Dude you're as lost as I have ever seen a person be, but after all you did want Chizik or Dooley. The first southern football playing school to to awarded the NC in football was LSU in 1908, then Auburn in 1910, 13 & 14. Georgia Tech in 1916 & 17. Georgia in 1920, Vandy in 1921 & 22. All before Alabama's first claimed NC in 1925. Alabama made the SEC, Well let's see ? SEC started in 1933. Alabama claims 1934 as a NC year, then you have LSU in 1935 & 36. Tennessee in 1938 & 40. We're not even gonna put 1941 Alabama in here, since everybody knows what joke that is. Georgia in 1942 & 46, Tennessee & Kentucky 1950, Tennessee & Georgia Tech in 51. Georgia Tech in 1952. Ole Miss in 1955, Tennessee & Georgia Tech in 1956. Auburn in 1957, LSU in 1958. LSU & Ole Miss in 59, Ole Miss in 60, before you get back to Alabama again in 1961. Then again you have LSU & Ole Miss in 1962. Then Alabama again in 1964 & 65, Tennessee in 1967, Geogria 1968. Before you get to Alabama in 1973,78 & 79. Georgia in 1980. Auburn in 1983, Florida in 1984 & 85. Before Alabama again in 1992. Auburn in 1994. Florida in 1996, Tennessee in 1998. LSU in 2003, Auburn in 2004. Florida in 2006, LSU in 2007, Florida in 2008. Alabama in 2009, Auburn in 2010. LSU & Alabama in 2011, Alabama in 2012. Kinda looks like it's been a shared accomplishment in making the SEC what it is, you see unlike Alabama who claimes every time somebody voted them as the NC and other schools only claim major poll titles, doesn't mean they don't have them and can't claim them just as Alabama does. Oh and just so you will know, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee & Georgia are all ranked in the top 13 in the history of college football at the FBS level in all-time wins. Kinda looks like Alabama had a little help wouldn't you say ??? As the old saying goes, don't want to do the time, don't commit the crime.
By the way, more polls and awarding services awarded LSU the NC in 2011 than how many awarded Alabama as the NC for that year.
That's right BamaTime. Maybe you can understand what they are saying here, instead of once making a dumb comment. That is still for the whole season, not just conference games. This is a list of the highest nationally ranked defense out of the conference the last 5 years, not highest ranked in conference play defenses, which is what LSU's defense was in 2011. Not a sharp one there are you BamaTime ?? Once again what was Bama's non-conference games that year ?? Kent St., middle of the road Penn St., North Texas & Georgia Southern, and like I said is also the reason why they finished ranked #1 nationally in defense. While LSU played played against Oregon & West Virginia both of which were top 5 nationally ranked offenses. Then in SEC play, you know against conference teams, LSU's defense finished ranked #1 in conference play in 2011. You see how it works BamaTime ?? Pretty simple, right ???
Actually 1962 was the last time LSU was awarded a NC in football, it was an unclaimed title, 1958 was the last major poll title, but even today there is still 30 plus services that award a NC in football with none being anymore credible than any of the others. Between 1958 and 2003 LSU had pretty much the same record as Saban's 03 team 11 times, which is also the same record as over haft of the NC's years that Alabama claims over that same time. So it's not exactly like Saban went to LSU and did something that hasn't happened there before or Alabama was just so much better than anybody else over that same time. Because of such things as that, that's why about 100 % of the people that actually know the true history about NC's in FBS football and how they were awarded all agree that they are a joke, and understand why the NCAA doesn't recognize of them as a NC, it's the only sport that the NCAA doesn't award or recognize a NC in. So in a sense all FBS schools are tied with the same number of NCAA awarded and recognized NC's in football at the FBS level with 0. You see there a lot coaches out there with better win percentages than Saban, better overall record than Saban, and just as many or more years where they could have been awarded the mythical NC in FBS football as Saban has. Because of the system is why schools like Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, Michigan & Ohio St. can claim those NC years and such where nobody really even awarded them a mythical NC in that year, about 99% of the other schools outside of those there only claim major poll title. LSU was actually the first southern football playing school to be awarded the mythical NC in football in 1908 by the National Championship Foundation. You don't win 800 football games and not have few good seasons alone the way, even between 1958 and 2003. Being awarded a NC throughout those years was nothing more than a popularity contest back then and Bryant was known to be one of the biggest ass kissers out there to the awarding outlets, even had a worse record than other teams in some years and loss to those teams head to head in those years, but was awarded a NC over those teams, yeah ok.
