Just wow.
When Saban at Alabama lost to Louisiana Monroe - that was the same Saban that's still coaching - and the same Alabama players that went on to do very well for Alabama.
You don't mention that the same year - we beat FSU - and thanks to the damned computer rating (heavily based on vote ranking), we got cheated out of playing Oklahoma that year for the National Championship.
FSU also lost a game that year - to US.
You pick your facts like you pick your nose - you dig until you find a favorite - and just chew, and chew, and chew on it.
