08:11 AM ET 01.07 | Finally, after more than a month off from playing games, Alabama and Notre Dame will play for a championship. In the past five seasons at Alabama, [Nick Saban] is 60-7 and has won two national championships. He now has a chance to win his third national title in four years and his fourth overall in the BCS era (1998-present). ... And this, in my opinion, is by far his best coaching job in 17 years as a college head coach. He lost seven starters from the No. 1 defense in the nation and six were drafted (three in the first round). Still Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart put together a unit that was No. 1 in total defense, No. 1 in rushing defense, No. 2 (behind Notre Dame) in scoring defense, and No. 4 in pass defense.

I think his best work was getting that powder blue blazer...
Kidding aside, he did field a very good team after losing so many players...

Keeping Kirby Smart was the best thing to happen to Nick.
I speak from the Gator experience of living through the loss of high-performing assistants, and having a dropoff when they move on down the road.

But speaking of that powder blue blazer, if there were a FN Hall of Shame -- errr, I meant Fame -- then that thing would hang in the front window with spotlights on it.

Remember, you need to wear the white leather shoes matched with the superwide white leather belt, too. And plenty of gold chain, gotta have that.

This is a team that came from behind in the FINAL MINUTE to win at LSU, and came from behind TWICE IN THE SECOND HALF to beat Georgia.
They KNOW how to WIN the BIG GAMES.
50-0 when they RUSH for 150yds or more. 50 AND 0 !!!
The train ain't coming off the rails tonight!
ND - Get your medics ready.
WE A COMIN RIGHT ATCHA!!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Just Dad and I went down to the game...Tix were Christmas presents. He took it OK. He's down on Stoops, thinking he's peaked and 10 win seasons are the ceiling. No more NC's.
To be honest, Okie looks a little slow and a litte soft on the front end of the defense compared to the teams they fielded 7-10 years ago.
Still, beating UTx by 100 makes it a good year for him......if only they could figure out a way to play Nebraska every year. He'd be content