Although the Alabama defense finished the 2011 season ranked #1 in the country and LSU's defense was a very, very close #2 at the end of the season nationally, only because LSU played two top 5 nationally ranked offenses that year in non conference play in Oregon and West Virginia, but LSU finished with the #1 ranked defense in the SEC that year, with Alabama's defense being at #2 in the SEC that year. So to say the 2011 Alabama defense was the best in the history of the game is not exactly a true statement. That LSU team played 9 ranked teams that year and played 4 games that year against teams ranked #3 or higher in the country that year, which is also a NCAA record for a season. While Alabama's non-conference games that year were against, Kent State, a middle of the road Penn. State team, North Texas & Georgia Southern. That 2011 Alabama defense barely finished ahead of LSU's nationally even after playing such a weak non-conference schedule.
Oh looks like somebody got their feathers ruffed a little, right Darviathar??? The truth is if Fournette gets to play the first game of the season this year he would already have the record this year. C'mon dude quit being a homer and get serious. Derrick Henry is not better than Herschel Waller, he is not better than Bo Jackson, Darren McFadden, Dalton Hilliard, Charles Alxander, Kevin Faulk, Errict Rhett, Emmitt Smith, George Rogers, Deuce McCallister, Dexter McCluster, Shaun Alexander, Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb or Leonard Fournette and the list goes on from here. No way Fournette breaks Henry's record because he plays for LSU and they can't throw the ball. Get real dude, Henry had 5 games this year where he didn't eclipse 100 total yards, Fournette had 1 such game. The Florida defense played against Henry, Fournette & Cook from FSU this year, they were asked to rank the 3 backs, know what they said ???? I'll tell you, #1 Fournette #2 Cook #3 Henry, but what do they know, right ??? What was that about he won't break is own record ?? Dude you are lost, he ran against 9 and 10 men box's all year long and still had 2,000 yards rushing on the season. He pretty much had 2,000 rushing yards this year with 300 carries in only 12 games, Henry had 100 more carries, 3 more games, but only had a little over 200 more rushing yards on the season, Fournette makes that up plus some just by playing the first game of the season this year that got cancelled. Fournette outperformed Henry in almost every common opponent game this year. Let's just look at total yards on the season, Henry - 406 total touches 2,310 total yards in 15 games, Fournette - 310 total toaches 2,212 total yards in 12 games this year. Wake up dude, give Fournette another 100 toaches on the season and this is not even close. Why you get so mad about Melvin Gordan ?? There is no need to and I will show you why. Gordan - 343 carries 2,587 yards then add in his 19 receptions and the receiving yards from them he is at 2,740 total yards. Like I said, no need to get mad about that, just as they said Gordan's numbers were better than Henry's were, that's just simple math. Dude get your panties out of a wad, records are made to be broken and Fournette will probably be the player to do it, it's just that simple. Henry is not considered as a great back, not even close to it, he is a one cut back, doesn't have the speed to play in the NFL as a every down back, he is not considered as a back that you can throw to out of the backfield, doesn't move well enough to play in a zone blocking scheme, which is what about 99% of the NFL uses, hell most of the NFL people grade Henry out as a 4th rounder or lower? Those same people grade Fournette out as a top 5 pick lock and more than likely #1 overall pick. Most of them along with me feel that Henry is nothing but a product of the Alabama defense, because he doesn't get consistent yards throughout the course of a game, his yards come in bulk from the middle of the 3rd qt. to the end of the game, that's right against gassed defenses that have been on the field for 3/4's of the game, because their offense can't have consistent time consuming drives throughout the course of a game against Alabama's defense, a lot of 3 & outs and such, then their defense is right back out on the field, yes a lot of people have caught on to that with Henry. LSU won't play 14 much less 15 games, well in case you didn't know it, the only reason Alabama doesn't is because Saban is the only coach in not just the SEC by in the country that processes underachieving players out of his program with 1 year renewable scholarships. Winning a football game is just not that important enough to do that to the kids that a coaching staff has made promises to if they will come and play for them. Make them all of these promises if they will come and play for them, then if that player is not quite as good as he was suppose to be, well it doesn't matter when you do it Saban's way, no big deal, just doesn't renew the kids scholarship, kicks that very same kid that he made all kinds of promises to if he would come and play for him straight out to the curb. It's easy to win football games when you do that, no recruiting bust that way, don't have 20 or so scholarships tied up with kids that are of no real benefit to his program, build great depth like that, no drop off in talent from the #1 guy on the depth chart to the #3 guy or so on the depth chart, the yearly roster turnover doesn't have near the affect on his program as it does everybody else's that doesn't do that. I'm guessing you all just thought he was that much better of a coach than all of the others out there, didn't you ??? C'mon dude he was 34-24 at Michigan St. as the head coach, the difference is the big 10 doesn't let its member schools to use 1 year renewable scholarships. Every time the SEC talks about making them 4 year mandatory scholarships there is always 1 coach that throws a fit to keep them as 1 year renewable scholarships, wonder why that is ??? You certainly would think that a coach that claims that he cares so much for his players would surely want to make sure his players are taking care of with 4 year mandatory scholarships, I mean you would think that he would, right ?? Oh and by the way, Leonard Fournette, all of the LSU fans and any & everybody else that would be involved with it, could really care less about Henry's record , because there is a record bigger than that one we want. Henry''sis just i something we will pass on the way there. The SEC immortatallly they are talking about with Fournette is the fact that he only needs 2,200 more rushing yards to break Herschel Walker's all-time SEC rushing record.
