Anyone see the new Bama article on front page of ESPN?

“This may be the best Bama team ever”
Guarantee that narrative changes if we beat them in the playoffs. The excuses will start to come out and no longer will they be considered the best Bama team to ever be fielded.

ESPN Knows LSU Could Beat Bama And Need to Plant Seeds

to then super elevate LSU. LSU is better defensively and at home, Tua's knee is still suspect and LSU will hit him. You might see Hurts before this game is over and not in garbage time.

LSU will is a double-digit (14 point) home underdog to Alabama.
It won't be that close.

That’s funny, I thought last years team was supposed to be the best

And the team before that was the best ever, and so on.
I thought they were supposed to be playing NFL teams by now

Not so fast my friend! Bama is a great football team and I don’t need ESPN to convince me. They will beat the faux Tigers by thirty points. All the real Tigers want is a chance and I’m thinking that will happen. I’m not sure I can handle another New Orleans kind of game but I’m quickly becoming convinced that TL can give them a better game. How I wish that game could be played in the real Death Valley! Go Tigers

They say it every year. The 2016 team was the best before Clemson humbled them. I think the ending may turn out the same way this year.

Regardless of what the pundits said, I thought that their 2016 team was the best team Saban had ever had even though we beat them. I thought that their team last year was worse than 2016, but I do believe that this year's team is their best yet.

One things for certain, they've never had a prolific offense like this under Nick Saban. They'll blow the doors off LSU this weekend like they always do.

They absolutely have. This is not the first high powered offense Saban has fielded, although I would argue it is the first where the QB was the dynamic threat. Every other Saban offense has been about the OLine and the skill positions, with a carefully groomed, average talent QB managing the game with Saban whispering in his ear.
This is the first ever Saban team with an offense that is entirely focused on the dual threat QB.
Saban doesn't invent and improvise. Instead, he identifies mismatches and exploits them. The unique thing about him is, he uses what other teams used to beat him.
For years, Saban's style was old school, balanced, game management. Then comes along Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Clemson, who rip Bama apart with high speed, dual threat QBs.
What does Saban do?
He adopts the offensive style that kicked his butt for 4 years straight.

competition. This is definitely not the best Bama defense ever. Just typical ESPiN hype.

I completely agree with them that this may be the best Bama team ever. Their defense has taken a step back, but their offense is head and shoulders above anything Saban has ever had. If they lose in the playoff then of course the narrative will change, but you can only assess what they have done up to this point.
It's possible to credit Bama with potentially having their best team ever while at the same time believing that we could possibly have our best team ever as well. It almost seems inevitable that we will meet again in Clem-Bama IV, but in the championship game again.
