NUMBERS DON'T LIE

So we were listening to the Barn-biased radio this morning, and we heard the usual Barner argument: "Barn owns Bama because we have the best 3rd down conversion rate in the 4th quarter in games falling on odd years for the past 12 seasons.... boo ya!"  As a Bama fan, we don't understand the logic behind choosing only certain facts that work to our advantage to show we're superior to another team.  But who said Barners' have logic... after all, they're Barners.  So we decided to use hard facts to compare Bama and the Barn, and the facts, our friend, do not lie:
