Nah, Saturday Down South had already settled it.
And when it was all said and done, with Alabama having finished penning Chapter 13 of Joyless Murderball and singing yet another verse of “Rammer Jammer” in the home of the Miami Dolphins, it became increasingly clear that this 2020 Crimson Tide team earned something even more than another ring.
Those teams are worthy of the conversation, sure. But what none of those teams had was the offensive firepower that the 2020 Tide did, the heart that the 2020 Tide showed in sweeping through the SEC gantlet without a single significant player loss due to COVID-19, and the passion the 2020 Tide required to run the table despite a gigantic bulls-eye on their back.
The strongest top-to-bottom conference in college football develops national championship contenders every season, but even the incredible performance put forth by LSU in 2019 somehow felt different than Alabama did in 2020.
The job was done. A team can’t win any more games than that, and hasn’t won them all more decisively than this team did.

You beat a team for the natty that played 7 games before you played them. You played 2 teams ranked in the top 10 in the regular season. Most teams had their best players sit out that year.
That 2020 was good but let's not pretend it was one of the best.
