I don't know. I think Florida State's run from 1990-2000 (11 years) may be more impressive if you consider the timing.

They're different kinds of impressive. The FSU years are from 1987 to 2000. It's an extremely impressive resume for that time period. We frequently had one loss seasons where the only loss came against the National Champion. Most of the losses during those years came to teams who finished in the top 5.

That said... we only produced two championships during those years. On some level, it feels like we were good like the Buffalo Bills from 1990-1993. Great year in, year out performances, but just missing (frequently wide right) winning it all.

I think, as of now, the FSU streak is the most impressive "long" dynasty; however, Alabama's is much more impressive in terms of performance over a shorter period of time. It's also ongoing.

I also think that in terms of the CFB environment, what Alabama has accomplished is perhaps the most impressive thing in CFB history. Recruiting has changed so much and teams that were never on the radar for recruits are now.

I believe the fair catch is actually irrelevant to the call. The kicking team is not allowed to interfere with receiving team making a catch on the kick.

On Clemson's kick, not only did the South Carolina player call for a fair catch, the Clemson player went through him to catch the onside kick.

A well coached special teams is always going to call for a fair catch. It kills the play upon the player making the catch. If he doesn't call for fair catch, he's probably going to be leveled and risk a fumble.

An FSU fan is re-watching the game and taking notes?

Yes, I've been an FSU fan since I was around three and thought they had great uniforms and an awesome mascot.

I love college football (disillusioned with the NFL over the past several years) and that means the SEC. It's been hands down the best conference for football for the past two decades. I rewatch a lot of games and they're usually SEC games. They're just better games to watch.

I don't really like the ACC, and I absolutely hate the Big 10, Pac 10, and the recent Big 12 (frick Texas). I always want the latter three to be embarrassed and humiliated... They're arrogant and live on past achievements. I'm also from Mississippi and look down on regions that lack sweet tea that is 25% sugar by weight. The ACC is rarely up for the task of dominating those conferences, so it's another reason to pull for the SEC.

This post is terrible.

Did you even watch the Ole Miss and Alabama play?

Before anyone says "But 5 turnovers", please take a step back and realize that 5 turnovers were not the only problem. The Rebels put up 43 points and averaged an astounding 6.7 yards per play against Alabama's defense. Turnovers had nothing to do with that 6.7 yards per play. I imagine its extremely rare for any team to win a game when they give up 6.7 yards every play. Alabama found that out the hard way.

---

When you lose a game by 6 points and are minus 5 in turnovers, that's really the only problem that requires any substantive discussion. This is, of course, especially true four of the turnovers gave Ole Miss starting field position inside field goal range. That is literally the entirety of why Alabama lost.

24 of Ole Miss's points came off of four scoring drives totaling 77 yards...

77 yards for 24 points...

They had two huge plays for 66 and 73 yards (one of which proved that god is real and hates Alabama) which resulted in 13 points (missed 2pt conversion on one).

This is being built to beat Alabama? Getting spotted 24 points and hitting two 60+ yard TD passes?

Is this a joke?

33% of Ole Miss's offense came from two plays. 60% of their offense came from 6 plays. 70% of their offense came from 9 plays. Excluding these plays, Ole Miss averaged 4.67 yards/play, 3.18 yards/play, 2.4 yards/play respectively. This is not a blueprint for beating anyone.

Ole Miss ran 65 offensive plays including two irrelevant plays (end of the first half and end of the game). Alabama ran 101 offensive plays. They ran an offensive play every 21 seconds of time of possession. Ole Miss ran a play every 22.5 seconds of time of possession. Pace of play was 100% totally irrelevant to Ole Miss's victory.

Viewing the Ole Miss team as some sort of team that is built to beat Alabama is a joke and everything you say should be discounted as incompetent jibber jabber.

Should have thrown a Snickers infront of him right before he made the kick.

I hate to admit it but the Gator fan is right. I really like LSU (distant second behind FSU), but I generally pull for the SEC when it has no effect on FSU.

There's some really short memory going on here. Auburn went undefeated and was kept out of a National Championship game in 2004 while we watched scrubs from the PAC 10 and Big 12 play for the National Championship game. In 2006, we came really close to having an OSU vs. Michigan rematch. We (everyone who likes the sport of football) almost had that game. Fortunately, Florida made it in. A lot of commentators and analysts did not like that. The Big 10 was were real football was played... clearly. Lot of talk about whether or not that OSU team was the best ever.

LSU barely made it into the championship game in 2007. If not for UF's performance they year before and some change in perception of the SEC as a conference, they aren't playing in that game. If not for the performance of the SEC, Florida probably doesn't make it in 2008.

The SEC, as a conference, still doesn't get the respect it deserves from everyone- see Jeff Sagarin. Does Alabama make it in last year over the other one loss teams last year if not of the dominance of the SEC?

If you don't care about the SEC doing well, in a lot of situations, you are really rooting against the well being of your own team.

You can't teach speed.

Yea, now it's just looking like he is a complete dumbass who lied about a fake relationship (not like he didn't think she was real but that the relationship with the fake person wasn't real- it's hard to follow I know) and exploited her death for personal gain. It's totally better this way right?
