[saturdaysarebet]

Considering the quality of opponent, what was the best played game by the Crimson Tide under Nick Saban?

09 SEC title game. If you take into account How good Florida was that year. I think Alabama only had 2 penalties the entire game.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

09 Ole Miss. They had a grand total of 22 yards in the first half. 22!

 

[rolltide7854]

The 2011 BCS championship game against LSU winning 21-0

 

[bamadws56]

2020 Championship game against Ohio State.

2011 LSU Championship game

 

[mdb-tpet]

2008 Alabama Auburn game 36-0. It really sealed the deal that Alabama was back, and all of the other teams in the SEC had to dump their coaching staffs if they ever wanted to win against us again.

2014 vs. Texas A&M. No team in the country was gonna beat us on that day!

 

[selmaborntidefan]

The nominees:
2008 vs Georgia (blackout game)
2009 SECCG vs Florida
2012 BCSNCG vs LSU
2015 vs Georgia (post-Ole Miss hangover)
2015 vs LSU
2015 CFP vs Michigan St
2021 SECCG vs Georgia

My vote is undecided but between the 2012 LSU national title game and the 2021 UGA game.

meh, it was a 7-5 team.

Yeah, we fired on all cylinders but......

2020 national championship. Bama won 52-24 but they would have hung 70 on Ohio State if Waddle played (realize he played a few snaps) and Smith had not gotten hurt right away in the 3rd quarter. That Ohio State team had Justin Fields, Chris Olave, Garret Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Our defense stepped up and the offense was almost unstoppable.

I haven't seen this one mentioned, but the 2013 BCS NCG against Notre Dame gets my vote. It was total domination from start to finish. The best half is either the 2018 semifinal against OU or the 2008 UGA game.

 

[RammerJammer14]

Man, it’s so hard to say. I was going to say 09 SECC vs Florida, but that has been mentioned several times. It might be nostalgia but I will say the 08 opener vs Clemson.

This game, in all phases, was the best that I have ever seen Alabama play. We were dominated on the biggest stage.

Ya, when the biggest hit our quarterback took was in the 4th quarter when he got in an argument with one of his teammates over getting too complacent.

 

[MemphisBamaDude]

I’ll say the bowl game at the end of the 2010 season vs Michigan State. We wrecked them and it basically set the tone for the dominance of the next two years.

 

[bamaga]

Most games in the 2008, 2009 seasons for me. I remember half way through 2008 that Nick Saban coached teams choked the life out of their opponent, gave them no hope. Set the standard for what was to come.

Was I meant to read all the "WRONGS" as Dana Carvey's impression of the SNL skit of the mclaughlin group? because that is how I read them.

yup!

I think i will go with 2016 cfp championship game against clemson. That was the first year that Saban had to win on offense. Clemson was on fire and Bama matched them score for score and that onside kick was a thing of beauty. Plus the whole "watch out Kenyon Drake can fly!!!"
