Cool. This time last year with cup cakes the Bama scoring defense was ranked 5th in the nation.

I only pulled up a site that lists rankings at the end. I'm sure you are right. Which is greater? #3 with the 30th ranked offense and #16 with the 6th ranked offense this year or Ark and Texas last year? You know that it's stronger this year and I 100% disagree that this Bama defense is a lot weaker than last year. I think they are on par with last year. You delude yourself all you want want but so far, and the season will tell the whole story, I may end up being wrong, but so far they are on par as lasts years defense with a harder schedule to start the season this year. You can't dispute that Texas and UM, right now are ranked much higher and have better offenses than Tex and Ark this time last season. It would be a disingenuous argument.
Did Tulsa end up ranked after the bowl game? If so that might be another, but can't remember.
Some count the ranking at the time played, not at the end of the year. I never have but can kind of understand why some do that. Some used to only count Mullen's ranked record for the end of the rankings but flipped with Leach counting at the time played which I thought was being hypocritical.
Hey, at least Will threw his 1st TD pass against Bama. We just put up the most points vs them since 17 and lost by the smallest margin since 17. Our defense blows. If we had last years defense, this O gave us a shot. CZA at least had them not playing afraid.
Carry on.
It's insane. Our D is obviously the issue. The offense is adjusting after 3 years of nothing but dump off passes. Will has had his most pass ypg and highest QBR vs FBS team so far this year. We're also running the ball well. We had a bad half on O vs AZ and were flat against LSU and still almost matched leaches totals outside of pelini. We also had our best O game in 6 yrs vs Bama and put up 30 in a road sec game
