Got something toxic to say.
How funny would it be if after all of the flack DeBoer has gotten since getting to Alabama and being compared to Nick Saban ... he wins a natty his 3rd year in Tuscaloosa...
the same number of years at Alabama it took... Nick Saban.

Really insightful stuff from #Mizzou HC Eli Drinkwitz today when asked (by @PowerMizzoucom ) about his feelings on conference championships, as the SEC announced this year's will be the final one with the new 24-team playoff.
"My question is, why are we associated with conferences anymore if we're not playing for a conference championship?...You look back in the decisions that we've made in college football for the last six years, and we've made them to where we're at now. And I think you look back and now we've devalued some of the things that made college football so special..."
I'd give his full answer a listen ⬇
The Alabama Crimson Tide earned what may have been the biggest victory of the Kalen DeBoer era on Saturday afternoon in Baton Rouge, handling the LSU Tigers 31-13 and taking another step in what has been a roller coaster season.
It was a coaching masterclass by DeBoer over Lane Kiffin, and despite LSU gaining nearly 200 more yards than Alabama, the Tide was simply the better team in the moments that mattered. Hours after walking into Tiger Stadium with a flashy gaggle of celebrities, Kiffin made the wrong decision in every big moment and allowed DeBoer and this staff to coach laps around him.

Makes sense. What the hell do a bunch of fans who live for Saturday afternoons, spend through the nose to travel to games and buy tickets and bleed their schools’ colors, matter? Ask NASCAR about alienating its core fan base and how that’s worked out for them.
Rich Clark said the CFP is aware of the fan sentiment and “that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion” but … “we owe it to them to make this great and that really is our intent. We did take into account their sentiment… but we decided to move forward with it.”
A question I’m interested in.
This past weekend, some paid $300+ for a ticket to the Ole Miss/Georgia game. Same for LSU/Bama & Tenn/UK.
Next year, do those same people pay that $300+ or wait until the playoffs to spend that kind of $? What do attendance numbers do?

Coaching at Alabama ain't for everybody, and Kalen DeBoer has felt the wrath at times. Who wouldn't coming in after Nick Saban? But a few numbers to consider on the heels of tonight's blowout of LSU on the road:
In his career, DeBoer is 22-8 vs. AP ranked teams, 8-4 vs. top-10 teams, 8-2 vs. Kiffin, Sark, Smart and Lanning, 9-0 off a bye week, 11-3 vs. ranked teams on the road and 6-2 vs. ranked teams in true road games at Bama.
