at what point is "all time record" rather meaningless? In other words, would you rather have an all time winning record of 70-30 over a team (but having lost the last 30 straight) or be 30-70 and having won 25 of the last 30?
To tie in with that, how would you define the modern era of football? A rolling "last 25 years"? The point at which scholarships were limited (70s) which evened the playing field?
At what point does the past become irrelevant?

its simple.
if you lose to a team that you have a winning record against all-time, you shove it in their face....see UGA fans in the 90s/2000s with Florida fans.

Post-segregation objectively makes the most sense, IMO.

There is nothing actually 'relevant' about college football, and therefore there really isn't anything 'meaningful' about it. It's just entertainment. So you can pretty much just pick whatever timeframes you want - all are equally irrelevant.
...Can someone please make sure that the fans in Alabama get this message?

I would define modern college football as 1950-present. 1950 is a nice round number, plus it is the start of the 2 poll era.

Depends on whatever time frame makes you look good and the other guys look bad, tbh.
For me, personally, I don't truly care much about results/records that predate my own date of birth. To me, there's no point in exulting over successes or mourning defeats that were before my time. Jmho, though.

Then what was the point of being a Bama fan when I was growing up?

I grew up with a kid whose dad used to be the kicker for Alabama. He was the one who missed the extra point against Notre Dame in the '73 Orange Bowl. We mocked him relentlessly even though it happened 20 years ago...
