So does this mean Kelly should fire his coordinators

Because they got "outcoached" by Saban with a lot of time to prepare?

Honestly, whenever Nick Saban makes a title game and loses it, it will be like the 1980 US-Soviet hockey game.

That's honestly what I think

That's honestly what I think will happen. They'll get to a point where they see winning a title as a foregone conclusion and nothing special. Then one day, someone will beat them. The Crimson Curtain (see what I did there?) will be torn down, the Bama players will look on at the victors, and remember that's what winning is supposed to look like.

Miracles

I do believe in miracles and Saban reign will come to an end by the hands of: Oregon, Michigan, OSU, USC or some other national power. It would have been much better to see Oregon play tonight than Notre Dame.

 What would be the perfect

 What would be the perfect way for a championship game between Alabama and ND to end up?  I would answer having ND get killed BUT have Alabama act like a bunch of toolbags at the end and start fighting each other.

I tell the line to lay down and let McCarron get blasted. Almost all of them are going to the NFL anyway, so what does it matter if they get the wrath of Saban.

I'm trying to remember what the stakes were in this game.

Doesn't the losing head coach have to take the Cleveland job?

best part of the bcs national championship game

can we all agree that the best part of the game was musbergers comments on A.J. McCarron's girlfriend "You see that lovely lady there, she does go to Auburn, but she's also Miss Alabama and that's A.J. McCarron's girlfriend," he said.

"You quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman. Wow."

I'm so glad Notre Dame got thrashed. They're closer to 'Returning to Glory (R)' but this sure showed they've got a ways to go. Won't have to hear bout too much Notre Dame Koolaid in the season

Also, Alabama seems decidedly unexcited about winning the whole thing

Dropping us from their schedule to load up on ACC powerhouses like Duke and NC State should help.

Honestly, in college where hanging banners of some kind is always the goal, how can ND fans ever be satisfied when the only banner they can ever hang in football is a Natl Championship? Their seasons are doomed to end in disappointment forever.

We outplayed ND by a bit, but for the turnover department,

So, of course, on a southern neutral field, Bama 42 ND 14 is a bit worse than Bama 41 Mich 14

ND had no business playing on this field with Bama and the game proved it. Hopefully a playoff will help to limit curb-stompings of this nature in the future by taking into account SOS, margin of victory, etc, though I doubt it.

Just a thought

and maybe someone else has hashed this out somewhere, but Alabama winning like this has got me thinking about how replicable or not the system they seemingly have is. As far as I can tell, they

1. Recruit very well. This is a necessity for any team to do well at a high level. Note, though, that they do not always have the number 1 recruiting class, so the talent they get is not far and away better than any other team's talent. In 2012, according to Rivals, they had 2621 points, and actually were number 1, whereas number 10, Auburn, had 1951 points. Point being that the difference in talent should not be that extreme. They had 26 recruits, which, while being on the bigger side, is not unheard of, or even that unusual. We had 2132 points and 25 recruits, by way of comparison. Obviously, they've been recruiting like that for longer, so they have the stockpile now.

2. Aggressive roster management. From what I've seen discussed here, Saban won't hesitate to dump a kid that won't be playing. While he may be more heartless than some, I think many coaches probably have some system where they encourage players who aren't working out in their system/cracking the depth chart to go elsewhere where they might.

3. More or less singleminded coaches whose only focus is winning. Maybe the most apt comparison is Coach K, in that he always seems grim and super focused, while never getting emotional. He won't be your friend, but you will win playing under him, and get drafted, so see number 1.

4. A system they want to run, and, you guessed it, the correct personnel. It seems to me that Alabama is built on defense that gives up some yards (and a fairly high number of passing yards), while giving up very few points. This is built on a good defensive line. On offense, my understanding is that they run what we would call MANBALL, with a line that clears space for dominant North-South running backs who don't go down after the first hit.

 

Maybe I'm making nothing out of something, but the plan seems replicable by someone (us?), if we continue to pull in recruiting classes in the top 5 area, are upfront with kids who aren't cracking the depth chart and tell them it might be best to move on if it's not working out, and if we keep up the defense, while molding a more coherent offense, which is possible. I just don't really think we're more than a couple years away from this high of a level, given that we don't have sanctions, are recruiting well, and seemingly have a competent staff, provided Borges gets his system in place, and the players he wants. Thoughts?