Do you people actually know or just like to think that y'all do. You have a clue why LSU's pass defense was ranked 8?in the SEC with routine busted coverages. Well I will tell you why, it was the scheme. Unlike in prior years where LSU played a lot of 0 coverage ( man ) on the back end. This year they pretty much played zone all year out of a cover 3 ( 3 deep zone ). That's where the busted coverages would come in. In a 0 coverage the DB goes where ever the receiver he is locked up with goes. In a cover 2 or 3 the DB doesn't lock up with a certain receiver, they are responsible for an area of the field. If a receivers route brings him into a DB's area he picks him up, if the receivers route takes him back out of that DB's area the DB releases the receiver to the other DB whose area the receivers route took him into. That's where all of the busted coverages came from this year, the other DB not picking the receiver up when his route took him into the next DB's area. It's an easy fix, and will be fixed the up coming season, simply because of the different defensive schemes that Kevin Steele uses and the scheme that LSU's new DC uses. This coming season you will see the LSU defense being a more attacking bring pressure up front type of defense while playing 0 ( man ) almost 100% of the time on the back end, in other words, you will see what people expect to see out of an LSU defense. Controlling the line of scrimmage bring pressure while letting the athletes on the back end do their job by locking down on a single receiver with a single safety high to help keep everything in front of the DB's. That's what an LSU defense is suppose to look like, and not that crape that Kevin Steele ran last year. Then the part about LSU's one dimensional offense and Fournette not doing anything against the meat of the schedule. Just wondering if you cats are aware that Fournette outperformed the Heisman trophy winner against those same teams ??? Arkansas, Henry - 27 touches 95 yards, Fournette - 22 touches 127 total yards. Ole Miss, Henry - 28 touches 168 total yards, Fournette - 29 touches 180 total yards, worst game on the season, Fournette - 18 carries 31 yards against Alabama, was also the only game out of the 12 he played this year that he didn't eclipse 100 total yards. Henry's - 14 carries 52 yards against Louisiana Monroe, 1 of 5 games on the season that he didn't eclipse 100 total yards. Kinda just looks like Henry was lucky to play those games earlier in the season than what Fournette did, wouldn't you say SDS ??? Now for Lane Kiffin. Once again you SDS guys have proven that you don't have a clue. All Kiffin uses is a pro-style offense with the passing game for the most part just being off of play action, he has incorporated a very little bit of some spread concepts into it with some 4 receiver sets, but nothing that anybody hasn't already seen before, actually it's a simple offense that he is using, nothing new or something that nobody has never seen before, but to hear you all to talk about it, he has just totally changed the way offensive football is played with what he is doing, that's not even close to the actual truth about. How about you SDS cats pull your heads out of Alabama's ass for a little while, the fresh air might even clear y'all's heads up some as to where you all can actually think straight a little bit every now & then.
