2014 we lost to ohio state who won the title. 2015 was a dog fight against Clemson. 2016 Clemson won. 2017 was a dog fight.
4 of the 5 best playoff games have involved Alabama.
Playoff games decided within one score:
2014 - Ohio State 42, Alabama 35
2015 - Alabama 45, Clemson 40
2016 - Clemson 35, Alabama 31
2017 - Georgia 54, Oklahoma 48 (2OT)
2017 - Alabama 26, Georgia 23 (OT)
Outside of those games, only one other game has been within 2 scores (Alabama 45, Oklahoma 34) which really wasn't anywhere nearly that close. The Alabama 24, Clemson 6 game felt closer.
Everyone complained about Alabama when they won the titles in 2009, 2011, 2012 - feeling that a playoff would make it more competitive.
Yes, the games were more competitive. Alabama won all 3 pre-playoff title games by 16 or more. Alabama still WON, but now you had teams with legit shots at winning (and in two cases, DID win) in those contests. Only one playoff game NOT involving Alabama has been a good game (Georgia v Oklahoma).
Everyone complaining about Alabama when Alabama has literally given them 4 out of the 5 best playoff games so far.

This is the problem. Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama, Alabama.....over and over like some kind of episode from the Twilight Zone that never ends. We've seen this show enough and many fans are simply changing the channel. That this is happening is NOT good for the sport itself and eventually NOT good for fans of Alabama football. It's no fun having zero competition to play and your program is putting the rest of them out of the ability to compete with it. So what if Alabama wins another championship to go along with the 500 others. Big deal. It isn't impressive anymore and the shine has worn off for all of us other fans. Yawn. Boring.
To be honest, Alabama, for it's own good should fire Saban if he doesn't retire after this season. Otherwise they will forever be blamed as the school that caused the end of college football. If college football ends, you and your fellow Alabama addicts won't have anything to satisfy your cravings.
