Because you are evaluating things the teams controlled. In their bowl games Nebraska played:

1993 - FSU (#1) and lost by 2 points.
1994 - Miami (#3) and won
1995 - beat UF (#2) and won
1996 - Lost to VT (#9)
1997 - beat Tennessee (#3) by 25 points


nebraska beat virginia tech by 3 tis.

alabama's current run is awesome, but nebraska mid 90s was better. 3 undefeated national championship teams, and the greatest team of all time, 1995. the 95 florida team that nebraska beat by 40 is one of the greatest SEC teams of all time.

During this entire "mini-run" or "baby-Saban run"

the best team Bama beat was '11 LSU - and it took a 2nd chance rematch for them to beat LSU...not winning the division or SEC.

Sorry, but Bama has been placed in the title game by the media too many times while not even doing the job on the field even with a weak arse SEC schedule.

If USC got Bama's treatment last decade, they would have been in the BCS Championship every year from 2003-2008...and once you're in the championship, crap...anybody can win...USC won 6 or their BCS bowl games...and usually was playing the best at the end of the year...as the majority of sportswriters said at the time...

"if we had a true playoff - USC would win this thing every year."

So...when these "runs" are so subjective and so dependent on sportswriters and ESPN giving you another chance after another chance to win a little crystal ball - helping you out...meh?

Is it really something to brag about when you can't take care of business on the field and need the media to give you another chance?

Subjective and overrated - just ask Okie St. or LSU.

Fact is Bama couldn't take care of any business themselves...not winning the SEC so many years is a huge black mark.

This run is somewhat of a fraud to be honest and fair.
