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.

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

Coaches Thomas and Wade (both multiple NC winning coaches at Alabama) would like a word with you.

Maybe, but the educated portion knows Alabama was the birthplace of the Apollo program, has one of the top 4 research complexes in the world, and soon to be home to the U.S Space Command.

Let me see, the sum total of both those schools NC in football is still less than Alabama's total....
