If Alabama finishes the year 15-0, they will have a .904 winning pct since 2008

Let me put it in perspective how difficult it is for a program to have a .900+ winning percentage over a nine year span.

The last Division 1-A team to accomplish that feat was Oklahoma from 1971-1979. The dynasty Canes teams from the '80s and early '90s fell short. The closest they came was when they had a .898 winning percentage from 1985-1993 and 1986-1994. Florida State under Bobby Bowden also fell short. They had a .896 winning percentage from 1991-1999 and 1992-2000. Everybody knows about dominant Nebraska was under Osborne in the '90s. The best winning percentage they have over a nine year span was .895 from 1993-2001. There were also the Chris Petersen Boise State teams. Remember how dominant they were against their competition? The highest winning percentage Boise State had over a nine year span was from 2002-2010 and 2003-2011 when they had a .898 winning percentage.

So how rare is it for a team to have a .900+ winning percentage over a nine season span? 1971-1979 Oklahoma was the last time it happened. Before that, you have to go back to the Oklahoma teams under Bud Wilkinson. They did it from 1947-1955, 1948-1956, 1949-1957 and 1950-1958. And before that, you have to go all the way back to Notre Dame under Knute Rockne. They had a .900+ winning percentage from 1916-1924 and 1919-1927.

Yes, that's how rare it is to have a .900+ winning percentage over a nine year span. It's only happened once over the last 58 years and seven times over the last 100 yeas. If Alabama goes 15-0 this year, it really should end the debate of the greatest college football dynasty and greatest college football coach of all-time.
