Each year that Alabama loses a regular season game, Nick Saban and company always manage to remain in playoff contention.

The game of football is a grind. Even good teams must endure the physical punishment, monotony of schedule, and weight of expectations that the gridiron provides. All of those things are true of teams that are in the midst of losing seasons as well, but there is no thrill of victory or hope of fulfilling […]
Auburn got off to a horrific start, mounted a furious comeback, and ultimately fell short of victory in head coach Cadillac Williams’ first outing leading the Tigers.

Auburn fans have become accustomed to seeing the Tigers struggle, but the first 15 minutes in Oxford were as bad a performance in recent memory. The defense was unable to keep the Rebels from moving the […]
There is one truth we’ve learned during the Nick Saban era: A one-loss Alabama team is a force to be reckoned with. Terrifying and menacing, no mercy is given to the remaining teams on Alabama’s schedule following a regular season loss. This truth has remained consistent since 2011. Saban’s “never waste a failing” mantra is […]
