2018 Alabama might be better than 2005 Texas...but it's a different era of college football

First off, 2005 Texas is the greatest team of all time, led by the greatest player of all time. Period. Second, this is just a totally different era of college football, and the fact is that the 2005 Texas roster would CRUSH shit in today's game. Imagine the different ways we could deploy and utilizie an offesnive backfield of VY, Ramonce, Jamaal, Selvin, and Ahmard Hall, not to mention David Thomas, three NFL O linemen, Limas Sweed, Quan Cosby, etc. And a defense featuring, what, 9 future NFL players? More? Stupid talent.

So yeah, 2005 Texas may still be the greatest team ever, but this Bama team is as good as I've seen since then. Clemson is pretty fucking ridiculous too. The guys who will play for the national title this year were in first and second grade when the 2005 team conquered the mighty Trojans. The game today is so different; players are bigger and faster yet also somehow sleeker and smaller, depending on which position group you're talking about. D linemen are smaller, offenses are faster and more modern, every team has a QB who can run (thanks to #10). Point being, even though it's less than two decades later, it's hard to compare teams across eras, and these two teams to in fact lay in different eras. All I know is it would be a helluva game if they could somehow sqaure off.

Bama’s D line look bigger than either the Horns or the Trojans did, and just got worked.

Why Derka thinks that he’s a great philosopher of sports, I’ll never know. 

Ahem...

Ask the OP his opinion of Sam Ehlinger

To be fair, he did come back and admit he was gladly wrong.

The thread title did not age well.

I disagree, only because OP is Derka. It aged almost perfectly and just as one would hope and expect.

 

Just like a stinky cheese.

Derka and shitty sports take; name a more iconic duo

Is this the Thread where we're supposed to post memes only? 

 

Gentlemen ... Gentlemen ... a little respect.

The vaunted 2018 edition of Alabama football just joined a very unique and exclusive club. In fact, that club only has two other members ... The 2003 edition of the Oklahoma Sooners and the USC Condoms of 2005.

That club? The greatest college football team in the history of God not to win the national championship.

HERE'S TO THE LOSERS! HUZZAH!

Nothing to do with 44-16. Has everything to do with let's see the entire season play out before crowning  certain teams as the best ever!!

See USC 2005 and OU 2003.

I agree with the overall premise. I disagree that this is some huge fail.

I would crown Terry Saban's ass. Like literally put a crown on it and then do her from behind. But then I tend to get uncontrollable erections when visiting assisted living facilities.

It's more of using 2005 Texas in the title and premise to prematurely crown this team as the best ever. Knowing that would get a reaction on here. It was almost made right after they beat OU. A team we already beat this season and should have blown out just like Bama did.

 

I mean what does 2005 Texas have to with this season and making those baseless comparisons are dumb because you can't even quantify it because they will obviously never play.

 

You want to come out and say 2018 is the best ever? Cool. This thread would not have gotten much attention. But it was calculated using 2005 Texas on this forum for the attention he wanted.

This is the best offensive Bama team of their run, but far from their best defensive team. Not sure what other people have been watching. 

I heard it a lot this year that it might be the best Bama team ever, but I didn't see it.  Their defense lost a lot from last year.  They were vulnerable as Clemson (and OU after the 1st quarter) showed.  SEC koolaid?  The SEC was much weaker than normal in the middle so they made Alabama look good.

Hell, jawja had them on the ropes too. They also have a shitty kicker while 2005 Texas had a badass one. They simply were not a complete team.

Not that it means anything, but some final Sagarin ratings.... 

2005 Texas - 106.93

2016 Clemson - 105.35

2011 Bama - 104.17

2004 SC - 103.37

2018 Clemson - 103.16

2017 Bama - 101.18

Bro, have you ever even been to Alabama?

Obviously not because you wouldn't be posting shitty takes such as, "Bama seems like it sucks".

bro, do you even sam bradford thread?

Wasn't Derka the one slobbering all over Johnny Manziel's cock and saying how he wished we had him over Ash back in September 2012?
