Alabama would have "destroyed" the Buckeyes..
-
Not every team beat bama by running forward, hitting the line, fumbling, catching the fumble, spinning around and chucking it up to Evans lol
(Based on my recollection)

Excellent article on what I have been preaching-----------------best Bama team I have seen in years due to super depth at all positions. They are going to overrun everyone in the second half of every game if they haven't secured it by halftime.
PS-Woody-it wasn't Evans. It was Swope who had worked his way free and into JM's vision. In fact it was Christine Michael (Seahawks RB) who scored 2 TD's, Swope with one and Malcome Kennedy the last on a 24 yd. beauty just over the hands of the DB. Evans was not the key factor that day. Swope & JM's feet were though.

Ah, Swope was the guy Denard beat in the NCAA 14 cover voting

I wouldn't call Bama losing to LSU, A&M, Ole Miss or Oklahoma fluky.
Team starts 11-0 then on the way to a 3-peat then has the conference and national championship stolen from them by the kick-6; didn't show up for Oklahoma. Remember Saban's second year they went 12-0, lost the SEC championship to eventual national champion Florida, and then got waxed by Utah in the bowl game? Same deal.
They missed like 4 or 5 easy FGs in a 3 point loss to LSU. They also didn't let LSU cross the 50 the other time they played them that same year, so I feel good about that one.
A&M loss was fluky for reasons already mentioned. They were also coming off of an OT win in Death Valley at night.
I'd have to rewatch the first Ole Miss game, but the second one was a complete joke. Bama crushes the QB as he gets rid of the ball. They crush the receiver as the ball gets to him. Perfectly played. Ball miraculously pops up to another receiver who runs it in for a long TD. Come on now.

Ohio State beat Alabama. That was my point. It's probably my favorite game to watch this decade.

So if they're not playing for a natty, they suck... is the basic premise of what you're telling me here.

That was the case in one of the losses. Out of, what, 5-6 that I went through? Why don't you just take the damn credit I'm giving your team?

Because by that logic, Ohio State is the only team beating themselves.
Sometimes the group across the field is Better that day and that's all that matters.

In 2014 and 2015, they were....
Yes it is.

*Sometimes the group across the field is Better that day and that's all that matters.
*By far most of the time that is true. (now not necessarily ATS although ALA 6-2, AUB, 6-1, COLO 8-0 among others are good plus the bad teams ORE 0-6-1, MST 1-6, AZ 1-6 are also bad ATS for a reason
