Getting close imho. We got into and won the NC without even having to win a division first. No other program is respected that much. You think AU would have gotten away with that? lmao

you forget one important thing.

Outside of the south, very few people give a flying frick about college football.

Doesn't stop them from anointing Notre Dame every year. No seriously, EVERY YEAR!

And the ratings argument is DUMB. ESPN released that it was the 2nd most watched BCSNCG. Had it been on ABC, it would have been close to the MOST watched.

ESPN screwed themselves. And 2nd best isn't THAT bad considering the backlash against it for being all-SEC.

No. Will never happen.

EDIT: Don't want it to happen. The same people who build your pedestal will be the ones who tear you down.

Yeah, but it sorta makes you wonder why Nick Saban was chosen to be a guest announcer during the Big 12 Title game....

Yall still crying about this?

You're seriously gonna cry because you had to play a team that could beat you for the NC instead of a team that couldn't?

Look at this thread. I think it's hilarious that the only people that seem overly concerned about the game's tv ratings are auburn fans.

What's wrong with him making a valid point? Shouldn't America's team be able to bring in even decent ratings?

Like I said yesterday, the game played just fine at my house, so IDGAF if it played on another TV in America.

Too many haters, and not just those from Auburn and other SEC schools.

The entire conference has got too much hate going toward them for Bama to be "the nation's team".

In the end of the day
As with everything in life
nobody cares.

You'd be stunned if you lived in other parts of th U.S. how much they could give two shits about Alabama or LSU for that matter.
that's a fact.
You will always be a state with no major city.
and not much to offer in the grand scheme of things

You can't even win your Division. So the obvious answer is "No"
