TouchdownAlabama

lol, I just got the student ticket email announcement about it. Hey, I just want to win and go 10-3 and keep up the 10-win season streak…gotta find some positives.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed, but any coach in comparison to Saban is gonna feel like a disappointment at first. I try to give a little grace. Even Saban had his moments where fans would get aggravated with how he did things, but I keep coming back to the fact that even in sucky circumstances Saban was good with keeping the team focused in the regular season. We never would have seen any of his talented teams encounter the Vandy and OU scenarios. I just hope those scenarios don’t repeat themselves. I learned to forgive the Vandy loss but the OU one felt very unacceptable. We were on a win streak and had a clear path to the playoffs and then choked and that’s just so unacceptable.

It’s more than a QB. Some of it was awful playcalling. And then just blatant inconsistencies.

Clemson & SMU will both get embarrassed, but it’s whatever. I would rather Bama confidently be legitimately a top 4 team than a straggler that would also wind up with an embarrassing performance in the playoffs.

Out, cause you get less spot consideration and people advocating for you the lower you are in the new playoff rankings and we could have easily cemented our playoff presence by taking care of business in the regular season.

Obviously in the minority, but I don’t really care what any former player thinks or says, or expect them to constantly be biased towards Bama. I remember Ohio State fans got so mad at Kirk Herbstreit for the same reasons (but their fans were even worse) to the point the dude had to move his whole family to Nashville. Lmao

Slightly off topic, but why is Notre Dame still allowed to participate and still aren’t part of a damn conference? If we are gonna have these oddly specific rules about conference championship winners then why aren’t they forced into one? Literally still being privileged because of their team history and legacy.

Yeah, that game really was the worse case scenario for us. But hey, it’s not like we deserved it. I would rather get in on our own merits than depend on other teams, but it was still fun to hope for a bit.

Don’t put this evil on me, man, it’s too real! :lol:

Hell, nobody outside the top 4 (top 6, tops) deserves a shot at the title or to be in the playoffs to compete for one. A 12-team playoff is trash.

I am super curious to see how it plays out, imagine if none of the top 4 or 6 actually end up winning it all.
