We’ll see.

Alabama was a great team—one of the best—a couple of years ago.

But as each year came and went, great players graduated and weren’t replaced. Jalen Hurts and then Tua weren’t enough to carry Saban into another year’s championship game.

When they started as Number 1 this year I knew they were overrated. When they finally lost to LSU last month it was proved.

You never got a peep out of me otherwise.

LSU is for real.

People sometimes get too emotionally invested in their teams and can’t see it dispassionately. There’s still a ton of folks on this site who rave about Dallas and Pittsburgh because, you know, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikmen... Or even Bart Starr and Joe Namath.

The banners and triumphs of the past are just that—the past.

And that is why we play the game, any game, every day is a new chance for perfection and fame or calumny and shame

LSU beat Alabama 46-41. I believe LSU is the better team but Alabama is better than #13 ranking they have now.
