Georgia win was the bigger win. Clemson wasn’t on the map yet. They were having their best season in maybe program history but they were still “Clemson” who wasn’t relevant although that beat down got Dabo the head coaching job
Nick Saban's most important win at Alabama to me is one most people seem to forget about. It was the 2007 game against Arkansas. Arkansas had Darren McFadden then and they were heavily favored to win. By all metrics, they had the better team. Alabama capitalized on Arkansas mistakes and led 31-10 in the third quarter, but then Arkansas settled down and took over, coming back to take a 38-31 lead with 5 or so minutes left. Watching this game, I couldn't help but think that this looked awfully similar to all of the blown leads, near misses, and heartbreaks of the Shula era. But then, Alabama, when they would have just laid down and given up in the previous 4 years, actually showed a pulse for a change, fought back and won 41-38 in dramatic fashion with a late TD. To this day, I don't remember a game with more energy than that one and, to me, it set the tone for the Saban era, even if it ultimately didn't mean much in the long term.
#1 better be 2009 SEC Championship Game against Florida because that's the game that launched the empire. Tua's 2nd & 26 was the most thrilling finish, but Tim Tebow crying on the sideline was the most important moment that told everyone the Saban dynasty had arrived in Tuscaloosa. That game was the line of demarcation.
I watched that game with friend of mine who is a Florida fan. He gave me so much shit for an entire year after the 2008 SECC. I dont think I've ever took more pleasure in rubbing it in someone's face, as I did that entire game.
Tebow knew as did urban alabama was now in charge of the sec Urban knew if we could beat them with tebow he would never win without him suddenly his health went south lol he cut and ran. Then healed fast to go to ohio st where there is little competition during regular season.
@Britton. You're totally F of S. Why college football historians will look at 2009 and laugh. 1) 2 times in the future, Saban would present his SABAN BYPASS THE SECC card. FL/Meyer were #1 before AL. Why didn't he get to present his BYPASS card and play TX. It did FL absolutely no good to play that game. I'm sure, you, being a man of integrity, would agree. 2) The 2009 TN game. Watch the last 4 secs and listen to what Danielson says then watch again closely. As Cody comes past the QB, lower right, he already has his helmet off while the ball is sitting to the left untouched. You will never see a clearer penalty. Clear from the perspective, see the player's exposed dreads (no helmet) and the ball yds away from any players. Recap: TN, 3 missed FGS from 43, 44, 47. Made from 24. A rekick would have been 29. 3) How many times in 2022 have we seen Saban run on about Bryce and the team's inabilities being tied to his injury? How many times did we see him mention COLT being injured 6 plays into the NC game? A 2700 yd passer replaced by 124 yd passer WHO turned it over 5 times in the NC game (4 int, 1 fumble). 2009 was a farce.
2009. What, it takes the greatest ever 3 years to get a NC? Chizik says, hold my beer, I got er done in 2. Make the argument that Tuberville's last season was better than Shula's. Go ahead, then look both up.
2012 bama LSU has to be in the top 10, it just has to be. I’ve never felt my team get outplayed to that degree in a good long while, and to somehow put something special together at the end in a game we ABSOLUTELY had to have (or it would have been LSU vs Georgia in the SECCG) in a night game in tiger stadium, where only one team at that time (no. 1 florida) had won since les miles had been there was something that will always stick with me for a long time.
Without a doubt it's the 2009 SEC championship game against Florida. That's where the dynasty started. Alabama, #1, had just lost the previous year in 2008 to Florida. In 2009, Florida was ranked #1 and l didn't think Alabama would win. But Alabama dominated Florida. Alabama hasn't lost to Florida since. Roll Tide Roll!
Absolutely. I was at that game. (My only one.) Walking into the stadium we found out that Arkansas had beaten Ole Miss, so this game would put the winner in prime position for a playoff spot-and it did. I asked my cousin, who has been to every game for decades, if that was the loudest she had ever heard the crowd. She said that only the time she remembered it being louder was the 2014 Auburn game where Bama came back in the second half to win 55-44.
