Bama got outphysicaled and out played and out everything in both their two big games and managed to somehow squeak one of them out (Thanks to a truck bed full of Miles dumb calls). Notre Dame on the other hand smacked the crap out of OU and never even let USC come close to sniffing victory. Close wins against lesser teams is never the telling sign. It's how you play against the big dogs. Bama can rape and pillage The North Central Michigan Charter Schools and the Auburns of the world, but they haven't really done much against higher competition and no, Michigan does not count. They are as soft as an Ikea comforter.

You also talk about Notre Dame beating USC like it was some huge accomplishment. They won freaking 7 games. Why not pump up the win against a 7 win BYU if we are going to act like beating USC (with a freshman first time starter at QB) was some huge accomplishment. USC didn't beat a single team that won more than 7 games and more than half of their wins cam against teams that averaged less than 3 wins this season (Hawaii 2, Cal 3, Utah 5, and Colorado 1)

I know that numbers don't mean everything, but I would still rather have the numbers on my side.
I will gladly compare the common opponents for Alabama against both Notre Dame and UGA. When you look at the 4 SEC teams that both Alabama and UGA played, the numbers are very close on offese. The difference on defense is staggering when you compare UGA and Bama.
UGA averaged a 25.8 margin of victory compared to Bama's 32.8.
UGA averaged 486.3 yds/game on offense and 7.09 yds/play compared to Bama's 465.0 and 6.94.
UGA gave up an average of 330.3 yds/game and 4.87 yds/play compared to Bama's 198.0 and 3.44.
Against Michigan, Notre Dame won by 7 and had 239 yds at 4.78 yds/play while giving up 299 at 4.53 yds/play.
Alabama won by 27 and had 431 yds at 6.84 yds/play while giving up 269 yds at 4.80 yds/play. The numbers aren't even that close when you thing about 31-7 at half time and backups playing the entire 4th quarter as well.
