Gators caught crap for losing by 10 points. Wonder what the press will say about ND tomorrow?

As to Holtz saying that Alabama's "Dynasty" was over and that Saban should retire....

 

[Rhone Man]

There just isn't really much you can say. I believe ND were a better team than they looked tonight, but damn, that was one serious beat-down.

Cue: start meaningless chatter about whether Alabama might be the first team to win three in a row.

 

[The Chairman]

That was an amazing game for 'Bama. 28 nothing at the half. Amazing. Good job, Tide. Continue to roll!

From the interwebs: 2013 BCS National Championship: Alabama beats Notre Dame - CBS News

The game cemented the SEC's dominance, asserts CBSSports.com columnist Gregg Doyel. "The gap between the SEC and everyone else isn't getting ridiculous; it is ridiculous," he writes, adding that the SEC is "clearly superior to the rest of college football."

From the second link:

Nick Saban knows it, too. When he thinks big, he doesn't think about winning the national championship. He thinks about winning the SEC championship.
Because it's the same thing.
"We got here by 5 yards -- Georgia was 5 yards from scoring [the winning touchdown in the SEC title game]," Saban said. "It's a pretty tough league we play in. We're going to have to improve as a program to have the opportunity to play for a national championship again, because of the quality of our league."
It's not hype. It's not myth. The SEC is real -- and it's spectacular.