I get SO SICK of the media talking about poor osu being "without a number of guys." Why don't you ever mention how many "guys" Bama was down in that game? Landon Dickerson - gone. Malachi Moore - gone Emil Ekiyor - gone Jordan Battle - gone in 2nd qtr Devonta second half - gone Give me a break. Osu had ample opportunity to make it a game. 🤦♂️ That were just OUT MATCHED.
Yeah we need to work on our secondary badly. We were completely outmatched and beat down by the better team but it happens so I’m not gonna lose sleep over it. Hopefully our players have learned and Day has fired and gotten some new assistants and our defense. I’m hoping for some elite quarterback play next season.
As an Alabama fan. I never thought about what if Colt didn’t get hurt. Players get hurt, it’s part of the game. Every team has a what if game. next time don’t run your best player in a brick wall, might make it to the end of the game.
What I find tiresome is how no one acknowledge that Alabama’s qb had cracked ribs during the game also but no one ever acknowledges that it’s just “muh Colt was hurt” also people forget that Texas barely beat Oklahoma that year when Sam Bradford (the previous years Heisman) was out for the season. But i guess injuries only matter when they happen to Texas *rolls eyes*.
I never heard bama say that after tua went down champs say next man up,if we lose were were not good enough to win. Great teams have depth. Adjust and move forward.
Colt was not on defense and we scored more so blame defense, backup qb did pretty hood and if one player costs you title you need to learn what depth means,
The most memorable thing about #9, the 2015 beat down against Georgia, is that it was, and still is to this day, the only time the Tide has been an underdog, since the 2009 SEC Championship Game. That’s the most amazing, unbelievable statistic of the entire Saban Dynasty, in my opinion. I don’t think it gets talked about enough, considering just how truly amazing it is. The last time Bama lost as an underdog was 2008. That’s just plain crazy.
I saw a statistic earlier in the year that noted that every recruit Saban has brought to Alabama has won at least one national title. That's recruiting material right there.
What is a lot more telling and I have only done this for LSU so far. Saban was 9-11* against teams that finished with 9 wins. When he met very good teams at LSU, he lost most. Beating a ton of 1st coaches and sorry teams means jack. * not finely checked yet.
@@CoachRJ334 Yes he did. That was probably his only injury that wasn't the result of holding the ball too long. That is why I rank Mac Jones ahead of Tua due to durability. But it was great for Jalen Hurts to get that moment. It really cemented him as Bama legend.
The blackout game . Georgia was full of NFL players and Bama beat the brakes off of the Dawgs ! Still smile when I think of Scott Cochran saying their going to their own funeral ! Lol😂
Josh your show is the best sports content and your delivery is the best I've ever listen to. How your not on espn fox sports is unbelievable! I'm just so amazed your still here bringing it everyday ! Thanks brother for making my day most everyday! You are the MAN!!!!!
The '15 trip to Athens was also following a 2nd straight loss to Ole Miss a few weeks prior. The storyline of dead dynasty was brewing again, and we went out and said "not today!"
My personal favorite is the most recent beatdown of Ohio St. Having to endure 6 years of trolling by their fans about how that one win in 2014 somehow made them Alabama's equal, made that win all the sweeter. The beating we gave UGA in 2015 after all their chatter on the way out to the field was great. The Notre Dame beatdown was alot of fun, and the revenge Natty against LSU is up there as well.
@@Blayze1017 I had a good many of those as well, and it didn't matter that Alabama has won 6 NCs in 12 years....somehow one 7 point win over one of our weaker teams and one Natty changed everything for them. The fact that it was an emphatic beat down really got the point across
As a lifelong Tuscaloosa resident and Alabama fanatic, I say with great certainty that the '09 Tenn game, when Cody blocked the FG (his 2nd block of the 4th qtr btw, no one remembers the first one) that is absolutely the LOUDEST Bryant-Denney has EVER been.
the loudest on a play that should have been called back. It's right there. Take a look. Gary Danielson caught it. As Cody comes past the QB, lower right, he already has his helmet off while the ball is sitting to the left untouched. You will never see a clearer penalty. Clear from the perspective, see the player's exposed dreads (no helmet) and the ball yds away from any players. Recap: TN, 3 missed FGS from 43, 44, 47. Made from 24. A rekick would have been 29. Another Saban Entitlement.
