Watch an Alabama hype video and you wonder how the Crimson Tide ever lose a game. Their hits are harder than yours, their touchdown runs more thunderous, Eli Gold's "TOUCHDOWN ALABAMA" call more triumphant.
It's easy to make their hype videos look that way because, after all, Alabama rarely does lose games. The Tide beat Auburn and LSU, won the SEC for the third time in six years, reached the inaugural College Football Playoff, and garnered a No. 1 ranking for the seventh straight season. And they considered it a down year.