You do know that these numbers are incorrect, right ?? At the end of last season Alabama, Oklahoma & Penn.St. were all tied with 849 claimed wins, pretty sure Alabama didn't play 29 games this year. Just pulled Alabama's up on their own page, 864-326-43, bowl record 36-24-3, but these cats have 878-300-42, with a bowl record of 35-24-3. Auburn on anything you look at as for as all-time wins are right at 750 wins, but these cats have them at 715-417-47, Just pulled it up 742-421-47, bowl record 23-15-2. The reason I knew that this was wrong is because Auburn is ranked at #13 in the history of FBS football in wins, and will the next program to reach 750 all-time wins. Tennessee on their own page has 815-367-54, bowl record 26-24, SDS has 820-371-53, bowl record 27-24. LSU 770-404-47, bowl record 24-21-1, that's all right other than LSU has their bowl record at 24-22-1. Georgia 787-413-54, bowl record 29-19-3 that's all right. South Carolina claims 587 wins, SDS has them at 550. Arkansas claims 701 wins, SDS has them at 668 wins. These numbers are all over the place. Some say that Alabama doesn't have that many wins, some games claimed as wins by Alabama the other school that Alabama said they beat said they didn't even play Alabama that year, about 15 or so of those are disputed, some say that Alabama has not removed all NCAA vacated wins from their all-time win total, around 30 or so of them. Man who knows, I guess we know one thing, the actual real numbers in college football are anyone's own guess, because nobody really knows the truth. I do know this though, there is a small group of schools that are often referred to as the historic 12, they are considered as the most historical and storied programs in the history of college football at the FBS level, they are in no order Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Notre Dame, Ohio St., Michigan, Penn.St. & Nebraska, those are also the 12 winningest programs in the history of college football at the FBS level, Auburn is considered as the first team out of that group.
This site loves them some Alabama. Never hear them say anything bad about them. Just don't know why Trent Richardson was a bust with all of his greatness at Alabama and his 3,800 and something yards. Yeah but why didn't you add everybody else's receiving yards and such to their totals ?? Yeldon having a big 700 rushing yards in the NFL should be no surprise to anybody after having 3,000 yards rushing at Alabama. Henry the greatest running back in the history of the game, but had 5 games this year where he didn't eclipse 100 total yards, he only had 52 against Louisiana Monroe this year. Now all the little Albama fans will start crying but Henry didn't play all game against ULM, so. He had 147 yards against Wisconsin on 13 carries, but only had 52 against ULM with 14 carries, if he can put 147 yards up against Wisconsin on 13 carries, he should at least be able to do that to ULM with 14 carries, wouldn't you think ??? Then turn around and say well despite a late season slip by Fournette. Well I want to ask you something, you said that about Fournette, but you failed to mention that even with your so-called late season slip that Fournette still outperformed Henry against Ole Miss & Arkansas, why is that ??? You know since Henry had 27 touches against Arkansas for 95 yards, while Fournette had 22 touches for 127 total yards. Ole Miss, Henry 28 total touches for 168 yards, compared to Fournette's 29 touches for 180 total yards. I bet every running back would love to slip like that, what do you say SDS ??? I also noticed with all of this yardage talk you had to say about the Alabama backs that you failed to mention that Fournette is already sitting at 3,000 rushing yards in only 2 seasons, barring injuries next season Fournette will become only the 8th back in the history of the SEC to have 4,000 rushing yards in a career, and just in case if you're wondering, Alabama has 0 running backs to accomplish that. Then you also have this other little thing that Fournette has a very good chance at next year, you know what that is SDS ??! I'm sure that you don't because you all have your heads to far up Alabama's ass to know about anything else going on, so I guess I will tell you. 2,200 more rushing yards and Mr. Fournette will have Herschel Walker's all-time SEC rushing record, he had 2,000 this year and played 1 less game than what everybody else played. The 7 SEC players to rush for 4,000 yards in their career are, Herschel Walker of Georgia, Bo Jackson of Auburn, Darren McFadden of Arkansas, Errict Rhett of Florida, and last but difinetly not least, Charles Alexanber, Dalton Hilliard & Kevin Faulk of LSU. After next year there will be 8 of them to do it. 4 out of the 8 will be LSU Tigers, not to bad, right SDS ??? Half of the running backs in the history of the SEC to ever eclipse 4,000 rushing yards in a career are LSU Tigers.
A lot of this is just crazy talk. MSU is a charter member of the SEC, they're not going anywhere's nor should they. They have already been to Atlanta and played in the SEC championship game, Ole Miss can say that. Their facilities are not on par with LSU's, Alabama's, Texas A&M's & Auburn's out of the west, true but very few across the country are, LSU's, Alabama's & Texas A&M's are all in the top 10 in the country, but they are on par with Ole Miss's, Arkansas's, Vandy's, Kentucky's, Mizzou's and a lot of others across the country. Although in his last couple of years at MSU his teams fell off some, but in the mid to late 90's Jackie Sherrill put some pretty damn good football teams on the field at MSU. Plus the fact that we all have learned through the years that stars mean nothing, for instance just the other night we all watched a 5* Alabama freshmen corner get ate up all game long by a walk-on freshmen receiver from Clemson. Mullen will do & be just fine at MSU.
