Quote
Beating Alabama with Nick Saban at the helm of the Crimson Tide has become a worthy badge of merit.

Only five men have done it since Saban’s second season with the Tide, and only one team — Les Miles’ LSU Tigers — has beaten Alabama twice.

Alabama has a 50-6 record since the start of 2008, with BCS national championships after the 2009 and 2011 seasons serving to burnish Saban’s reputation as the modern-day maestro of the college game.

Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham’s team thumped Alabama 31-17 when the Crimson Tide played without ace left tackle Andre Smith in the 2009 Sugar Bowl, but Whittingham offers a gloomy outlook for Alabama’s opponents.

“There’s no weaknesses,” he said. “They pay attention to every detail in every aspect. ... There’s not going to be any place where they’re going to be vulnerable. That’s what you know going in.” ...

Pretty good synopsis.

My guess is that Alabama thinks its a bye week and doesn't show up.

I've read dozens of comments about "bye" weeks, and usually they're misspelled.  You got it right, Jody.  #+

Bye weeks are big at USCe. The students don't go home that weekend.
