re: Les Miles = Cholly Mac. Nick Saban = Bear Bryant

Nick Saban should do the same for Iowa State beating OK St allowing Bama to get a rematch against LSU last year. Then he should thank Stanford and Baylor this year for knocking off Oregon and K-State allowing him to get back to the BCS CG this year. While he's at it, he should go a head and thank LSU and Florida for beating Texas A&M, because if A&M had won 1 of those games, Nick and the boys would be gearing up for the Sugar Bowl tonight.

Great post. CFB is broken in the way a NC is determined. I was not kicking around during the Bear era but it makes you wonder how many of his "6" NCs came the way Sabans did last year, you know undeserved and basically an opinionated poll. This sport will never have a true NC until a deep playoff is formed. The biggest issue without having a playoff is the fact it takes away the value of week to week improvement and penalizing a team that may have lost early but is playing their best at the conclusion of the season. Even at 4 games and with a "committee" teams like Bama that get special treatment will continue to do so. Yesterday's competitive bowl games proved 16 teams like fcs would work if you leave out the Mid majors that don't belong there.

At this point the truest measure may be conference titles and saban has 4 in 10 seasons, while les has 2 in 8. I won't dispute saban is better but les has a few sec titles. Did Cholly even win the sec?
