Bama has a nice run going. But it sure isn't a dynasty.

In order to be considered a dynasty you must first dominate your competition over a period of time. How can any Bama fan think for one second that they are dominating their competition? You aren't!!!

For you to have dominated your competition then you sure the hell would have more than one conference championship over the last 12 years.

Hell, the SEC West has had 3 different winners the past 3 years, so Bama hasn't even dominated a 6 team division.

Be grateful for your current run, but quit the ridiculous talk of a dynasty.

And yet all of that is irrelevant in the face of two BCS titles in the last three years, not to mention 48 wins over the past four seasons and a Heisman winner to boot!

I admit I misused the word "dynasty" but this is interesting to me... What is everyone's definition of dynasty in this era in which we live?

As it stands, Alabama lost a close one at home, was clearly #2 behind LSU, and dominated the championship game.


big whoop. LSU won the game of the century/won the division/won the SEC/finished undefeated in regular season/ Bama ties us and gets the Crystal Ball/then smashes it on the floor

Karma is a bitch, see you in Miami?

1 conference title in 12 years. When does it begin?



Does Alabama's '99 SEC title no longer count?

The beginning of the dynasty began in 2008, not 2000...so those numbers are irrelevant.

The conversation is about a "dynasty". Again, who has Bama dominated over the past 5 years? They sure as hell have not dominated their conference foes. So, how can Bama be considered a dynasty when they aren't dominating anyone?

Lsu has been right there during Bama's so called " dynasty run", LSU beat Bama in 2010 and 2011. Bama has not been the only dominant team during your "run"

LSU has been stout to be sure, but in the same time frame, Bama has two crystal balls and lsu has none. That's huge.

That's really the question. It was discussed a bit ago. I think it was generally agreed that the type Coach Bryant had is pretty likely not to come again. If I remember right 3 #1 awards in 5 or 6 years was pretty well received.

Bama has won the NATIONAL title two of the last three years. I guess that means we're dominating the nation. That is the ultimate goal of a football season right? To win the NATIONAL title?

I agree with the 3 title criteria in a 5-6 year period... Bear Bryant was a greatvcoach, but he greatly benefited from the era in which he coached... Especially regarding scholarship limits

No one is arguing that Bama hasn't accomplished a lot over the last few years. Bama is on a great run!!!!

But, this thread is about one word: Dynasty

A Dynasty is when one team is clearly superior and is clearly dominating their competition over a specific period of time.

That, Bama is not doing.

The SEC has had 4 different Conference and 4 different National Champions over the past 5 years. With this simple fact, how can anyone think that any one team is dominating right now?
