Since his initial 7-6 season at Alabama, Nick Saban is an incredible 84-11 in the last seven years. This includes three National Championships and an unblemished record against the Vols. Since 2008 only three major conference programs (plus Boise State's .870 mark) have won more than 80% of their games: Ohio State (.827), Oregon (.851), and Alabama (.884).
When going against the best program in America, you would expect to need all kinds of unusual breaks to get the best of them. And yet, when you look at Alabama's 11 losses in the last seven years, only one really stands out as the Tide being particularly unlucky: the 9-6 overtime loss to LSU in the 2011 regular season, featuring four missed field goals.
