Remember when we were dead and buried back on September 20?
2013
1) The Sugar Bowl Loss To Oklahoma Was The End....
Tonight was the last night of the Alabama dynasty.
That doesn't mean that Alabama will never win a national championship, or even that it will be a long time before they do. The smart money is on Nick Saban winning at least one more before he leaves Tuscaloosa.
But the period when Alabama towered over the college football landscape, when it lost five games over the course of four years, when its name began to carry the same undertones in college football that names like the Yankees and Patriots have at times held in their respective sports -- that time period is over. Alabama is now is just another college football team. A very good team -- one of the best. Just not one that seems unbeatable

1) Some Idiot At SB Nation on August 20
Armed with this understanding of history, it seems a certainty that Auburn's unthinkable Kick Six has been the jolt to the system required to break the spell of Saban. It doesn't get any more unlikely than winning a game with a play that has only been made 4 times in the 144 year history of the sport - and had NEVER ended a game.
2) Colin Cowherd After the 2014 Ole Miss Loss
Now they beat Texas A&M like that, well Texas A&M is atrocious defensively. They're beat up, they're young and they just played poorly. They played back-to-back tough games and that's hard to do at the college level. Yeah, I think the dynasty's over. I think they'll win a lot of games. I think Alabama will lose one, or maybe two games the rest of the way and I feel strongly about that."
