If the whole Reggie Tushy incident hadn't occurred and SC didn't have sanction imposed, would SC have been battling it out with Alabama during its long championship run? Personally, I believe SC was already starting to falter as it appeared the Pac 10 teams started to figured out Carroll,. I know water under the bridge, but I thought this would make an interesting morning conversation.

Those two Super Bowl appearances with one win and having the #1 ranked defenses five years running in the ultimate pro sports league on earth clearly shows how eroded his coaching skills have become. Oh please. NEXT FALLACY! YOU'RE UP!

Those two clowns lost us a lot of games. We went into OSU with a Freshman QB in Barkley and won under Caroll. If we don't go on sanctions and he doesn't leave, we would have won a title with him. I mean, even Kiffin won a lot of games with the team Carroll recruited.

Bama had only 1 undefeated season under Saban, but they've played in 6 BCS/playoffs. PC had 5 seasons of one loss or less and played in only 2 BCS games.

At the very least, we would have played the champs tougher than their respective opponents did in those years.
