didn't do much between 1992 and Saban
Didn't "do much" between 1992 and Saban relative to winning 4 Championships in 10 years like they have under him... sure. But to say they "didn't do much" is a bit of a stretch.
From 1993-2006, Alabama spent 125 weeks in the AP Top 25. Clemson spent just 68 weeks ranked in the Top 25.
From 1993-2006, Alabama spent 45 weeks in the AP Top 10. Clemson spent 7 weeks ranked in the Top 10.
From 1993-2006, Alabama spent 22 weeks in the AP Top 5. Clemson spent 4 weeks ranked in the Top 5.
If you take just Final AP Rankings between 1993 and 2006 to see how the programs of college football ranked in terms of AP Poll Points (25 pts for a 1st place finish, 24 pts for a 2nd place finish, etc.), this is how it all shook out:
1. Florida State- 229
2. Florida- 226
3. Ohio State- 208
4. Nebraska- 192
5. Miami- 184
6. Michigan- 182
7. Tennessee- 166
8. Texas- 160
9. USC- 145
10. Penn State- 143
10. Kansas State- 143
12. Oklahoma- 140
13. Virginia Tech- 138
14. Auburn- 133
15. Georgia- 128
16. LSU- 127
17. Alabama- 104
17. Wisconsin
19. Notre Dame- 96
20. Colorado- 95
21. Oregon- 87
22. Washington St.- 71
23. Texas A&M- 70
24. Iowa- 63
25. Louisville- 58
Where's Clemson? You'll have to go all the way down to #46 to find them. Right below Northwestern and TCU, but slightly ahead of Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
Congrats.

that is only b/c a past Clemson president and athletic director undermined the football program when they fired Danny Ford.
again, record and conference titles and national ttiels are not proof that there is more pressure to win at Alabama than Clemson and other places. that's just Alabama fans doing marketing.
bama also had a lot of wins vacated, something Bama fans never talk about
