During its dynastic run under Coach Nick Saban, the Alabama Crimson Tide has not lost often.
Discounting Saban's first season in Tuscaloosa, Alabama has lost only 14 games in the past decade, less than 1.5 games a season.
And on the rare occasions when they do lose, it's typically in one of two ways: Via a dominant defensive performance (See: 2010, LSU 9-6) or an epic effort by the opposing quarterback.
To beat 'Bama, a team has to have a lot of things going for it, the athletes to match the Crimson Tide's speed and skill on the perimeter, the line play to counter their size and strength in the trenches and an elite quarterback that can make plays in the red zone and on third down.
