They've had the best team money can buy for decades, but this is getting ridiculous.

USC was the best team ever too....... then Texas beat them in the rose bowl and they weren’t even champs

As long as Saban sticks around, I don't see them going anywhere. There will obviously be a better team every once in a while, but they will be a constant at the top of the mountain for the foreseeable future.

Much like Oklahoma in the 70's.

The 1995 Cornhuskers were the best team I've seen coached by Tom Osborne, they averaged 53 PPG and completely dismantled a formidable Gators team. 

 

But no doubt what Saban is doing down there in Alabama is mind boggling.

Which game and which century? They're have many games billed as the "Game of the Century" in my memory, and that sure doesn't cover a century.

Oklahoma v Nebraska 1971 would be my guess

 

I was not yet alive, but it is all I have heard about since I can remember as being the game of the century.

Very compelling argument.  I stand corrected.

NFL: SB champion gets last pick in draft. Team with most losses gets first pick

 

NCAA: National Champion and other high-ranked colleges get the cream of the crop of recruits. 

 

So it’s likely to stay this way for a long time!

[NYWayfarer]

Of course, it’s where Joe Namath played. 
 

Special place in my heart for Alabama because of Broadway Joe

Don't forget last year's LSU team was sensational, too.

 

As long as Satan stays at Bamasux they will always be in the hunt for the national championship. He is a good talker to the parents and kids; a proven winner; and Bamasux has fantastic facilities. Plus the fact that between LSU and Bamasux they send many kids into the pros each year.

 

But wait! There is backroom talk of having the Power 5 schools break off from the NCAA and start their own association of Power 5 schools, only. This will mean that Bamasux will no longer be able to play Mrs. Butterworth's Cooking School; The School for Unwanted Children; and the Graves Diggers University any more but have to replace them with other Power 5 schools. No schedule padding, although the FCS and Division II schools are upset at this situation as they want the $$$ to play the Power 5 schools.

 

Then there is the talk of expanding the playoffs to 8 teams as right now only 4 teams get to play for the championship which means the other 126 teams play for fun and money. Some coaches have said to cut the regular season schedule and let all 130 teams play, like the NCAA basketball tournament, but I can't see 130 teams play at the end of the season. Some coches have hinted we need 32 teams in the playoffs but not the entire 130. Maybe 16 at the most, giving more schools the opportunity to win the championship and creating a lot of interest in the playoffs and lots of TV revenue for the schools.

 

Now back to Satan. Some people hope he will jump back into the NFL but I don't see it. Urban Slumlord Myers will take his shot at being an NFL coach when the majority of college coaches that have tried to make this move have failed. Pete Carroll, Jim Harbaugh, and Jimmy Johnson have been successful. The other 24 have had mixed bags of success with the majority of them retiring or returning to college ball after they were fired or quit. Remember Satan leaving the NFL and going to Bamasux as he could not cut it in the big show.

 

So look for Bamasux, Clepsom, the Ohio State Numb Nuts, the wonderful LSU Fighting Tigers,  the Notre Dame Popes, the Texas Chokers, and the Oklahoma Also Rans to be favorites each year to win the National Championship. As I pen this reply on January 19, 2021, Las Vegas odds makers have already picked Bamasux to repeat as champs this coming season.

 

Time will tell. Stay tuned. Changes are coming down the tracks. Should be interesting.

C'mon Sam, the big teams don't really pad their schedules, the little teams need

the money and exposure.  No one "in the hunt" wants to play the semi-pros and ruin

their season early.

Agree. The "little schools" are very concerned about the split off of the Power 5 schools.  They may want an agreement for each of the Power 5 conferences to allow their teams to play at least one smaller school each year and not pad their schedule with push overs to keep the alumni happy.

 

But LSU played Texas early last year and it was a fantastic game. 

[basscrusher]

Alabama played only SEC schools this season.  That's stout.

[fishinfiend]

Roll Tide!

 

Bama > LSwho

They were great this year but not the greatest ever. Defense wasnt near one of their best ones. We got 46 on them to keep it somewhat close anyway.?
