Bama has only been able to beat Texas and Notre Dame, combined...what..3 times in 16 tries Not remotely competitive in the big picture. Bama has only one win against Texas... but, it was the most recent game played, and the biggest. The loss was so devastating, the entire program at Texas has been putrid for a decade. If we played them tomorrow, Bama would be a 25+ point favorite. You’re right, at the moment, we’re not remotely competitive against Bama.

If Texas and Bama play in 2030 does that mean that the last time they played 20 years ago will, somehow, no longer count ? I'll let you in on a little secret, Bevo, if you promise to keep it among ( No sharing !). All the games count and count equally in a series between schools. When Bama has lined up vs Notre Dame and Texas the Tide has won exactly 19% of the time......repeat - 19% of the time. The Bama dominance is underwhelming.

The remainder of ND's schedule looks to be the easiest of all the contenders. Of all the playoff challengers they're the team I'd most like to play. I hope they lose a game or better yet, they go undefeated and get shut out of playoff. Say the following happens -- Alabama or Georgia wins out with the other only losing in the SEC championship in a game similar to last years NC game. Ohio State wins out... Oklahoma wins out.... Clemson wins out.... Notre Dame wins out.... What 4 teams are in? That scenario ND is out but that scenario is not going to happen.

What do the Hokies have to do with the Texas/Bama series or the ND Bama/series ?. For the record, Alabama and Va Tech have the exact same # of NCAA FB championship trophies in their trophy cases..ZERO each.
No comment...just as I thought.
(see how dumb that is to expect an instant response )

When Bama has lined up vs Notre Dame and Texas the Tide has won exactly 19% of the time......repeat - 19% of the time. The Bama dominance is underwhelming. Sure Hen...ALL the games count. But, if you're going to compare football programs like Bama vs Texas, one should look at ALL their games, not just games played against each other.
Texas and Bama have played a total of 2,280 games... yet, only NINE against each other. 9 times in 120+ years. That ain't many. It's a pretty unrepresentative sample to try to compare the teams.
Overall, Bama has won 71.5% of their games... and, TONS of National Championships. Texas has won 69% of our games, and 3 Natty's. I love my Horns... but, to say Bama is "not competitive" against us is as pretty ridiculous statement. I mean, it's something I would say.... but, everyone knows I'm 90% full of crap.. 90% of the time. (well, most people know it... a few never figured it out).
It's even more ridiculous when one considers RECENT history... like the last 10 years. Bama has set records that might never be matched while Texas has been a big stinking pile of bull crap.
The only thing saving our "dominance" against Bama is, the fact that we rarely ever play them.

Good data, Bevo, but nobody was really trying to compare program historical success rates.... just very simply the undeniable fact that when Alabama lines up to play college football vs Notre Dame and Texas, Alabama wins 19 % of the time...nothing more, nothing less.

We may have won 77.8% of our games against Bama, but... I don't know too many Texas fans who want to play them again anytime soon...
Unless, of course... it's in the Dr. Pepper CFP National Championship Finals.

You seem to have a true genius for cherry picking talking points to reinforce what you want to believe. Your ability to ignore entire bodies of work in this process is exceptional. Onward, through the fog.

No fog, hero.

It appears the Irish have entered the Sandman and survived.
Notre Dame looks like playoff material this year

The Irish survive Marino-uniform Pitt
5 games left
vs. Navy @ Northwestern vs. FSU vs. Syracuse (at Yankee Stadium) @ USC
Can they do it? Now is the year to have FSU and USC on the schedule...Northwestern and Syracuse could be tricky

3 games left for the Irish? Is that correct?
Syracuse could be a problem
It's coming down to the wire for the Irish and the playoffs
