Is he related to GeFraud?

Can't wait to see Indiana end yet ANOTHER Quacks season.

I've still holding onto my DeBoer grudge. Happy to see him and his Tide get embarrassed by the Hoosiers. Worst loss for Bama in I don't know how long, by 35 points.
Indiana is totally for real. I've seen a full three games of theirs and they pretty much dominated all three ranked opponents.

It was a 3 loss team facing an undefeated #1 team in the nation.
Not sure what people were expecting. This is what #1 teams do to 3 loss teams.
It is less Kalen falling short in a big game, and more one team being materially better (on every level) than the other team.

Let's not pretend that wasn't a complete drubbing of Alabama. Today's 35 point loss (38-3) was the worst loss Alabama has suffered since 1998, some 26-27 years ago. Alabama's 3 point total also tied the lowest point total in the team's history. They also had only 23 yards rushing. True, Indiana was a 7 point favorite in the game, but they beat Alabama like were a Group of 5 team that got into the playoffs who really didn't belong there.

It was a drubbing but Alabama had no business being there. No other 3 loss team would be in that game. And Bama was destroyed by Georgia too. It wasn't like they were trending up...
But
What 3 loss team would play better? Not sure any 3 loss team would...because no 3 loss team is in that game.

Alabama was a 3 loss team from the SEC who played in the SEC championship game and took one of their 3 losses in that game. The SEC is by good measure the strongest conference in college football from top to bottom, the Big Ten the only other conference that comes close to them in that regard. Let's have a little perspective here. Yes, Alabama lost to Georgia pretty handily, but they also beat them earlier in the year.

Its still a 3 loss team in the SEC, which really only had real contender (GA). Ole Miss is a pretender that just played nobody to rack up a good record. Texas A&M is Texas A&M. OK and Texas are 'goodish' but overall the SEC is not a great conference this year.
Bama is not and was not a top ten team. Shouldn't have been in that game. Were completely exposed because of it. Being near the top of the SEC really just exposes how weak the SEC was this year.
That Bama was a leader in the SEC pretty much disputes the 'SEC is the strongest conference in college football'. Its probably the Big 10. Ohio State is better than most if not all the teams in the SEC. So is Oregon (more accurately GA is likely as good as Oregon...no more, no less) . And Indiana is #1.
(Meanwhile one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the SEC, Ole Miss, struggled with WSU.)
And again NO team with 3 losses should be playing for the national championship. (Especially when TWO of those losses were blowouts...)

Hey, we disagree. That's all. You seem to think a 38-3 loss by Alabama was not at all surprising, but rather an expected drubbing. I tend to think it's going to be seen as a bad loss for the program, one that's going to put the heat back on DeBoer and the direction of the program by fans, media, alumni, especially alumni who are big contributors to the program.

Be careful with the shots on Kalen. That next QB is going to be VERY good.
Kalen is going to make that team very good...very soon.
Im pissed at Kalen for leaving. I hate that we lost Mack, and all the other recruits. But Kalen has the #2 class coming in and that QB is going to be stellar.
Even so, 3 loss teams get drubbed by undefeated #1s...usually. Bama was no exception.
