re: Why do the majority of you think Bama is on the decline?

I don't think Bama is declining.

I think the only place to go for a team that has won 3 of 5 BCSNCGs is down. Even NOT making it to the BCSNCG last year was a "decline" over the previous 2 seasons. By the literal definition of decline, Bama did decline last year. That doesn't mean they are going to be horrible.

I think they are staying still while Auburn and Texas A&M are surpassing them

At what point in the history of either of those programs have they consistently surpassed Bama? Not a knock. Both are very good programs (AU being better than A&M, of course), but to say A&M and AU are "surpassing" Bama means you think that both of those teams will do better than 72-9 in their next 81 games while winning MORE than 3 titles. Ain't happening, bruh.

(I will say that A&M and AU are both programs on the rise and both appear to be in great shape to be perennial top 10 teams for years to come...along with Bama)
