Is the "Alabama Hangover" real?

[2Stater]

BTW, I went back and added 2011 and 2012 to this calculation.  I changed the criteria a little (mostly b/c I'd forgotten what I did before - not to skew the data), but I looked at the 2 (calendar) weeks before and after SEC teams play Alabama.  I took their record against any SEC teams that they played in those weeks, ignoring OOC opponents (i.e. cupcukes).  Sorry for the mess, but I think you can get the picture.  SEC opponents are winning 13% less often during the "Alabama Hangover" period.

Game   Opponent   Previous 2   Post 2
1   Arkansas  1-2       5-2
2   Georgia   2-0   1-0
3   Kentucky   0-1   2-2
4   Ole Miss   2-2   4-4
5   Tennessee   2-5   1-4
6   LSU   3-2   4-2
7   Miss State   4-1   4-6
8   Florida   4-0   0-4
9   Missouri   1-0   1-1
10   South Carolina   2-1   2-2
11   Vandy   0-1   0-1
12   TAM   2-0   1-0
         
         
   Totals:   23-15   25-28
   Win %   60.5   47.2

My hangover is usually more immediate, like the next day after the game.

Interesting data you put together HL. There is no doubt our physical style of play affects our opponents in the second half in our game and the next few weeks.

Stealing a line from WV: Always knew it... never could prove it.

(I enjoyed reading back through the post from two years ago. Comments by our old friends BAMAWV and Coach Hank Crisp.)

Unfortunately I did not connect the dots when I picked UT this week.

Even worse, SC, I changed *my* pick to UT just before the start of that game.

I didn't expect them to win, but I did think they would keep it within 12 1/2 points.  I thought Mizzou would be down a little after their dream of a national championship ended with that OT loss last week.
