It's official, Alabama 09-10 worst team of all BCS NC teams

I'm going to have to go with the 2003 LSU team as the worst. Even rational LSU fans will tell you that team was not that good.

Last night was not Saban's finest hour, but he won the game and is easily one of the elite coaches in college football, if not the best.

Meyer, Carroll and Brown are on that short list too.

I refuse to hate on Saban as a coach. However he could stand to loosen up a bit.

Brown's on the short list if it's about 25 deep.

I concur. Where as Coach Meyer seems overly emotionally invested, Saban seems to be the opposite and Brown is in the middle. Both excellent, so the skin the cat theory must apply here.

IMO, Saban was peeved that Mccoy was hurt and he couldn't claim victory over Texas at full strength. Lighten' up nick, they'll give you a new shirt...for free.

Both UT '98 and Bama '09 had the luxury of not going up against the opponent's starting QB in the national title game.

I disagree with the OP. If Bama is to be criticized for beating a McCoy-less Texas team, then UT shouldn't get a pass for not facing Weinke in Tempe.

At the end of the day LSU's 2-loss national title is still the most bogus of the BCS era, hands down.

True, but you could probably say it evened out with the loss of Jamal Lewis. It would have been like taking away Ingram away from Bama. I'm not saying Texas would have won with Mccoy, but I believe it would have given them a better chance to do so.

he turned around NC pretty easily. far better than butch davis. he's not a top-5 coach, but he's not fulmer either.

That's when the ACC was just Florida State. At least now there are a few teams trying. Butch Davis is far better than Brown.

he turned around NC when the ACC was football wasteland. At TX, he has won less with more talent than anyone in the country, a title he inherited from Fulmer.

i agree he's underachieved at texas considering he's got a top-5 recruiting class year every year without trying, but that still doesn't put him in fulmer territory.

I think it does. He has one real contender for the conference title. I'm not sure he'd do any better at Tennessee than Fulmer did.

OU/Texas in the Big 12 from 2000-2009 seems a lot like UT/UF was in the SEC in the 1990's.

Doesn't texas require both a 500 on the SAT and 4 stars to enroll on a football scholarship ?

I disagree, but then again, even if you're right . . . being the worst BCS title winner is sort of like being the ugliest centerfold.

Or the poorest billionaire.

I fail to see how a team that has a Heisman trophy winning back and arguably the best linebacker, receiver, DT, kicker, and returner in the SEC, aong with a terrific offensive line, could be that bad. Is it because they only rank 2nd in the nation in scoring defense and total defense and rushing defense and pass eff. defense?

That's a first rate Bama team, with a dominant defense, a very good running game, and enough weapons at receiver and in special teams to beat anybody. I don't like them, but I don't see how anybody could argue that they aren't very, very good, well deserving of the crystal egg.

In the last 6 years, Brown has played in 4 BCS games and won 3 of them. He's played in the NCG twice, won one, and was a Michael Crabtree miracle plus BCS computer geekery from playing in another.

I have a hard time putting him at the top of the best coaches list for admittedly subjective reasons, but results like that don't lie; there is no way you can categorize that as underachievement.

The thing is, with the exception of OU, Texas is far more talented than anyone they play. Who has been the third most talented team in that conference over the last few years, anyways? The Big 12 North has basically been irrelevant, and the next best team Texas plays in the South is Texas Tech. He should be in the BCS a lot.

I've got Bama fans that don't like how they won. I think this is the most overrated NC team in the BCS era. They are not that good on Defense and I think Texas would have put up 40 on them with McCoy under center.

Struggled to beat a handicapped overrated Texas team while getting all the breaks.


Congrats!


Don't forget to send Daniel Lincoln a thank-you card. ;-)
