And Oregon has shown that they can be run on and passed on in all of their major bowl games, as well as slowed down. Alabama with a week to prepare beats Oregon by 7-10 points. With a month, 21-28 points.
Alabama couldn't even beat A&M by 28 points but you think they could beat Oregon by that much? This isn't Ole Miss or Vandy we are talking about. Oregon is the real deal. Alabama is very good but I don't think they are as good as they were last year. Just because you were the best in 2012 doesn't mean you are the best in 2013.
Let me present you with some cold hard facts about Alabama's bowl games since the dynasty started in 2009.
Alabama is 4-0 in bowl games since 2009.
Alabama has outscored the opposition 149-42.
Alabama has won by an average score of 37.2-10.5
Alabama's average margin of victory over that span is roughly 26.7 points. (In latter terms, 4 scores)
Alabama has won 3 of the past 4 national championship games.
Alabama has given up 6 TOTAL first half points in that 4 game span.
Alabama has allowed 0 TDs in the first half over that 4 game span.
Alabama has beaten 2 #1 teams by a total of 63-14.
Alabama had at one point 69 unanswered points in BCS Championship games.
Alabama has beaten every opponent by at least 16 points.
Three of Alabama's opponents were undefeated at the time of kickoff.
Oh, and Alabama is working on another one.
When Oregon has a resume like this, then they will have reached Alabama's level. Until then,
