1926 Rose Bowl.
It brought southern football in general and Alabama football in particular to the national stage.
Bama has won at least one conference title in every decade since.

You said that Miami wasn't feared like they were after their loss in 92. I really doubt that

You must be young. As much as I hate hyperbole in fandom, he is probably right about this. There was nobody more hated and feared in the history of football than Miami during that decade or so. Including when they were good again in 2001. They were a team full of punks, thugs, and freaking incredible athletes. They were better than you, and they made sure you knew it. It didn't even matter who they hired as a coach - Schnellenberger, Johnson, Erickson - he was going to win a national championship or two and you knew there was no way to stop it.
Except for one game during that run (before the end on 1/1/93). Tennessee beat the living shite out of them in the Sugar Bowl in 1986, and, honestly, set the stage for Majors/Fulmer, and their greatest era since Neyland.
Has no one mentioned that game yet? What Tennessee fan doesn't consider that a program changer?

As I said before, you must be very young. There is a reason that there is a 30 for 30 documentary covering Miami in that decade, and not one covering their 2001 season.

5 pages and no Bama fan has mentioned Bama-USC in Los Angeles in 1971. That was truly a program changing win, on multiple levels.

Yep....that was Miami's high water mark and tDecline began that night in NOLA

Really? That was a pretty tame game day atmosphere

And considering only bama fans think this, I still doubt it

He's not saying the 92 NCG wiped Miami off the map.
But it was definitely the end of an era.

I was to lazy to look at detalis but Spurrier in his first couple of years surely had a win or two that put UF in the map and stayed there for a long time.
UF's win over Bama in '90 at Tuscaloosa.
I don't think many realized at the time the fun-n-gun that Spurrier would unleash on the SEC over the next 11 seasons.

Yea. And then they came back and were the most feared program in college football again

1989 IB was a program changer for Bama.
AU owned Bama at the time and that game was AUs 4th straight win over Bama and 3rd consecutive SEC championship.
It showed Bama that AU was definitely the dominant program and Bama was lil brother. So Bama cleaned house and brought in Stallings to try and compete again which he did .

Nothing like they were in 80's through the early 90's.
I won't debate the merits of that 01 Miami team. One of the best teams to ever take the field. And yes they had a good run there for a few season, which came to an end when Ohio State squeaked through with a win aided by a very controversial PI call.
In the 92 NCG Bama-a distinct underdog- curbstomped a very talented Miami team, bringing an end to a decade long run that included 83, 87, 89, & 91 national titles.

Once again, only bama fans are thinking this

Just because you weren't old enough to realize what was happening, doesn't mean it didnt take place.
Actually, from the manner in which you're completely dismissive of the significance of that game, I'm fairly confident that you weren't even alive to witness the event in question. And if you were, you were wearing diapers at the time.

When every single person here but bama fans agree that the game ended that era but did nothing for their early 2000 run, I'm OK with doubting
