| Alabama 2008-2012 - How impressive would this run be? (Posted on 10/9/12 at 10:15 pm)
assuming they win it all this year
2008: 12-2, SEC runner up and lost in a BCS bowl
2009: 14-0, SEC/National title
2010: 10-3
2011: 12-1, National title
2012: 14-0 SEC/National title (hypothetical)
6 losses in 5 years. 3 national titles.
that has to be one of the more impressive runs, at least in the modern era

As douchey as little Nicky is, he's an amazing college coach, and given the resources of Alabama, has dominated the NCAA.

Even if they don't win this year (which I don't think they will), they'll be the favorite for 2013.
So it could be 7 losses in 7 years and 3 national titles.

Don't forget about Nebraska 1993-1997.
1993: 11-1, 2 point loss in the national title game
1994: 13-0, national title
1995: 12-0, national title, goat team
1996: 11-2, Orange Bowl win
1997: 13-0, national title
60-3 over 5 years.

Saban is a world-class dick but a great coach. Add that to the resources and recruiting base bama has, it would be an epic fail if they weren't dominant.

I don't now...More impressive if they didn't lose to Utah in their 2008 BCS bowl; Texas didn't lose their QB in the 2009 title game and if they went undefeated w/o a second-chance last year.
There's always something with Bama that feels like they get the breaks in winning NTs while some teams have dominated in the past and didn't win the title.

Boo fricking hoo. Can people stop bitching about this? I'm no fan of Bama, but this is the lamest excuse ever. LSU lost its starting QB, RB, LT, TE, and CB against Bama and you don't hear us trying to say Bama's win was illegitimate somehow.
Saban is a jackass, but he's a jackass who can coach.

It's not their fault that Colt McCoy quit.
