re: Has Alabama and Nick Saban set the bar too high?

Yes, they actually have. Nick Saban has ruined football for all but one fanbase. Everyone outside of Bama fans can agree that it was more fun to watch when there was more parity. But then again maybe a lack of elite coaches plays into this. We only have two elite coaches in college football right now, maybe three or four if you want to count Dabo and Jimbo.
