What in the name of participation trophy is going on here? Of course its national championship or bust. It should be.


No, it shouldn't be. As an old school Alabama fan who came up before the advent of the BCS, the two things I cared about most in a given season were the following:

1) Beating Auburn
2) Winning the SEC title

Winning the national championship was definitely an added bonus but defeating the archrival and winning the conference always came before a national crown. Why? Because this began as a regional sport. Only in recent years has it become nationalized and emphasis has been placed on winning the national championship.

Undefeated in SEC play with a young team and massive turnover in personnel plus two new coordinators. Started out shitty, played in the third to last game of the season. This just doesn’t happen at other programs. Saban is the GOAT, and this season may have been the greatest testament to that fact.

Yeah and I don't know when you came up but Bama fans have always been chasing a title every year and that was before the BCS
