Why does Bama get so much attention?

Alabama is a blue blood of college football. Certain teams get attention even when they are down.

Even during this somewhat arbitrary time frame that you picked, Alabama still has 4 consensus national championships.

Not sure any other team has that many in that timeframe. Miami maybe? Few teams have that many in their entire history period.

Teams that win a lot of national championships tend to get a lot of attention. Particularly when you are talking about one of the top 5 college football programs of all time.

ETA: Plus you are posting this during a time when Alabama has clearly been the most successful team in the country during the last 6 year stretch. And you are asking why they get attention? Doesn't seem difficult to figure out.
