In the mean time, you can't argue the point that it's easier for some to get focused for games, consolation game or not, and those are usually the type of personality that would have more success. You can't argue that good coaches will have the team focused and prepared for all games. You also can't argue that Alabama wasn't focused for such an big bowl game.
