Good teams win dispite sloppy play. USC is a good team (I hate saying that). They win after falling behind in the first half of seemingly every meaningful game and end up pulling it out in the end. 'Bama had been outplayed by an Ole Miss team nearly all game last week. Ole Miss' best efforts weren't good enough to beat 'Bama's poor play. 'Bama still wins. Now, is USC, 'Bama and LSU three of the "luckiest" teams in the country? No. They're three of the better teams in the country.
Just the fact that Bama even on a bad day had a "game" with Ole Miss, says they not as good as we all think they are... LSU plays bad and beats FLORIDA, ZONA ST. Bama plays bad and barely beats OLE MISS?
