re: Is the end near for Bama?

They have the number one recruiting class. So no. Has LSU almost caught up…yes. Is Georgia ahead. Yes.

They have won one natty since 2017, and it was the pandemic year.

Definitely a huge asterick next to any “championship” from the year 2020, such as the Dodgers World Series “championship” that year.

Saban's a chode

The big change with Bama recently is that they are just not beating the brakes off of everyone now. Yes they only lost by two plays this year but they also could have lost on the last play of the game versus Ole Miss and Aggie. They are getting into these tight games that they usually pull off. And now with the change of the portal and NIL things are changing big-time. It was a really good point by one of the posters earlier talking about how the players who hate Saban they can split. He’s lost so much of that control now and I believe that is going to affect his coaching. It will be a slow decline though. And I wouldn’t be shocked if he still pulls off one more national championship. But I do believe we are starting to see the slow decline.

Yes. The last 5 seasons they have one title and that was in a COVID year which doesn’t really count.

Now compare that with the previous 5 years

This is a good point, but personally I'm still waiting on them to lose 3 (or more) regular seasons games. That hasn't happened since the Cam Newton season of 2010, think about that. Heck they haven't lost 3 games total (including postseason) since then either.

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before - Alabama only had ten FBS wins, the best of which were vs #17 LSU and #22 Mississippi State

Mullen choked that game away in Starkville

LSU also had a good shot of winning too if Etling and Chark could have connected at all

Little Nicky's clock has been ticking now for a couple years.

Popping the blue pills now for awhile.

I've started a few posts saying he needs to hang it up while he's still on or near the top. Of course, on the SEC Rant I got down voted by all the Gumps. But look at Father Time, he never loses. Bobby Bowden, Woody Hayes, Joe Pa, shall I go on? Oh yeah, I forgot the one we forced to quit with the 20-10 beatdown, the Bear himself.

No.

As anyone outside Tuscaloosa knows, þhey could have 6 commits and they would still have the #1 class. The services would just update and score each at 1609.2.

Who has the most first rounders, draft picks and Heisman winners since saban got there in 2007? Wanna guess which university also has the most national titles and playoff appearances?

The bama bump is real because Saban is the greatest college coach ever and he's better at evaluating talent than any Internet star guy. They don't bama bump to get Alabama at the top. They bama bump to ride sabans coattails.

LOL. No. Not even close.

#1 Recruiting classes, favorable scheduling, and of course, favorable officiating when needed. With a 12 team playoff, they would have to lose four games to be out of the discussion and that won't happen.
