Two of those opportunities were in 2010, when they lost 3 regular season games, which is the only time they done that at Alabama other than his first year (and he hasn't lost 3 even including the post season any other year). I'm thinking maybe 2010 Alabama just wasn't that good compared to Saban's other Bama teams.

2011 was the 9-6 game, just a different level of physicality than this past week, and a much lower scoring Bama team in general.
It's really to counterpoint the narrative that Bama comes out after a loss and blows people out to impress the committee. They haven't had an impressive blowout win immediately following a loss. Especially not when in playoff contention.
