Bama Game Thread: Official Postgame Thread - Bama vs. AU...

[bamajas]

I would say, as a Data Scientist who manages teams of Data Scientists, that the FPI is flawed. There is no way Alabama should be ranked that high after losing to Vandy and being blown out by a pitiful Oklahoma.

I've not seen them lower than 7. Your data would be the significant outlier

As I'm sure you know, these statistical ratings only measure efficiency "blind" and not wins and losses. They're predictive in nature

Milroe's situational awareness still kills me. 3rd & 1, he had an easy 2-3 yards for the first but waited for a bigger opening and gets tackled short of the first down AND fumbles the ball away to boot. I nearly threw my plate of popcorn shrimp as I spewed a stream of profanities. Take the 2 yards, and get a new set of downs!

We won, it's a relief, now onto other games...

We can win a few games, but ultimately we will likely run into a brick wall at some point where we just can't move the ball, just like last week at Oklahoma. But I'd still gladly take it.

FIFY

Big difference. Saban has been doing this for years This was DeBoer's first run through the SEC. It's a little soon to be labelling him as such

I’m not labeling him anything, that’s just the difference in the two at this point As Alabama’s coach.

All ML is predictive in nature. It's not necessarily reliable for forecasting--but predictive measures are still generated and then compared against historical results to measure the AUC.

I'll take the win.............even if Milroe had to call his own number............all that talk last week from AU was all for naught

DeBoer had quite an introduction into SEC football this season. I'm sure he learned a lot. There were some issues I wish he would have handled differently, especially the area of team discipline. Overall though, he did a decent job for his first season. As fans of the Tide, we all need to be supportive as he moves forward.

Literally nobody is Nick Saban. Even if we had hired Kirby Smart, we would likely have done about the same this season. Our offense is very limited with who we have at QB I for one, would not rather have anyone else as Head Coach. DeBoer will have a statue outside Bryant Denny by 2027.

That’s because he didn’t have 3 fumbles. Played great . He only had two. Williams had the other fumble

He had 3. We recovered one of them. Lost the other 2

Didn't he have a fumble that we recovered? If so, then technically he did have 3 fumbles.

Odd that we won, afterall that barn player said he would never lose to Alabama.

Yep, all that talk was worth doodly squat..............

 

[bamaga]

Last I looked the BCS had Bama at #13.

I don’t see how seeing the Harris interactive poll no longer exists and the Sagarin has Bama at #7 and the coaches poll has the pm at #13. Those were the 3 prongs of the last bcs formula

That reminds me - there's a freshman on Auburn who's a DAMN LIAR!!!!

No one is saying they don’t want DeBoer as coach , calm down.

It just seems unnecessary to compare him to Saban all the time. It's not fair to DeBoer, because nobody is Saban, and it only leads to inevitable disappointment.

 

[CrimsonCleanse]

I just took a peek at a barn board. They are claiming the moral victory

 

[LeBron47]

BTW where was the little Aubie LB who said they would never lose to Bama while he was there. Sounds like someone was writing Wolf checks to big for his behind to cash. Some on here have said they have no joy over the Barney win. I have nothing but joy

I'm not sure I follow what your confusion is, but check out BCSKnowHow on X. They're very solid.