Dude, the 2018 Nattie and then SEC the following year, I have never been so distraught at half and then ecstatic at the end. Also, the freaking redemption for jalen
As a UGA fan, watching this segment was like getting punched in the stomach over and over again. No question Saban is the best ever, it’s just demoralizing to realize you can’t even win your own conference without getting past him.
Hey you guys fight at least your qb did not cry like tebow lol priceless for bama. Major embarrassment for gator nation. We mad their god cry like a 5 yr old girl.
I respect GA, you guys have been there a lot lately so don't feel bad you lose sometimes. Imagine being a SC or TN fan and not having the chance to win a Natty recently.
Definitely.....2015 was a very underrated game. Like you said....Coker and Stewart hooked up a couple of times on 3rd down late in the 4th, and Henry took it home with a TD run with like 2 minutes left. AShawn and Reed get home for a sack to hold on to the win......great game
@@keithconnell8460 I don't know why people think it saved Alabama's season. It saved the perfect season, but even if Alabama loses that game, and still blasts Florida and is a 1 loss SEC champion, they still would have gone to the NCG
@@darthsaban8665 possibly, but an undefeated Cincy or TCU, ranked 3, 4 at the end, might have stolen the #2 spot if bama had lost to Ten (probably would have, so it did in fact save the season)
Fun fact - Bama vs Georgia, 2015? The only game since the 2010 that Alabama was an underdog. Georgia opened as a 2 point favorite. Also Josh said Florida was more than a TD favorite vs Bama in the 2009 SEC Title game, actually Florida opened as anywhere from a 3-5.5 favorite. I think he got it mixed up with 2008 where the Gators were a 9 point favorite. Honorable mention game. 2008 Bama vs Clemson. Alabama 35 Clemson 10. This was the game that let that team know they were pretty good. The Georgia game cemented it.
Every team that plays Bama, they bring their A game and they play their best game ever! Yet many come up short, nevertheless Bama gets everyone’s best shot!
Would I bring everything against lesser opponents in hoping of making some bowl or kill myself against an AL type and get all banked up for other games?
Surprised the 2012 natty wasn't included as I vividly remember hear non stop chatter about how ND and Teo would show up and beat bama. I've never seen ND the same since. Including their later playoff appearance and defeat to bama
@@doc8013 was thinking the same thing. Most thought it would be closer and I heard a lot of “ND has a legit great defense” (had given up zero rushing td’s that year prior to) but thinking ND would win?? Didn’t hear much of that
@@beniveyv7849 back up did pretty good your defense gave up points not colt, and if one player loses title you and staff need to figure out depth. Uga stuffed hurts in title game tua true freshman came in and whipped them, on plays to other true freshmen, champions have great backups
I'm not saying it should be given the games that are on the list, but 2014 Mississippi State isn't even on the radar. Think about that, at most places stopping a #1 team with a top Heisman contender cold would be an all-time classic moment. Nick Saban's Bama just views it as another Saturday.
Josh you are good at this stuff next show do list of teams Saban broke. You know like texas,broke them in NC game never to compete for title since. How many programs and coaches have Saban and bama made irrelevant after us beating them
Cannot argue with that list. Josh knows more about college football than all of espn college guys combined. I would only add 1a ohio st whipping not because of anything but it was Saban's 7th title now the most by any coach and 6 at bama matching Bear. The next one will be 7 at bama and 8 overall making any talk of anyone being the best other than Saban a list arguement before it starts This will be history I may never see broken in my lifetime. ROLL TIDE. The only thing left is will it be e 2021 or later? Let the crazy responses begin. Gimme your best shot haters, i got facts history, and the football gods on my side, like bama will say,gimme ya best shot.😁🐘
Josh, Love your analysis it's always amazing but I have to disagree with with one of your analyses. It's regarding the 2012 SEC Championship game, and this is coming from a life long Bama fan going back to the 1970s, all those callers about saying running out of time were pretty accurate. I was at that game and remember the sequence of events and that loss falls squarely on the shoulders of Mark Richt and him making a poor decision before the final play. Murray had just completed a long pass that got UGA to the 6 yard line and as UGA was hustling down the field Murray was looking at the UGA sideline and motioning to spike the ball and stop the clock. Richt waved that off and UGA rushed the next play, resulting in an INT and the Bama victory. Richt straight up blew the call and cost UGA their Natty. Bama wasn't slowing UGA down and if UGA had taken the time to spike the ball and call a play UGA would finally have a second NC.
