re: Alabama 2008-present, greatest run in CFB history no DOUBT?

Anyway Alabama's run doesn't even rate with only 1 undefeated season

So USC's run in the mid-00s doesn't rate because they only had one undefeated season?

Bama also plays a contrived SEC schedule, so like USC has 1-2 games a year compared to other programs. As other's said, if OSU hits a field goal this is not a discussion.

does he have to be from anywhere? trailors can be moved

I guess the big blemish for the U was losing to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl. Just one of those games where the better team just had an off game.

but that run from the mid 80's to the early 90's is the best in my opinion.

Okie St. should have been there. But HEY IF LSU was THAT great a team they should have smoked Bama the 2nd time. Saban outcoached Miles. Its pretty simple. All that garbage about having to play them again is a SORRY excuse.FACT.

Why should Okie State have been there? Do you believe for a second that Oklahoma State could have hung with Bama? It would have been similar to the Bama/Arky game.

I like Alabama. But when I think of dominant runs, teams like Nebresaka, Miami and Oklahoma come to mind ahead of them. I would have been more leery of a team I was rooting for going up against them during those runs than I'm leery of a team I am rooting for going up against Bama during this run. Not to say they aren't a great program. I just don't get quite the Awe factor as with those other teams.

Of course if we're really talking about the "greatest run in CFB history" I think you might have to go with the old Yale teams which won 26 out of 38 national championships. Of course it was such a different game then.

Because they should have .

Maybe because they had more wins vs Top 25 teams, better SOS???

To the OP: Army may have had a similar run in the 40's...

so we aren't trying to match up the two best teams?

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.

I once talked to a Bama fan about 1970.

They didn't want to acknowledge anything.

So...not wanting to hear the truth...makes sense for you.

We're talking about a school and fanbase that claims national titles over teams they lost to.

So there you go. This thread is probably a waste of time.

Bama fans are by and large mentally insane.
