Analysis: The mansion Alabama had built in our heads will carry on though the heights of November with the lights dimmed and the gawkers gone. It’ll seem oddball, Chuck Culpepper writes.
Alabama has done something almost supernatural in the playoff era that began in 2014, and the six seasons preceding that. It has triumphed over opponent after opponent but also over the fundamental human trait of complacency. It has become that marvel so persistent that it grows in mind until it’s just taking up a big, assumed space. Here went its total of regular season losses between 2008 and 2021, counting conference-title games: 1, 0, 3, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 1.
That “2” there, from 2019, didn’t come about until Nov. 30 of that year, when Alabama missed a tying 30-yard field goal and lost 48-45 at Auburn for a second loss that season, quashing the last strains of playoff talk amid a woeful injury mid-November to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. That’s Alabama’s only playoff miss before this moment, which finds it at 7-2 and out and LSU at 7-2 and maybe just deliciously in somehow.
In a great and sudden hush, it’ll go like this: at No. 11 Ole Miss, home to Austin Peay, home to Auburn.