Why does this channel just blow bama 24/7 now? Ratings? I understand it’s off season and you gotta come up with something to talk bout but Jesus dude there’s plenty of other teams to talk about
Took me less than a minute to count the last 50 videos we’ve published on this channel...TWO are about Alabama (with one of those being the most viewed video we’ve ever had.) You wanna explain to me what you’re talking about? - JP
Easy, that was the year every single team that got the #2 spot after Alabama lost to LSU lost themselves every subsequent weekend an naturally Bama ended up back at the #2 spot. It was one of the weirdest years of college football I personally had seen.
Why not have a list of the weakest opponents Nick Saban has ever scheduled? I mean he's the only head coach who assiduously avoids playing anyone tough out of conference.
@@paulrollings5291 He has successfully maintained a NFL roster spot for over a decade. Thats a lot more than most great college QBs can say. Part of why Texas would have defeated Bama if Colt didn't get hurt is not only that Colt was Elite, but that his backup was a freshman who committed 4 turnovers in the game and Texas was still down by only 3 with 2 minutes left in the game. It's pretty obvious. But Bama won so congrats.
Yeah Bama’s qb had cracked ribs and Texas may not have even made it to the title game if Sam Bradford hadn’t been hurt. Oh I forgot. Injuries only count when they happen to Texas.

Vs Clemson in 08. More important than people remember
We put all of college football on notice that night. We were coming....
Was at the game. Pandemonium, so loud and the loudest SEC chants leaving the building
The beginning of the dynasty
Georgia win was the bigger win. Clemson wasn’t on the map yet. They were having their best season in maybe program history but they were still “Clemson” who wasn’t relevant although that beat down got Dabo the head coaching job

Nick Saban's most important win at Alabama to me is one most people seem to forget about. It was the 2007 game against Arkansas.

@@doc8013 was thinking the same thing. Most thought it would be closer and I heard a lot of “ND has a legit great defense” (had given up zero rushing td’s that year prior to) but thinking ND would win?? Didn’t hear much of that
@@savagesouth1806 yeah, same. I remember talk about how good their front line and Manti Te'o was. Turns out they were overvaluing their skill set lol.
You said 41 - 17 and immediately I think "hmm could this be UT 2007? I went to that game with my dad and that onside kick to start off was crazy."
Fulmer got routed 3 times that year. Beat Vandy by 1, and KY by 2. TN fans knew they were in trouble.
This year meant S!
I honestly think the Bama vs Virginia Tech game set Bama on their path. First game, first championship.
I don't give a sh!t about Bama
... but even I recognize that there isn't enough time in the day to rank all of Saban's big wins 🤷🏽♂️
Maybe they could do most important loses for Michigan next 😂
That would take months so many to go through lol
I the 2013 Texas A&M vs Alabama should be higher
I 100% believe if colt didn’t get hurt Texas would have won
Nah
You can believe whatever you want to. Bama spanked that cows ass. Roll Tide 🏆😍
Yeah cause he was doing so great at that point champions have depth and back up plans.
@@RT22-pb2pp it was the first offensive drive of the game and we had been marching it down the field
@@beniveyv7849 back up did pretty good your defense gave up points not colt, and if one player loses title you and staff need to figure out depth. Uga stuffed hurts in title game tua true freshman came in and whipped them, on plays to other true freshmen, champions have great backups
I'm not saying it should be given the games that are on the list, but 2014 Mississippi State isn't even on the radar. Think about that, at most places stopping a #1 team with a top Heisman contender cold would be an all-time classic moment. Nick Saban's Bama just views it as another Saturday.
Agreed......and if we're being honest, 2014 wasn't one of Saban's better teams.
About that? What happened to Colt? News flash: Colt was not that good and Bama was just better!
