Bama won half a title (split with USC) when they beat top-ranked Penn State. They finished with one loss - to USC (in Birmingham by 10 points!). USC had only one loss also. Today there would be no doubt - USC would win the title.2 of bamas claims during the Bryant era are whack because they claimed them from polls that didn’t do rankings following bowl games.
Notre dame and Alabama were the 2 best teams in 1973, notre dame beat Alabama in the sugar bowl and Alabama claims a championship because the AP for whatever reason at the time didn’t do polls after bowl games as I said before. This would be like notre dame claiming a title after 2012 because there actually a poll that didn’t do a final poll after bowl games
If notre dame used the same standards to claim national titles. They would have over 20
Of course an undefeated, untied Bama finished 2nd to “Tie one for the Gipper” in 1966.2 of bamas claims during the Bryant era are whack because they claimed them from polls that didn’t do rankings following bowl games.

Back in my day you weren't a real man unless you made the eight.Saban is known to win the natty.
Jeebus, I don't know how I'm going to get through the two programs tomorrow night - - - and then THIS gets announced??????????
We really don't deserve all this.

Rockne is a legend but he died in 1931.. as great as he was never could understand the comparison between a coach of Football today compared to one from 88 years ago..
Saban is the here and now, and as great as he is now he will be passed by another College coach sometime in the future...
IMO it is simple, Saban is the greatest College Football Coach of all time based on today's standards .. even though I am a Notre Dame diehard..
I look forward to this HBO Porn they claim is about BB and Saban...
As a fellow ND fan, do you think Saban would win titles here?
I’m clouded on this. BK got us to the playoff, and a championship game but Saban is clearly a much better coach in my opinion. He also gets much better players but some of that obviously has to do with the schools they are at. I’m not convinced Saban would’ve won championships as Michigan state
I have a deep fascination with Knute and the ND box. My uncle brought it back
Yeah you’d think with all the data they have available to them, they’d be able to design some sort of algorithm for the top 25 teams.You play within the rules but come on, saban gets a top.class every year for a top school in a sport where reporters not on field play decide who's the best.
College ball is lame