Oh and I forgot to mention the fact that Texas Tech had negative rushing yards against LSU's front in that game as well.
Well that would be because the LSU D-line stayed in the backfield all game long, Alabama's didn't do that and if you don't believe me, well than just and look at the number of sacks, hurries and tackles for a loss LSU's front had compared to what Alabama's had in their game. Plus the fact that the offense LSU played against was a far superior offense, than the one Alabama played against. I notice that you didn't say a word about the Alabama o-line being picked over LSU's or Arkansas's o-line, why not ??? You know since Mr. Heisman didn't have but 70 yards rushing on 20 carries against Michigan St. and the fact that Michigan St.'s defense got lit up like a Christmas tree several times this year by other teams running games, but not by Alabama's. While the LSU & Arkansas o-lines paved the way for Fournette to rush for over 200 yards and for Collins to rush for something like 170 or 180 yards or so. Just wondering why you would fail to mention that ???? Then your comment about picking the LB from Mizzou over the SEC defensive player on the year Reggie Ragland. Well first off they didn't pick the LB from Mizzou over anybody since Mizzou didn't even play in a bowl game this year, but if you want to know truth about it, the LB from Mizzou should have been the SEC defensive player of the year over Ragland, you know since his numbers were so much better than what Ragland's were. I'm dimply shocked you're not crying about Henry not being on this list, you know with his big bad 70 yards. Oh and I would have Chad Kelly as the other QB on this list over Jake Coker.
1964 is without a doubt Arkansas. Arkansas was undefeatedj that year and beat Texas. Alabama had a loss that year and it was to Texas. Makes perfect sense, right ???? It was also after the 64 season that Alabama was responsible for the first of two times a major poll changed how they awarded their national championship. After Alabama loss their bowl game that year the AP poll changed and started awarding their national championship after the bowl games. Alabama was also responsible for the coaches poll changing to after the bowl games to award their national championship because of Alabama losing their bowl game at the end of the 1973 season. Alabama and Notre Dame both claim the 1973 national championship, but the problem is Notre Dame was undefeated that year, while Alabama had a loss, and that loss was to Notre Dame. 1978 anyone ??? Why not we're on a roll here. In 1978 Alabama & USC both claim the national championship for that year, but once again we have a little problem, both teams had 1 loss that year, but Alabama's was to USC. Nobody awarded Alabama national championships in the years of 1925,26,30,34 & 41, the Alabama sports information director in the late 80's just starting claiming those all on his own, based off of a math formula somebody came up with 50 years after the fact and said this is who we think would have won the national championship in all of these early years. That same formula also awarded LSU national championships in 1908,35 & 36. Auburn in 1913 &15. Georgia in 1920 & 27, but you don't see none of those schools claiming that back dated mess, do you ???? The actual truth is Alabama doesn't have but 4 national championships that are not shared in some way with another school. 1979,1992,2009 & 2012, and trust me, I know what I'm talking about, even 2011 is a shared title with LSU. It is kinda funny that Alabama claims national championships for 1964 & 1973 because they were awarded to them before they got beat in their bowl game, then they claim 2011 because they got a second chance and won the postseason game, don't know about y'all but that looks like a little double dripping going on there, wouldn't you say ???? Then gonna question somebody about a national championship, what joke, but in case you want to know the actual truth about them. The true number of national championships in football for every FBS school is a tie with all of them having 0 NCAA recognized national championships in football, why ??? Well that's because the NCAA doesn't recognize a national champion in FBS football, never has. That's why everything you see about a national championship in FBS football always says claimed and not won. You will never find an FBS football national championship trophy that has NCAA anywhere's on it, unlike the ones for basketball, baseball and other sports.

In the 2011 season LSU played and beat more ranked teams that year than any team in the history of college football in one season. They played 4 games that year against teams that were ranked #3 are higher when the game was played. Most teams won't play that many games against top 3 ranked teams in 10 years or so, much less 1 year. The two games that LSU & Alabama played against each other that year are the #1 & #2 ranked games in the history of college football as far as games played that had the most players to get drafted by the NFL. The #3 ranked game on that list is the 2007 LSU & Florida game.
