And another thing. I just saw AJ Mccarron on the cover of SI with the headline "King Crimson" (which im sure he has no idea what that is) making a case that hes maybe the best ever. Cam Newton is the best college football player ever and its not close. The guy earlier said "Its not fair playing the SEC West" and granted Bama doesnt ever have to play Bama, but still, they have not worked a tough schedule this year. They gave up 42 at whats turned out to be a very mortal A&M, they beat down a pretty good LSU at home and thats it for this year. Last year they beat a good but not great LSU team in death valley with a last second td drive, lost to A&M at home, beat a good georgia team in a barnburner in atlanta, and then smoked an, i think at this point we can all agree, an overmatched ND team that wasnt a worthy MNC contender. And then the year before they got to avenge a home loss in the title game. Basically if any other school did what bama has done in the regular season the past three years; they would not have played in either of the last two title games, and would be ranked maybe #1, maybe #2 and maybe #3 this year. Granted saban is great and bama is a great program, but part of their national championship run is self fulfilling.
