Do you mean that they elevate their level of play or that, IYO, Bama's incomptence makes them look like a Heisman candidate ?
We have not had many defenses that I would call incompetent in my 40+ years of living, so I suppose I would choose your choice A. Although, there have been a few games where I wondered aloud what in the h-e-double hockey sticks was going on.

I think that what the hell is going on is that we always get the other teams absolute best shot of their season...

Exactly. Facing Alabama, especially Bama/Bryant or Bama/Saban, tremendously heightens the concentration and all of one's senses, as well as elevating adrenalin. It seems like it was RB's in Bryant's day: Cunningham and Davis of USC, Galbreath of Mo, Alexander LSU, etc.; now it's QBs: Garcia, Manziel, Marshall 2014, C. Jones. Corresponds to the changes in the nature of the game.

Bama doesn't always play great, but the primary problem is the elevated play of the opposition.
