I love great defenses and suffocating other teams. But college football has changed. You have to have a very good offense to win. Teams WILL score on you, even with an elite defense.

As stated above, bamas def last year was too notch, and clemson score 35points or so.

Also, even though our 2011defense was elite, we still needed elite special teams to win games. You've got to have at least 2 out of 3.

This just isnt true. 2015 bama is an easy example. You dont need a great offense to win a title.

Where are these elite offenses that win titles?

Even 2010 auburn had an elite run defense and were ranked really high in turnovers.

You dont see elite offenses with average defenses win titles while you repeatedly see elite defenses with average offenses win titles.

2011 is a great example. Both CG participants had amazing defenses with above average offenses and they destroyed every team they faced except when they played each other.
