ROLL TIDE!

[Kat]

Yay, Alabama wins NCG # 3242. I can't wait to see them win #3243 next year.

It's amazing how inbreeding produces such good football players

And an overwhelmingly Red state!

Notice the Heisman winner from Bama this year is from um...Florida????

BTW I noticed you kept all the ROLL TIDE emoticons I gave you years ago...

That is just sports in general. You typically have the same teams win over, and over, and over, and over again.

We all have a pretty good idea who will be back next year.

It feeds itself - a winning team is more successful in recruiting the best players, which only help it win more.

People (Red Sox fans) used to say that the Yankees bought the championships but they were really a magnet for the best players.

That is partially true. In baseball, you have to be a big market team to win. About every 20 years or so a small market team sneaks in like the Royals, but for the most part, you have to spend the money to win

As for college football, it does not matter where Urban goes, he wins. That is a sign of a good coach.

It would be interesting to see Saban venture out of the security blanket of the SEC where all the best players go in college football to see if he can still win a NCG.

Until that time, I say Urban is the best. Who else could cause a Big 10 team to win it all? The conference is horrible.

Having a top recruiting class, and therefore the best athletes, is a huge help. But that is not what wins consistently.

I don't think this Bama team was the most talented Saban has had.

And the flaw in your logic is that Ohio State does get top level recruits. According to Scout.com, for the period 2008 to 2015,OSU had a top 10 recruiting class every year except 2010 (ranked #20 that year). OSU has pulled in the #1 twice in that time period.

Alabama, during the same period, had a top 10 recruiting class every year. And had the #1 class twice.

But the big difference is, OSU was the ONLY Big 10 team with a top 10 recruiting class for 5 of those years, and the other 3 years there was only 1 other Big 10 team in the top 10 recruiting classes.

Bama, on the other hand, was never the only SEC team with a top 10 recruiting class. For two of the years, there were 6 other SEC teams with a top 10 class. The lowest number was 4, which happened 4 times.

So Bama has to play against those top level athletes year in and year out. OSU does not.

Also, Urban Meyer came to OSU in 2012. In 2011 OSU had the #6 recruiting class in the nation.
Saban showed up in 2007. Bama was not in the rankings for recruiting the previous year.

Urban walked into a quality program. Saban walked into a nightmare.

"Until that time, I say Urban is the best"?? WTH?

Nick Saban has been at the Univ of Alabama for 9 years. Every single class he recruited has a National Championship ring. Every. Single. Class. And at the bowl game we broke the NCAA record for most graduates playing in a bowl.

Urban is a good coach. But he is not even close to the best.

I love when morons think playing in the SEC is the easy road to the National Title.

Yes Alabama is the class of the SEC, always has been, this is not a new development. However...let's examine the SEC over the last 10 years.

# of SEC teams that have played in the SECCG. 9....Nine out of 16 teams have played for the title. This year Bama was the first repeat champion in almost 20 years.

4 different teams have won national titles in the last 10 years. There's only been one year an SEC team didn't play in the national title game, and that's because Bama lost in the semis.

The SEC west is just a bloodbath right now, the fact Alabama has survived it for much of the last few years is a testament to how good the coaches at Bama are, starting with Nick and going all the way through the list.

Now does that mean someone from the SEC is going to win the national title? Nope, if Clemson comes out hungry because they realize how close they got to holding the trophy, and stay healthy they're going to absolutely skulldrag everyone they play on their regular season schedule till they hit the playoff. Especially the 2 SEC teams on their schedule.

I'm not looking forward to seeing them again, but if we do I want it to be the semis, when we have extra time to prep.

 

[Kat]

Ha Ha...I knew it. I recognized them. Good thing to keep around for all these years...

 

[WinterBorn]

Several of the juniors I thought would be in the NFL draft have opted to stay for their senior year.

Watch out! Bama is just reloading!

Not only that, but Saban ran Meyer out of the SEC. Put him in the hospital last time he played Bama when he was at Florida. Lied and said he wanted to retire and be with family.
What he wanted was out of the SEC b/c he could not handle having his butt handed to him.
He was at O S in no time.

As much as I DO like Tebow...neither could he....see??

 

[Kat]

Don't get me wrong, I think Oh St is good. I have family that went there as well...and are huge fans so I pay close attention to them. They do NOT play the same kind of schedule Bama and other SEC teams play. No way.

 

[WinterBorn]

And the rich get richer!! Bama just signed another #1 recruiting class. According to Rivals.com, that makes 7 #1 recruiting classes in the last 9 years.

Stand by for a repeat!!

One more game, Bama!!!

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

I think harbaugh is going to win a national championship this year and start being competitive. Actually I don't think I hope.

I want what you got.

I think you will have to wait another year. Bama is rolling this year!! Not only is the offense clicking, the true freshman QB is a dual threat beast, the defense is killing it!!

Best number from the season so far? 11 That is the number of nonoffensive TDs Bama has scored. Of the 11 starters on defense, 7 of them have scored a TD!!

Bring on A&M!!

I just hope Michigan gets to play bama in the final 4. As rowdy Roddy Piper used to say, "if you want to be the best you got to beat the best.". Or was it Rick flair who said if you want to be the man you got to beat the man
