Don’t worry though. In a couple years this won’t mean anything and Bama will still be in the playoff.
GAME #6 Alabama @ #10 LSU ESPN

Similar to the play Clem ran with Watson to beat Bama wasn't it?
I was wrong about BK, LSU and Jaden Daniels from this off-season

Maybe Brian Kelly is a good coach after all? Still a shit human being though.

Coach lost it. You go for 2 points after 2 touchdowns. Had they just kicked it one time and hit the kick, they win in regulation and it doesnt get to overtime.
My wish list for the off season.
Fire Golding and bring in someone who knows defense.
Fire O'Brien and bring in someone who can utilize the talent on offense we have on this team.
Quite honestly, and I told my wife this tonight, this team would get skull fucked in the playoffs.
Georgia is by far the best team in the SEC at this point, and Tenn is a close second, but LSU is starting to gain some steam and could be a tough out in a SEC title game.

Only the two times when they were Undefeated, Ranked #01 and lost and went from National Championship to other Bowl in 2008 and 2013. The three times Saban has had mutiple losses, he is (3-0) in Bowl games: 2007 Independence, 2011 Citrus and 2020 Citrus. They will be just fine wherever they Bowl this year.

Let me rephrase this…we don’t lose many games but the ones we do are all in heartbreaking fashion
I mean he did kill a kid at Notre Dame, but that was an awesome fucking win today.

I am not 100% sure this time. This really might be the beginning of the end. We will see. There are eerie vibes of the later Bear Bryant years right now in Alabama with Saban. The SEC is catching up to Saban and I think he is starting to fall behind the game. We will see. The recruiting still seems to be there but the development doesn't seem to be there.
No program can stay on top forever. Alabama was super dominate in 1960s and 1970s with Bear Bryant supplanting Tennessee who was dominate from 1930s-1950s. Alabama was decent in 1980s and early 1990s as well but fell off after that. SEC went to Florida and Tennessee in 1990s. Then it looked like Tennessee would dominate once Spurrier went to NFL after 2001. 2002 Tennessee was a huge favorite and then our program collapsed. Georgia and LSU came up. Then Auburn came up. Then Florida came back with Urban Meyer until finally Alabama got Saban.
However, Alabama was really down from 1997-2007 and they really were not even dominate once Bryant stepped away in 1983 until Saban came along. The sport is cyclical. B1G is really top heavy historically with Michigan and Ohio State. Penn State is a great program too but most of their success was before they joined the B1G. Same is true with Nebraska.
The problem is CFB doesn't change in a 2-3 year span. It changes over the course of a 10-15 year span.

You cheated and multiple people testified against you guys. Also it was bad coaching hires like Mike Dubose, Dennis Franchione (he was a good coach but left you like Kiffin did us), and Mike Shula.

It is wishful thinking to believe Bama's time is coming to an end. They have the #1 recruiting class for 2023 and have verbals from a ridiculous 5 five star recruits and 13 of the top 100 recruits.
They will be completely fine. Now if they leave their coaching staff as is -- then yeah, I could see them having issues, but Saban is going to clear house, especially on the defensive side of the ball. When you recruit like Bama does -- you aren't done until those recruits start going elsewhere.

Fran was a good hire. That 2002 team was good. But he was miserable here and laid an egg in the Iron Bowl because he already took the A&M job

Bama will be fine as far as talent goes. They may have missed some on the o-line and WR the past couple years, but recruiting has been fine.
BOB and Golding have to go though. Defense has been mediocre at best under golding and the offense under BOB is just fucking questionable at best

They seem a step behind Georgia right now and LSU looks like they could legitimate close the gap with Brian Kelly given time.
Alabama also benefited from some of their rivals (most notably Tennessee) being complete shit for several years. If LSU and Tennessee start become real threats again to Alabama, they are going to have a harder time. They also got Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss right now which is another headache although I am not sure he is going to stay their long-term.
I am not sure about Jimbo Fisher. He looked like a threat at one-time but man that seems like a century ago now with the way they are playing.

Actually, at that point, it is the safest move for LSU. They had a chance to make a 2 point conversion to win without 'Bama having a chance to match it. If they kick, they have to start trying to make a 2 and have Alabama miss one to win or they kick a FG in the second OT and have Alabama match the FG or win with a TD. Auburn should have gone for two in this exact same situation last year, and they would have had a better chance to win in OT vs. 'Bama. Just my opinion, but what Kelly did there was the high percentage move to win.

I also think one direction we are heading back to (and it won't be fast) is a more even spread of blue chip athletes in the SEC. Alabama and now Georgia have had a strangle hold but as other programs start to rise, that could change quickly. I think NIL will impact some of that as well. It is much needed and the SEC could go back to how it looked from 2000-2010 with multiple teams in contention again.
2014-2016 was kind of rough because Alabama just dominated the league from a recruiting stand point. Kirby Smart's Georgia was the first one to start competing with Saban on recruiting.