I have no problem with Alabama playing LSU in the championship game. There is no doubt what so ever that those were the 2 best teams that year. In all of my years of watching and following college football I have never seen a year where two teams were just that much better than everybody else, because they clearly where. The defenses that those two teams had that year were not just considered good, but historically good. Alabama finished the season with the #1 ranked defense in the country and LSU at #2, but LSU finished the season with the #1 ranked defense in SEC play that year and Alabama finished as the #2 defense in SEC play. LSU was still voted as the National Champions that year by several polls, as they should have been and if any LSU fan wants to claim 2011 as a national championship year for LSU, well they have all the right in the world to as there are over 30 outlets that award a national championship in FBS football with none being anymore credible than the others. After all FBS football national championships are not recognized by the NCAA anyhow and the two teams went 1-1 against each other that year. The problem I do have about that year was how Alabama got in that game, if this would not have happened you would never hear me say a word, because like I said they were the two best teams and LSU was still voted as the national champions by a lot of polls that year. For a couple or so weeks straight all of the coaches poll voters had Oklahoma St. ranked in the same place. The 2nd to last vote that the coaches poll had that year, the one that would help determine who would play in the championship game, for some unknown reason Saban drops Oklahoma St. two spots on his ballot from where he had been putting them for the last couple of weeks or so. He also was the only voter to do so. Now remember that all of the voters ballots for the last few weeks of the season are made public, no hiding what you did on your ballot. By Saban dropping Oklahoma St. those two spots it allowed Alabama to get into the championship game over Oklahoma St. by the closest margin in the history of the BSC between the #2 & #3 ranked teams 0.0072 percentage points. It is known that if he doesn't do that, that Oklahoma St. plays in the championship game over Alabama. The problem I have with it is the fact that he abused his privilege as a coaches poll voter to gain an unfair advantage for his team over another team, now that I have a problem with, that's just flat out wrong. I guess things like that happening is the reason why the NCAA doesn't recognize a national champion in FBS football, the only major sport that they don't, they even recognize a national champion in FCS football, but not FBS football.
I have no problem with Alabama playing LSU in the championship game. There is no doubt what so ever that those were the 2 best teams that year. In all of my years of watching and following college football I have never seen a year where two teams were just that much better than everybody else, because they clearly where. The defenses that those two teams had that year were not just considered good, but historically good. Alabama finished the season with the #1 ranked defense in the country and LSU at #2, but LSU finished the season with the #1 ranked defense in SEC play that year and Alabama finished as the #2 defense in SEC play. LSU was still voted as the National Champions that year by several polls, as they should have been and if any LSU fan wants to claim 2011 as a national championship year for LSU, well they have all the right in the world to as there are over 30 outlets that award a national championship in FBS football with none being anymore credible than the others. After all FBS football national championships are not recognized by the NCAA anyhow and the two teams went 1-1 against each other that year. The problem I do have about that year was how Alabama got in that game, if this would not have happened you would never hear me say a word, because like I said they were the two best teams and LSU was still voted as the national champions by a lot of polls that year. For a couple or so weeks straight all of the coaches poll voters had Oklahoma St. ranked in the same place. The 2nd to last vote that the coaches poll had that year, the one that would help determine who would play in the championship game, for some unknown reason Saban drops Oklahoma St. two spots on his ballot from where he had been putting them for the last couple of weeks or so. He also was the only voter to do so. Now remember that all of the voters ballots for the last few weeks of the season are made public, no hiding what you did on your ballot.

Derrick Henry may have won the Heisman, but Fournette is still the best back in not just the SEC but in the country. Don't let any of Henry's family hear you say that though, because they just might send you some messages cussing you, calling you a little white clown, saying things like I pray to God that he brings your family negativity in life, call your wife a tramp and say you know that she wants some of his black meat and such because that's what all white girls want, then they will end their little rant by telling you that you're classless. REALLY, classless they said, yeah I think it shows whose the ones that classless. All because I said Leonard Fournette was the better back of the two, and just think everybody on TV and such was just going on & on about how classy of a family he comes from, right ??? What a joke. Oh and their names are Stacey Y Henry Johnson & Latrease Henry -Terry, that's some classless trash right there.
Oh and I almost forgot, no need to talk to bad about Mike Price. He might not have been the Alabama coach for very long, but it sure looks like he had fun being it, even for no longer than it lasted.
