Alabama Margin of Victory

Came across this over at Team Speed Kills (http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2009/10/15/1085096/why-some-are-getting-restless):

Auburn Margin of Victory
Season Points for Points Allowed Margin
2004 417 147 270
2005 386 186 200
2006 322 181 141
2007 315 220 95
2008 208 216 -8

It was this graph which lead, among other things, to Tuberville's demise.

So, I looked unto the Saban era for margin of victory

Saban Margin of Victory
Season Points for Points Allowed Margin
1 BS (aka 2006) 298 250 48
1 AS (2007) 352 286 66
2 AS 422 200 222
3 AS (to date) 222 75 147
3 AS (projected*) 518 175 343

* calculated as points to date / 6 x 14 (and yes, I know that's ridiculous, but I don't care!)

Anyway, it seems clear at least that we should outdo last year's already outstanding 222 Margin of Victory, and might eclipse Auburn's perfect season inducing 270 Margin from 2004.  We have a trend here, and projecting onward, we can easily calculate next year's Margin at being approximately 460, which would lead to a 20-0 season in a 14 game schedule.

Good times.

I would not

project our margin out for this year because our toughest games are ahead (well except Chatt.)

I would say that in general everyone knows that coming into 2009 Bama was getting better and Auburn was getting worse.

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.

It must be true

I heard a rumor that the jackass that the barners use for their sex ed and driver ed classes was crossed with a barner graduate. The result must have been Go Hide in the V-berth.
