over 17 years:
> averaged 12.1 wins and 1.7 losses a year
> got our first Heisman winner, then 3 more followed
> won 9 of our 10 SEC championship games in Atlanta (we own that stadium)
> made CFP 8 out of the 10 years it's existed, then won 6 of our 8 semi-final games >played in the championship game 9 times, won 6 = 6 NC (3 BCS + 3 CFP)
> from 2015-2021 - in the NC game 6 out of 7 year
> throw out the first year (2007), only 1 season with more than 2 losses (and with one of most talented rosters!)
> Bryce won Heisman in 2021 (correction)

He earned his statue, that's for sure.

"May" never be equaled? LOL! I can confidently tell you it NEVER will be equaled. Without looking, Coach Bryant never had a run like Saban did. There were obvious intermissions in Coach Bryant's "runs". Sabans looked and felt like a 16-year consecutive run.

The streak of being ranked at #1 (in the AP poll) at least once during the year was unbelievable. That happened 15 straight years starting in 2008. Only two times we weren't ranked at #1 was 2007, his first year, and 2023, his last.

The other one that is perhaps even more mind-boggling is that every freshman that stayed at least 3 years won a NC ring. That streak ended this year too.

It seems several streaks got broken or ended over the last 3 years. All of them in a bad way too. Thanks to BoB and Petey.

Don't need a quick glance. We've had a hard look at the Saban Era during the past 17 years and it will never be equaled, ever! We some lucky ones indeed.