Well you can what if just about any and everything, but the only thing we know for certain, is the fact that none of us has a clue as to what might have happened. You can spin it a 100 different ways if you wanted to, but since we're what if' let's have a little fun with it. What if LSU never hires Saban as their head coach ???? Does anybody really even know who he is if they don't ??? I mean less be honest about, Saban wasn't exactly a household name at that time. Remember he wasn't but just a handfull of games over .500 as the head coach of Michigan St. and he had a blowout loss in a bowl game, against the coach he replaced at LSU, Gerry DiNardo. That could have very well been a determining factor for LSU to not hire Nick Saban as their head coach. Now my question is, if LSU would've used that as a reason to not hire Nick Saban as their head coach. Would Nick Saban be the Nick Saban that we all know today or would he still be the Nick Saban that was only a handfull of games over .500 as a head coach ???? Remember you can be a great coach, but you're still gonna need elite talent to win consistently in major college football. I mean let's be honest, LSU is where people become to know who Nick Saban was. If LSU doesn't hire Nick Saban because his team Michigan St. got blew out by a Gerry DiNardo coached LSU team in a bowl game, the same guy LSU fired and replaced with Nick Saban. Things could be a lot different for all involved, all the way down the list to Alabama.
Wrong Bama time, the sugar bowl was played a week before the game that Bama had to win just to be able to split with LSU that year. That would also be the game where the Alabama coach abused his privilege as a coaches poll voter to gain an advantage for his team over another team. For 2 to 3 weeks straight or so toward the end of the 2011 season. All of the coaches poll voters had Oklahoma St. ranked in the same spot. On the 2nd to last coaches poll vote of the season, the one that would be used to help determine who would play in the BSC Championship game, for some odd reason the Alabama coach dropped Oklahoma St. two spots on his ballot from where he was ranking them the prior 2 to 3 weeks straight. The Alabama coach was the only voter to do so, as all the other voters still had Oklahoma St. ranked in the same spot as their prior 2 to 3 votes. The Alabama coach was able to get his team in the BCS Championship game over Oklahoma St., by doing so with the closest margin in the history of the BCS between the number 2 & 3 teams 0.0072 point difference. AWww that little Tricky Nickey, isn't he quite the prankster. I guess things like that happening is the reason why the NCAA doesn't award or recognize a national champion in FBS football, all FBS football programs are tied with 0 NCAA recognized national championships in football. What a shame, right Bama fans ????
I really question some of you so-called LSU fans football IQ. You're not LSU fans, you're Les Miles fans. Open your eyes up as to where you can see the real problem. Les Miles and his staff didn't develop Z.Mettenburger, he was developed when he came to LSU. It's a little ironic that every QB that was named as being good under Miles all had prior college coaching before Miles. The only good passing teams that Miles has had at LSU were in the years of 2005,06,07,12&13. The years of 2005,06&07 were with J.Russell & M.Flynn, both played under Saban & Fisher before Miles. The years of 2012&13 were with Z.Mettenburger, he played under Richt at UGA and Juco ball before Miles. Just a coincidence???? I think not. Some of y'all saying Harris will be better next year, people I hate to break it to you, but Harris isn't getting any better. Name me one player that has improved under Miles from year 1 to year 3 or 4 ????? What you see now with this team and players is exactly what you will see next year. Miles has had several different OC's at LSU with everyone of them running different offenses before coming to LSU, but after coming to LSU they all have used the same offense, Les Miles's offense. He's not changing anything people, trust me when I say it will be the same next year with the offense. Former OC Gary Crowton left LSU to go to Maryland for the same position. After getting there one of the local newspapers interview him. He was asked about leaving LSU to come to Maryland and as to why he left. His reply to the question was, I received a lot of unjust criticism about the offense down there. It wasn't me, I tried to open the offense up some with some different things, but Coach Miles refused to let me do it. Crowton went on to say, Coach Miles absolutely 100% dictated what we did on offense. Such a shame to have all that talent out wide, but can't use it to help win football games. I hate to break it to you Miles lovers, but that man is terrible as a coach. Will never forget what Russell Shepherd said a couple of days after the 2011 national championship game, he said we ran the same 5 plays the whole game. What a joke, that's terrible, 5 plays is that the best that idiot can do???? Probably so, just look at who he hired to be his OC & DC, I mean it's not like the both of them have ever been fired from those positions before because they were terrible at it, right?????
