Bama Manziel'd at Home

newsherald.com

In case you missed it, the almighty Crimson Tide fell to the little ol' Aggies from Texas A&M. I know what you're thinking. How can this be? Alabama is the best team in the history of our planet. They are head and shoulders better than any team in the nation. Saban's bunch can even beat some NFL teams!

I hope everyone hyping Bama up all season realizes how dumb all the nonsense above sounds. What really gets me is that this team is not even as talented as last year's squad. You know, the team with Trent Richardson, Dont'a Hightower, all those guys. And THAT team lost a game, so I've been really confused about the notion that Alabama is invincible this season.

Don't get me wrong, though. The Crimson Tide are still quite possibly the best team in the best conference in the country. (We shall see soon enough. Go Dawgs!) But let the record show that Alabama is in fact subject to defeat.

And how bout those Aggies, right? I tried to tell y'all that Johnny Football was a baller. I did pick Bama to win the game, and they certainly had several opportunities to do so. Insert a Yeldon fumble, McCarron pick, and a killer offsides penalty (rumors that Nick Saban actually murdered that guy are unconfirmed at the moment) and the Aggies pull off the upset.

Now some things to take away from this game.
1. Alabama can be beat. Despite expert analysis, it is possible. (Go Dawgs!)
2. McCarron should NOT be in the Heisman conversation. Johnny Manziel absolutely should be in that same convo.
3. College football is freakin' awesome. (No explanation necessary)
4. The SEC is hands down the best conference in the nation. (4-9 in the BCS standings)
5. The Dawgs are still in the hunt. With a KState loss (Texas) and a ND loss (USC), a UGA win over Bama puts us in the National Championship. I wouldn't say all of this is LIKELY, but it's definitely possible. 

The worst part of the Alabama loss is that we, as college football fans, must accept the very real possibility that we may see an SEC-less BCS Title game, what's worse Notre Dame might be in the game instead.  And c'mon, who wants to see that?
