The Ohio State and it isn't even close. The main reason CBS dumped the SEC was to get Ohio State. The Alabama brand was not strong enough to prevent that.
Ohio State will still be standing tall long after the Saban era is over.

This is a good point
Before Saban, Alabama was irrelevant for 2 decades
Ohio state has had Tressel, Urban, and now Day winning at a high level with the first two getting a natty and Day having the chance at one early in his HC career

On the field
Alabama has more wins, more national titles, more bowl appearances and wins, has a winning record over every team they have played 11 or more times, has more TV appearances and has won at least one national title every decade since 1920 (except the 1950's and 1980's)
Facts not fiction......

Child, Ohio State is a pale shadow of Alabama. Even Oklahoma and USCw overshadow OSU

You are trying way, way too hard. If Alabama and OSU had identical records it would be OSU that would be watching the playoffs on TV. The fact that we're even having this discussion when Alabama has twice as many losses as OSU, in itself, speaks volumes.

The main reason CBS isn’t doing the SEC after next season is because they got out-bid.

That's an example of tOSU being the "bigger" brand. This debate centers around "prestigious", which is clearly Alabama at this point in history.

Exactly
Let’s be real
Outside of bear Bryant and Saban, Bama has not been special
Fortunately they both had long runs
But minus them Bama as a brand is mid grade
Most of the country thinks that the state of Alabama is a backwater, backwards joke.
Ohio is much more respected.
The Bama brand is only strong because Saban’s run
Once he’s gone Bama will be a NASCAR state primarily as football will fall into the background with Bama miring back into mediocrity
Maybe freeze can keep Auburn relevant however
But bama’s brand got outmuscled by The Ohio State and it’s why the Gumps are scared of Texas which is a MUCH stronger blue blood brand
