wanted to go from 2007 on, he should include that game.

Side note: how did this end up being an Alabama/LSU thread?

That's the trick. If you're in the race, you got that chance.

It was about the HUNH and then went to the Alabama-A&Mgame which was at least related and now is a pissing match between Alabama and LSU where facts are irrelevant and both sides KNOW they are right. :smh:

When Bama loses their 5th year starting QB next year, they will be back in the pack with most perennial football powers in college: USC, Ohio St., Michigan, LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, N.D., plus some up and coming programs like TAM, Georgia, Florida St., and UCLA.

Not even Miami or Nebraska in their golden era were as dominate as the Gump Nation's expectations are right now.

With LSU and TAM in the West, Bama will be hard pressed to win over a third of the titles in the SEC West much less a third of the SEC's championships.

And if Bama fans think they are going to the BCS Playoffs without winning the SEC, they are really delusional.

You guys really love to throw around the word delusional, but how delusional can you really be with the success we are currently having? Cocky and smug sure, but I'm not sure about delusional. Five years ago, that may have been true but not today.

I think every Alabama fan knows we are going to take a step back after AJ leaves. We certainly dont expect to win every year, but we do expect to be in contention. That is completely reasonable based on what Saban has shown he can consistently put on the field.

Everyone is well aware of LSU, but I think most people want A&M to show any signs of sustained success before they put them in the category of perennial contenders.

Wasn't part of the reason everyone from the SEC was excited about the playoff was because we would likely get more than one team in? Wasn't that why we were so adamant on it being top four rather than conference champions?

Your unreal success is the very reason why your fans are so delusional. That type of success can't be sustained with all the other programs of comparable talent in the nation including the SEC.

Programs like USC, N.D., Ohio St., Florida, and Michigan, who have all been absent at some time during the past four years are coming back strong. Not to mention LSU and TAM, who are right in Bama's own division.

If Bama fans think LSU and TAM are not going to match Bama in talent and coaching ability for a long time, you are very much mistaken, if not delusional.

Sure TAM has never been a perennial football power, but they are now the only SEC team from Texas. UT is way down due to poor coaching, and there is little sign that will change anytime soon. TAM has a great young H.C., and with the Heisman winner, they are perfectly positioned to become a perennial recruiting power for a long time.

Does everyone think A&M is just the last 10 years. In the 80s and 90s A&M was a perennial power. Large fan base, unlimited resources, and a great recruiting base. A&M has everything necessary to be a perennial power.

USC is just starting to feel the effects of the scholarship limitations. That will last at least 3 more years.

Notre Dame hasn't been nationally relevant since 1993.

Florida doesn't even belong in the same sentence since they have won as many BCS Titles as Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame, and Michigan combined.

Has Michigan won a BCS bowl yet against a non-ACC school?

Ohio State is the only one that can even remotely be considered a threat to SEC dominance.

That really isn't relevant.

I just think it is unfair to call A&M a team that will challenge for SEC and National title every year after a single year. They did take quite a few people by surprise and were in a bunch of really close games, so I want to see if they can duplicate last year.

I'm not giving any prediction on whether it will happen because no one knows.

Of course no one knows the future, Saban could retire tommorrow, but that is not likely. TAM could be found cheating and be put on NCAA sanctions that would kill its recuiting program, but that is not likely to happen.

Championship teams can be built around great college QBs, just ask Florida with Tebow, Auburn with Cam Newton, Saban with AJ McCarron, and now TAM with Manziel. And when they leave, the championships can leave just as fast.
