Alabama still had a very good season they literally lost on the last play of the game twice. I think anyone underestimating Saban and Alabama are in for a rude awakening. Media heads have claimed the Dynasty was over a few times back in 2015 and 2020 and then Saban came back and won another Championship.

I claimed it was over in 2019 when LSU beat them in Tuscaloosa, and I was right! When LSU outclassed them in 2019 after Clemson destroyed them in 2018, I had seen enough to say that the dynasty was over. Those two games were something that had not been seen since Saban got established at Bama. Sure, he lost an occasional game, but everyone knew it was a fluke.
After LSU won in 2019, I predicted that Bama would be lucky to win another championship, and I thought one more was Saban’s ceiling. He won the pandemic, and good for him. I stand by my prediction: he’s finished.
Saban will be competitive, but I don’t see him making a four team playoff again. Lucky for him it goes to 12.

While technically true, it ignores how awful they played in multiple other games. They nearly lost to an awful A&M team (yes they beat LSU, but A&M was a different team at that point).
They also should have lost to UTexas, but lucked out in knocking out their QB early (shocker). Then add in a reeling Ole Miss, and you can understand that people saw the issues with the team.
They were as close to 7-5 as they were to 12-0, and that is not normal for a Saban Bama team, especially one coming off an CFP Final Appearance and returning a Heisman QB.
For example, 2010 they lost 3 games with two of those by a combined 4 points, but only had 1 win by less than double digits.
That is the issue.

But the leaders of that team are go e and they have some critical holes to fill. I agree that Bama isn’t going anywhere but 2023 we will likely see a weaker than usual Bama.

Here's the thing, the portal has fundamentally changed college football. Unlike a few years ago where Saban could just stack 5 star on top of 5 star, now those 5 stars are leaving after a year or two on the bench. Bama will never be as deep (and thus as dominant) as they were 5 years ago.
Saban will always have them in the conversation while he is there, but they are not now, nor will they ever be, what they once were.

With a Heisman QB that is not there this year. I’d be shocked if Bama doesn’t lose minimum 2 and possibly even 3 or 4 games this year. They almost lost 4 last year.
I’m not saying Saban is “done” but his back to back to back dominance over the west is absolutely done.

They also literally won on the last play of two of their games as well.

quote:some of yall have deranged Bama syndrome. That team this year in 2023 will be the same or worse than that 2022 team. That 2022 team had major flaws and just as easily as they could have won those games, you clearly gloss over the multiple one score games they could have lost last year as well.

Also the dynasty has been over. A covid year championship is all they have since 2017.
