Just forget it, or let Selma answer it because you just aren't getting it by me explaining it without putting variables in the equation that weren't the meat or point of the argument. Because you are still comparing TEAMS ON THE FIELD and not WINNING IN SEEMINGLY UNIMPRESSIVE FASHION . If that doesn't hit it home then nothing I will ever say will, so I'll let Selma do it.

Fwiw One of Selma's most liked championships is the 92 one because of his hatred of the Miami dynasty. So if he is saying it then it clearly is in no way comparing the success of the 2 teams.

I maintain there is a huge gulf between winning in a dominant fashion but by an unimpressive score, perhaps...

And depending on magic and luck and officiating like ut so far

Good Night

Only one we can afford to lose is UT, and that's only because they're in the east. If we lose only to them, we still control our destiny, not just for the SECCG, but alfor the playoff.

If we go 3-1 in that stretch, and the loss is to someone other than UT, we need help to get to Atlanta, which means we need help to get into the playoff. After the hoo-hah in 2011, there's no way we get in without being SEC Champs.



I think we're better than all four of those teams. The problem is, as it always is, with the grind of the SEC. It's just numbers:

If you assume we have a 70% chance against each one of the four, that translates into a 24% chance of winning all four. In order to have a 50/50 shot at winning all four, we have to have an average chance of winning each individual game of 84%.

Just play one at a time, and keep on keeping on.

I have refrained from commenting on this thread. I guess I grew up in the 70's with CPB. We never said we will go 3-1 in a stretch and win. The level of expectation was we won them all. Oh I do think CPB won a few SEC championships. Why should think this team will loose. I for one am damn proud to be a baby boomer and didnt have to deal with the internet and smart phones. We just kept on winning.

Well maintain that all you want and I will even agree if that was what the comparison was about, but you are totally in left field in the point being compared even though you are factually correct in the subject that you think the comparison is about.

Good night

Yup.

This year, I',more confident than ever that we will make this four game stretch undefeated. Yeah, things can happen, but this team not only has the talent, but it seems to have 'it'...

I like it and I think we got another 2009 season this season! 4-0!

No one has a crystal ball but if we show up and play each game like we are capable of, we blow all of them out -- even with Hurts playing like a freshman. By that I mean, we win by 3 TD's. Before we really got started this season, the only team that came close to worrying me was Ole Miss. No reason we can't do it. If we lose, it will be because of blind luck (always possible any season) or we just don't show up.

It's actually one of the better. Miami was viewed as the unstoppable juggernaut while Bama was viewed as lucky to be there. Bama had so many close wins that some people called them the nickname the "cardiac kids".

I think you are referring to the 1994 team. The '92 team only had 2 reg season games that were not more than one score: So Miss early 17-10 and #13 UT by the same score. Bama dominated the UT game and let them sneak in late. It's a common recited myth that the '92 team had a bunch of close games. They only blew a few out, but most were comfortable wins with the way the game was played then and Bama's transcendent D.

The '94 team was also undefeated in the reg season, but it played several nail biters in which Bama was losing or tied late and had to drive for a game winning score or make a play on D. E.g., UGA 29-28, MSU 29-25, UT 17-13, Ark 13-6, AU 21-14. Even OM 20-10, OM was dominating then a thunderstorm struck suspending the game where upon resumption the momentum totally changed. It was a bizarre game altogether. That may be the season you were thinking about.

just me watching from the couch, but i see the 'it' in this team that i didn't see until about halfway through the season last year.

I'm fairly confident we dominate against Ark and UT. The only game I'm really worried about is A&M. We will know more about them this weekend, but they look for real. Defense is better and Knight is dangerous if we break contain. I'd like to see us perform like we did last time they were at home.

I agree with those who say LSU is still our toughest game but the only way we drop of these four is if our Offense has an off week.

QB play needs to improve and defense cant go missing like with Ole Miss before TA&M. I think it can, lets hope so.
