🏈 What was the best team Alabama ever beat?

What was the best team Alabama ever beat? A lot of really good ones lost to the Crimson Tide.

 

[TideatMileHigh]

Off the top of my head: Clemson in 2015

The Miami Hurricanes in 1992 would be up there as well. Warren Sapp was on that team.

 

[OldPlayer]

Penn State in 1979 (1978 season). Undefeated and ranked #1 going into the Sugar Bowl.

On more than one occasion. I wonder what that record of those losses would be of the games in which Bama beat themselves. IMO, most of them.

ROLL TIDE ANYWAY!

I was being a smart ass: but not to that much of a degree.

IE: LSU, '11 with the missed field goals.
IE: Ole Miss, '15, with some of the craziest bounces I've seen in my life.

A&M in ‘12

When we walked into Tenn-ass-ee and broke their qb’s leg.. They were number one.. I was a kid so I can’t remember the date..

A&M in ‘12

I played a quick nine yesterday: back nine at Crowfield. On #16/#7 ...202 to the middle, 195 to the flag, wind blowing out over the water.

Now. I could toe down a 5i, run it like I'm playing a links course in England, or throw a 7H up in the air and let the wind do it's thing. The beauty of that...just watching the ball drop due to the wind.

I pull the 7H, and ended up in the water. I was +1 going into 7.

I went into the tee box at 8, +4. I beat myself.

There's this notion that "beat themselves" is an excuse. But damn. It's a reality.

That's another record Bama football holds: most wins against a team ranked #1 in the AP poll. I think it's 11-5 now.

The 1990 win vs @Tennessee...has to rank near top...TN was ranked near top of cf...

As does 84 win vs AU...late in game..au down 17-15 and Dye goes for 4th n 1 at bama 1 instead of kicking fg...for win. ....biggest blunder in series

But go with 92 win vs defending NCs and HT winner at QB... Miami... and the WeSlammaBama fraternity ....in Sugar bowl for national championship .few gave bama any chance

 

[rick4bama]

The 1977 game agian the USC @Los Angeles. Bama win because of a miss 2 points conv. 21-20.

You thought I was being a smart ass? Interesting. I don't possess the pull on this site to earn that moniker. Just submitting a poser was all I was doing. Sorry you took it as being a smart ass, it was not my intention.

ROLL TIDE ANYWAY!

You own the pull you want. You are OG.

 

[64Tide]

Best team UA has beat would have to be a #1 team. Two time defending National Champs, winner of 29 games in a row has to be the team.

I was enjoying the rest of my day, eating my fruit salad.... and you had to go and bring this bullshit up.

I stated this multiple times during the Saban era, Bama plays a clean game they win. So by definition when they lost it was because they beat themselves.

I feel your pain. I've usually beat myself after #1.

Specifically the 2018 team. That loss to Clemson was one of the strangest Bama games I've ever seen. The halftime stats were lopsided in our favor, and yet it was already over. So weird.
