It's better for college football when everyone can beat each other.

Its what is killing Saban. Since he's been at Bama they could buy classes of 5*s and they would win no matter what he done or who he had as coordinators but now everyone can buy players and poach the stars he lied to to keep away from other schools.

Couple that with having to play atleast 3 good teams per year and not have to just put one star QB out or play teams like ND that didn't play anyone and ended up undefeated, for a NC, and it's not hard to see why he's slipping. From 2008 until the NIL kicked in he had a cake walk with the talent Boosters got him compared to his opponents and keeping the talent away from the rest of the sec.

He isn't suddenly going to lose alot but he isn't backing into any more NCs until everything aligns like everyone else. His coaching ability will show from here on out.
