Dynasties usually last around 3-4 seasons before starting to fizzle. Bama not only won 5 championships from 2009-2017, they also had multiple seasons where they damn near won it all. In fact, I’d say that every season from 2008-2021 save for 2010 had a Bama team that could have won the NC. They played and lost in five CFB playoffs (2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023).

From 2008 to 2023, Bama was never eliminated from the NC before November, and was only eliminated before the Auburn game twice (2010 & 2022, when they were eliminated by LSU).

I hate it, but you have to give mad props to that level of consistency.

Truth... incredibly difficult to maintain that kind of consistency at that level of play, for that long.. being our interstate rival, we had front row seat viewing & it still seems hard to believe.
