Well, when you put it that way!

There are two streaks that I thought we had very little chance at after the Texas game and that's keeping the national title streak alive for any player recruited by Saban who stays a minimum of 3 years and the #1 ranking at some point in the season for every year since 2008. We may not get there, but we've got a really good chance at keeping those alive.

16 straight 10 wins or more. NCAA Record.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Post-season record: 25-7

This is so impressive. I think these losses are Florida, Utah, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Clemson x 2, and Georgia. All good teams, and 5 of them were the National Champs.

13 straight 11 win seasons

 

[tusks_n_raider]

He's the G.O.A.T.... just soloing over everybody...

 

[sanjosecrimson]

13 straight 11 win seasons

I am guessing this is another NCAA record as well.

What does "on the field" mean?

It's counting wins that the NCAA stupidly doesn't count from the 2007 textbook 'scandal'.

Funny how a group with zero power can get away with that one.......

"Hey, remember that great game you saw Alabama won? never happened!"

In Saban's tenure, Alabama has won 207 games, for an average of 12.2 games per season. In that same timeframe, Auburn won 132 games, for an average of 7.8 games per season.

In that timeframe, Alabama has won 75 more games than Auburn, or the equivalent of 6.25 12-game seasons worth of wins. Over 6 seasons worth of wins. Crazy.

How spoiled are the younger fans who’ve never seen anything but the premiere program in college football? How spoiled are we all with 16 straight years of being a legitimate national championship contender? It’s such an incredible run the betting line on duplicating what Bama has accomplished would be astronomical. It’s likely never to be repeated during our lives and maybe never ever again. What a great time we’re living in.

I don't know! I read somewhere on Facebook the ACC is the toughest conference. Are you saying that's not so? (Should be blue font).

 

[tusks_n_raider]

CNS has also produced 74 All-Americans from 2007-2022

19 Were Consensus All-Americans
26 Were Unanimous All-Americans

He's had 122 NFL Draft Picks

44 Were 1st Round Picks

19 Top 10 Overall Picks

7 Top 5 Overall Picks

1 Number 1 Overall Pick

21 of those players were NFL 1st team All-Pros

11 Players are Super Bowl Champions

All of that is INSANE.

But but but.....the SEC is down this year. The ACC went 6-4 against the SEC.....beating Vandy, SCarolina twice, and Florida.

I wish ESPN would publish their analytic tool results for a hypothetical game between FSU vs Texas and FSU vs Alabama. I imagine would both would be skewed heavily against FSU.
