re: Bama's "dynasty" was nearly a 10-3 team

only a handful of MNC teams this past decade made it to that game undefeated, 2010 AU, 2004 USC, 2005 UT, and 2009 UA.

If you look at any MNC team, even the undefeated, rarely do you find one that dominates all other teams, there are usually a few games where they played poorly or barely got by against another top team.
