If Alabama was going to lose because of some silly "stat", they should have lost in 2016. Alabama lost in 2007 and won in the 2 years following. Alabama lost in 2010 and won in the 2 years following. Alabama lost in 2013 and won in the 2 years following. The "stat" is meaningless because the trend was broken in 2016.

It amuses me when people look at previous years' results and interpolate data - it literally makes no sense 99% of the time...

Alabama is 4-0 every time I watch the game alone. I am watching the game alone.

I agree. What happens in previous years have NO BEARING on what happens in the current year. They are interesting facts but it doesn't anything when the game begins.

This is what is called “correlation without causation.” Plus, the sample size of AU teams with 9 or more wins is too small to allow any meaningful conclusions...

I read somewhere that 9 out of 5 internet statistics were complete nonsense.

Totally saving this one, thank you.

What I take from that is that Auburn has only won 9 or more games 3 times since 2007. Meanwhile Alabama has won 9 or more games 10 times, or every year except 2007. Sucks to suck Auburn lol.

And yet the majority of barner fanatics will be more proud of the Finebaum stat ... tattoos and rings coming soon.

rolltide_21 · Nov 21, 2017

So, I gather from the “Finebaum stat” that Auburn is mediocre to bad more often than they’re good. A logical deduction given we beaten them more times than they us [emoji3].

Yeah, but you need to sit in your lucky chair, eat your lucky meal, and wear your lucky tee shirt or Alabama has no chance. :biggrin:

Alabama is going to win this game. I am supremely confident.

"Quick......let's find some completely unrelated to the issue at hand nonsense to spout as if it actually has any bearing on the game and get people to talking about the game and the totally meaningless issue....."

Amazingly enough, Alabama has won 100% of the games they were leading when the clock hit 0:00. Come to think of it, so has every team ever......so that might mean something significant perhaps....

The stat is complete bupkis but just wanted to throw out that the first three of those were before college football added the extra game, all of the Bama ones were after which makes it a lot easier to get to 9 wins considering usually that extra game is a cupcake for most schools. IOW, before 2006 a 9 win team was likely a better team than after 2006.

So in the 12 years in which it was easier to get to 9 wins Auburn still only managed to do it 4 times.

The other fact of the matter is that with the sole exception of 2013, Saban did not have the better team, either.

And that's what games usually come down to anyway.

(Hell, we win 2013, too, with just one better executed play among MANY at any time during the game).

Hey Selma, I am trying to PM you with a question. Is there a way I can get it to you?

I couldn't even believe it was set forth as a "stat." It's just a random coincidence...

I already pointed this out on the Facebook page for them... and replied to ol' Finebaum about it too.

The problem is that a lot of those have the 9th win AS Saban, which is a self-fulfilling prophecy. On 5 occasions, Auburn had 8 wins and a loss to Saban.

So, in 8+Saban, they are a "not bad but not as good a story" 6-5.

RT27 · Nov 21, 2017

Next thing you know they will bring in astrology, what phase the moon is in, whether mars was in retro grade LOL. All I know is most trends, and past games really have no bearing on a game. It comes down to who is better, and or who executes better on that day. Then toss in the bounce of the ball and other fluke things. Now the flukes mean a lot less when one team is stomping another, they are huge in close games where one play can win or lose a game. I wonder if the type and color of the coaches clothes have any patterns to wins LOL

Saban4Ever · Nov 21, 2017

Stats are interesting but the main thing I worry about for this game is :
1. Will our linebackers be healthy?

2. How will the penalties that Auburn will not get called for impact the game?

3. Can we establish the run?

As long as the Stats say we are 1 point better at the end, that is what matters. It will be one of those games that makes me anxious. I already am.

My PM here doesn't work.

Send it to billbrownthm@gmail.com

Thx.

(I don't know why; Earle has the PTB looking into it).
