Nebraska was excellent but was lucky to play OU and Texas during the Mackovic/Gibbs/Blake eras. Their toughest games were against aTm and K State.

I am not a Bama apologist. I hate them. But they would have been unbeaten there too.

once in the run

Bama has had an outstanding run but they have been fortunate to win championships without winning the SEC or winning or their games

The Miami and USC runs earlier last decade are eerilly similar and more dominant in their three consecutive seasons (00-02 miami, 03-05 usc)

The Nebraska run between 94 and 97 was also more dominant (they were undefeated in three of the four years). The Oklahoma run in the 1950s is also worth mentioning (three consecutive undefeated seasons).

Having said all this you can't really compare teams from different eras. The Alabama team in the last five seasons has been the class of college football and that is all they could have distinguished themselves as being. They did it and that's one hell of an accomplishment.
