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.

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.

Saban gonna Saban.

It's impressive but they could also only end up winning 1 sec championship in that time.

One of the best ever. It's a lot , and I mean a lot harder to stay elite now rather than even 25-30 years ago. Teams like Bama used have a strong selling point in that they were usually on tv more than other SEC teams. Not now. Pretty much every SEC team is on tv. Saban's run since 08 is prob top 3-4 runs ever. Oklahoma back in the day ( that crazy win streak, I think like 43 games), Nebraska early to mid 90's and then Bama's recent run.

Crazy how that 2010 team lost 3 games.

Saban has found a way to combine his incredible recruiting skills with good position coaches

You would think it would at least be enough to make ESPN forget about how they spent 5 years telling you about USC's "dynasty".

Sounds like time to move onto a new challenge.

You don't have to go back very far.

2005 (12-1) BCS Title Game Loss

2007 (11-2) BCS Win