Josh you are good at this stuff next show do list of teams Saban broke. You know like texas,broke them in NC game never to compete for title since. How many programs and coaches have Saban and bama made irrelevant after us beating them
Cannot argue with that list. Josh knows more about college football than all of espn college guys combined. I would only add 1a ohio st whipping not because of anything but it was Saban's 7th title now the most by any coach and 6 at bama matching Bear. The next one will be 7 at bama and 8 overall making any talk of anyone being the best other than Saban a list arguement before it starts
This will be history I may never see broken in my lifetime. ROLL TIDE. The only thing left is will it be e 2021 or later? Let the crazy responses begin. Gimme your best shot haters, i got facts history, and the football gods on my side, like bama will say,gimme ya best shot.😁🐘
Huh? That was on the list.
News flash! Nick Saban wins games!!! Whoa!
How many times since the 09 Florida game; has Alabama not been favored to win a game?
Once. 2015 @ UGA
2008 Clemson is at least an honorable mention
If it hadn't been for sleep, Georgia might have won three or four Natties in the last 10 years or so
The championship game against Georgia, and the last sec championship against Georgia. If he lost both of them then he would of quit.
Alabama the toyota camry of college football, not always the sexiest but most times they start and run to the final destination.
Weak analogy.
Josh,
Love your analysis it's always amazing but I have to disagree with with one of your analyses. It's regarding the 2012 SEC Championship game, and this is coming from a life long Bama fan going back to the 1970s, all those callers about saying running out of time were pretty accurate. I was at that game and remember the sequence of events and that loss falls squarely on the shoulders of Mark Richt and him making a poor decision before the final play. Murray had just completed a long pass that got UGA to the 6 yard line and as UGA was hustling down the field Murray was looking at the UGA sideline and motioning to spike the ball and stop the clock. Richt waved that off and UGA rushed the next play, resulting in an INT and the Bama victory. Richt straight up blew the call and cost UGA their Natty. Bama wasn't slowing UGA down and if UGA had taken the time to spike the ball and call a play UGA would finally have a second NC.
Why does this channel just blow bama 24/7 now? Ratings? I understand it’s off season and you gotta come up with something to talk bout but Jesus dude there’s plenty of other teams to talk about
Took me less than a minute to count the last 50 videos we’ve published on this channel...TWO are about Alabama (with one of those being the most viewed video we’ve ever had.) You wanna explain to me what you’re talking about? - JP
They take about other teams Ohio state. Florida. LSU. Texas. Tennessee. A&M. Clemson. Probably forgot some he mentioned.
@@JoshPateCFB Josh, don't sweat that dude. Haters gonna hate. Everyone knows you give cred out to all around the league.
My #1 game would be the 2009 season win for Alabama over Texas. Hard to get respect or start a dynasty without that first National Championship.
RTR~~~
Florida will beat them this year. Emory is gonna go off. Uhhhhh 09 sec championship started Saban mega train
Yeah right. Florida gonna get clapped! Alabama 51-21
Still don’t know how you beat a team in the regular season and play them for the national title
Cause they were the second best team in the nation, why would we play lesser teams for title
Easy, that was the year every single team that got the #2 spot after Alabama lost to LSU lost themselves every subsequent weekend an naturally Bama ended up back at the #2 spot. It was one of the weirdest years of college football I personally had seen.
Why not have a list of the weakest opponents Nick Saban has ever scheduled? I mean he's the only head coach who assiduously avoids playing anyone tough out of conference.
Yeah this is completely false. - JP
Lol
Enjoy Bama fans. It's been a legendary run.
But if Colt hadn't gotten hurt yall would have 1 less NC.
Where o where has little Colt gone? He wasn't up to the hype.
@@paulrollings5291 He has successfully maintained a NFL roster spot for over a decade. Thats a lot more than most great college QBs can say.
Part of why Texas would have defeated Bama if Colt didn't get hurt is not only that Colt was Elite, but that his backup was a freshman who committed 4 turnovers in the game and Texas was still down by only 3 with 2 minutes left in the game.
It's pretty obvious. But Bama won so congrats.
Yeah Bama’s qb had cracked ribs and Texas may not have even made it to the title game if Sam Bradford hadn’t been hurt. Oh I forgot. Injuries only count when they happen to Texas.
@@Peter.Young21 what has he accomplished? Any playoffs,any super bowl wins? I don’t know about elite, only know about guts and next man up. Roll Tide
Lol eady to say but that bama team would have broken his weak ass at some point.
