Yep. It always seems like Bama, across all sports, plays better as an underdog, though it has rarely happened in football over the past 15 years.I hate to see Bama #1 during the season in any sport….The only time I want Bama #1 is at the very end of it all..
Yawl watching the same Bama team I watch at least in football? Do not think it has mattered to much to Saban coached teams.Yep. It always seems like Bama, across all sports, plays better as an underdog, though it has rarely happened in football over the past 15 years.
Yep. They let too many inferior teams hang around too long.Yawl watching the same Bama team I watch at least in football? Do not think it has mattered to much to Saban coached teams.
So 1 or 2 years count for the entire time Saban’s been here? You sir speak in too many absolutesYep. They let too many inferior teams hang around too long.
It's happened the whole time Saban has been here, and every coach before him back to Coach Bryant.So 1 or 2 years count for the entire time Saban’s been here? You sir speak in too many absolutes
Bama has not lost to an unranked team since Sabans first year.. Now if youi are asking did they always cover probably not. Could they have? Likely in most cases.

Found this article that might align with your position but gives some possible reasons - Johnson: Why Alabama Doesn't Cover Big Spreads vs. 'Cupcakes'
Yep, also ended the streak of Saban having never lost to one of his former assistants. NOT one of Golding (and Saban's) defense finer moment.Bama lost to an unranked Texas A&M last year (2021 season).
One year..... Your comments seemed to be broader than one year. No one on here will argue last year was not an outlier year and that game was for sure and example.Bama lost to an unranked Texas A&M last year (2021 season).
My comment was broader, but it wasn't about wins and losses. I stated that his teams allow inferior teams to hang around too long into games. Too many games against inferior teams that were closer than they should have been at the half. I didn't mention wins and losses in my original post:One year..... Your comments seemed to be broader than one year. No one on here will argue last year was not an outlier year and that game was for sure and example.
A quick example is The CItadel in 2018. The halftime score was 10-10. That halftime score should've been AT LEAST 35-0.Yep. They let too many inferior teams hang around too long.
