I don’t hate Bama. I hate dynastic privilege. The way you talk about Bama they shouldn’t even play games until the playoff. Their record doesn’t matter. How many points were they favored over Oklahoma? I am aware that Alabama has more talent and is a better team than Indiana. They probably win 9 out of 10 games against them. You can’t hit the strip club and do blow all night and expect to win any game. Indiana’s kids definitely had more discipline. They won games they should’ve lost. They prepared well and executed. Week in and week out they showed up. Their kids are definitely more mentally tough than Bamas kids. That may be a reflection of the coach. Saban doesn’t lose that Oklahoma game. And boom Bama is in the playoff.
Do you honestly believe the best team always wins? I’m not just talking about games but championships. High level sports aren’t always won by bigger stronger faster but by those that prepare and play for each other and a lot of the times get lucky and avoid injury. I’m done with the Bama talk after this they didn’t get in and in my opinion didn’t deserve to get in. They weren’t even the most deserving snub in the mighty SEC in my opinion.
I will easily acknowledge that Bama talent wise is top 10 in the country. On any given Saturday with the right game plan and the right attitude and attention to detail they can beat anyone. Indiana is probably at best a top 30 actual team in the country and would lose to 25 plus teams if those teams brought their best game. Even if Indiana brought their best game. I will also tell you this years Indiana team brought their best game week in and week out. That means something and should mean something. There is a reason we play the games. Alabamas team did not.
The year the Raptors won the championship does anyone actually believe that Golden State wasn’t the best team. If Durant is healthy, you really think they lose to Toronto. But we can’t just crown the best team on paper with the title at the beginning of the year we have to play the game.
If bama brought the level of focus and intensity they brought against Oklahoma against Indiana, they lose.
You satisfied, talent wise your boys, Alabama, top 10 all day. Indiana talent wise isn’t even top 25. That doesn’t change the fact Indiana deserved in and Alabama deserved out.
Fuck if we just doing things off paper, week 1. Let’s just line up my Eagles against the Chiefs and crown a Super Bowl champion.