Yeah but Henry had what was it 46 or 48 carries against Auburn and played the whole game, while LF only had 19 carries and really didn't play in the 2nd half against Auburn. LF had 150 something against South Carolina and again didn't play in the 2nd half, as his back up had 160 in the 2nd half against South Carolina. He also didn't have the number of carries against Ole Miss and Ark. that Henry had, as LF had less in both games, but he still had more total yards against Ole Miss and Ark. both than Henry had because of receiving yards in those games. Now of course they don't count but LF also had 130 yards and 2 TD'S against Miss.St. called back because of two penalties that did not affect on the play, as both were for not having enough men on the line ( receiver lined up off the line when he should have been on the line). LF also had around 50 yards called back against A&M for similar type penalties, plus 43 yards receiving. People say Henry had limited carries against ULM, well LF had limited carries against Ole Miss & Ark. because of getting behind big early in those games. Henry had 14 carries for 52 yards against ULM, LF had 19 carries for 31 yards against Bama. Now 14 carries vs 19 carries is still 14 vs 19 no matter how much time was played in a game, not much difference between 14 and 19 or 31 and 52, but the big difference is LF's worse game was against Bama, while Henry's was against ULM. In the end it all comes down to this, LF finished the season with 1950 total yards compared to Henry's 1894 total yards, while playing 1 less game than Henry played.
Just like LSU is actually fighting tigers. Named after a civil war regiment of Louisiana soldiers that were called the Louisiana fighting tigers. Not named after the animal.
A lot of Bama's ( CLAIMS ) are seriously flawed. Just out of the blue one day back in the last 80's the A.D. wakes up and says we are going to start ( key word ) CLAIMING 6 more N.C.'s in football with all having no real justification to be ( here we go again ) CLAIMED. One of those was a team that went 6-4 on the season. LSU, AU, UGA and TENN all have unclaimed N.C. That are way more legit and probably should be claimed by the schools, than most of the ones Bama claim. As LSU has an additional 5 unclaimed titles with all being very, very legit and should be claimed by the school. Plus should claim 2011 if BAMA'S gonna claim '73, since there's absolutely no difference in the two. Yes BAMA also claims several flawed sec championship, just as the AU fan stated, 1933 LSU is undefeated on the season but ALABAMA claims the sec championship that year and that's just one example of many. Bama boys your numbers aren't exactly what you think they are, all the way up to your overall. ( that word again ) CLAIMED win total.
BamaTime, although the 90's were the worst decade in LSU football history, they still were a five hundred team and outside of '91 & '92, Bama wasn't much better, with LSU's '96 & ' 97 seasons being just a little bit worse than Bama's '91 & '92 seasons. Yes they were one and nine against Florida which is the only reason Florida leads the overall series by a couple wins, is because of the 90's. While LSU was getting beat by Florida throughout the 90's, Bama was getting the same thing from Tennessee, while Florida was whopping Tennessee throughout the 90's. The fact is everybody in the sec was florida's whipping boys throughout the 90's. Spurrier's teams rewrote the sec history books throughout the 90's, everything from most wins in a decade, passing yards in a season, most points scored in a season to most consecutive sec championships. The only thing that saved Bama is the simple fact that they didn't have to play them every year. With one of the biggest reasons of what happened to LSU in the 90's was the fact the school became way more focused on the baseball program at that time, which was quite successful, with 4 national championships. What's Bama's excuse for being no better than what they were through out the '90's, Probation, maybe? But while we're talking about it, there is another thing that bothers me about Bama fans, it's the fact "that they always want to talk about how many games they have won." I'm gonna give you a little example of some of the combination of non-conference games LSU has played, not counting the bowl games in a season, while ALABAMA was playing UAB and Troy. I guess it's as they say the numbers don't always tell the whole truth. 1. Colorado, USC, FSU 2. FSU Kansas St., Colorado 3. Notre Dame, Oregon St., FSU 4. Oregon St., South Carolina, FSU 5. FSU, Washington, South Carolina 6. USC, Notre Dame 7. A&M, UNC, Notre Dame 8. A&M, Ohio State, Miami. That's just a small sampling, don't ever recall Bama playing a non-conference schedule like that.

Sorry not Auburn, but Georgia. Got to typing and put auburn instead of Georgia but auburn is widely considered the first team out.
I would like to see one that shows the overall combined win % of teams they have played. Let's see who had the hardest road to achieve those all time wins & win %'s. Plus show overall games played. Need to drop the 4 ivy schools. They were early D-1A powers then dropped to D-1AA. They won a lot of games against over matched teams early on after making that move. If a lot of the other schools on this list would have done that their win totals would be greatly improved. Point is you want to be on the list with the big boys, well you should have played with the big boys the whole time. It is widely known and generally accepted by most sports media outlets that the greatest college football programs in the history of football as in a class of their own is ALABAMA, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, USC and Notre Dame, these programs are considered the most notable in the history of college football.
