Congrats Bama and specifically @rolltidefan , regardless of the outcome next week Bama will have a second .900 decade.  

For 2011-2020 so far the Tide are 126-12 (.9130).  If they win on Monday that will improve to 127-12 (.9137) and if they lose it will only fall to 126-13 (.9065).  

By the calculations I did over the summer for the traditional helmets and a few others, I only know of four previous .900 decades ever:

• .9245 Oklahoma from 1948-1957
• .9245 Oklahoma from 1949-1958
• .9095 Oklahoma from 1947-1956
• .9071 Alabama from 2009-2018

Pending the outcome of Monday's game, Bama's 2011-2020 will clock in as either the third or fifth best decade ever.  

To give you an idea how difficult this is, the current (2011-2020) next two best are Clemson (.8705) and Ohio State (.8682).  Ohio State's figure will either improve to .8692 or drop to .8615 on Monday night.  Clemson and Ohio State have been phenomenally good over the past ten years and they are still well short of .900.  

Bama's current, .900 decade:

• 12-1 in 2011:  Lost to LSU then beat them, won NC
• 13-1 in 2012:  Lost to aTm, won NC
• 11-2 in 2013:  Lost to Auburn then lost bowl to OU
• 12-2 in 2014:  Lost to Ole Miss then to tOSU in CFP semi-final
• 14-1 in 2015:  Lost to Ole Miss, won NC
• 14-1 in 2016:  Lost to Clemson in CFPNCG
• 13-1 in 2017:  Lost to Auburn, won NC
• 14-1 in 2018:  Lost to Clemson in CFPNCG
• 11-2 in 2019:  Lost to LSU and Auburn
• 12-1 or 13-0 in 2020:  Only loss, if they have one, will be to tOSU in the CFPNCG

thank you, thank you. i don't want to overplay my role in bama reaching this milestone, but i did work tirelessly on the interwebs and it's truly a blessing to see us succeed the way we have. of course, the players, coaches, medical staff and trainers, and others within the organization deserve their share in the glory as well, regardless of how small their job might seem. team meetings, recruiting, message board troll, scouting, throw/catching/running the ball, tackle drills, med evaluations, rehab, painting the field, cleaning the stadium, cooking the meals, downing beers on the couch, no job should go unrecognized. roll tide and here's to another decade of crimson dominance.

discussions going on about postponing it. osu saying it cold be without an entire position group.

If the protocol is 17 days then what good would it do to postpone the game by seven?

Assuming the Buckeyes tested positive even on NYD, 17 days would get you to at least January 18 which is the alternative, no?

the protocols were setup by the confs not ncaa/cfp right? which protocols are osu subject to? are there any for cfp?

i don't have link, but osu spokesman said that they're practicing/preparing to play and no reason to postpone.

The 17 days is Big Ten protocol. That protocol does not apply here (or in any of the bowl games).

Unless something has changed the playoffs basically told the teams to keep following their conference protocol. That's why the rule aas changed to 17 days and also why OSU kept testing guys up to Gameday against Clemson and Clemson stopped midweek.

CAnt postpone , same reason browns gonna get smoked, you push back and bama gets cases 10 days later it becomes a pissing match. 

but rumors of entire D line out, I mean osu wasn’t gonna stop the slim reaper with d Wade tripping on his feet anyways, but it would be disappointing to see neither team at its best. 

Bucks better go layne kiffin and give Justin the launch codes, lots of bombs !
