Bama has greatly benefited from the BCS as much as any team possibly could.
They earned their titles in 2009 and 2012, but pre-BCS championship, they likely don't win the title in 2011.
I am not saying they weren't a great team, but you'd be hard pressed to look historically at this team and ignore the fact that other teams that were in the top 2-3 didn't get afforded the same opportunity that Bama did. Same with LSU 2007.
Nebraska from 1992 to 1997 was 69-6 with 3 NCs, a loss of a 4th NC by 2 points, and near a third NC in 1996 (where UF rematched FSU).
All of this without the benefit of the extra gimme game Bama has had the past 6 years with the 12 game regular season schedule.
So no, I wouldn't call Bama the greatest dynasty ever, but they are up there.

Get over 2011. If anything, Jan 9th proved it was LSU that didn't deserve to be in that game. That was an embarrassment.

Well, it's either Nebraska in the 90s or Alabama right now as far as best dynasty ever IMO.
but if Bama wins it this year its not even a discussion.
To me it's not even a discussion as is. Bama fricking stacked as frick dawg.
