I'll throw in that 2007 Arkansas game, as it was the first time in a long time, that Alabama showed enough metal to go out and win a game on the last play, as well as doing so as an underdog (that was McFadden/Felix Arkansas team).

You're right.

That game was played when winning the conference was still a really big deal, especially against that Florida team.

Alabama sent Urban Meyer to the Emergency room and brought a Heisman winner to blubbering tears, all in the same night.

That was indeed the beginning of the dynasty.

I remember thinking that Bama loses to Arkansas 2007 had Saban not been the coach. I don't think previous Bama teams would have had it in them to finish that game.

2008 Clemson.

Came in as a fringe top 25 team, but the product on the field looked night and day from 2007. Alabama looked like a different physical entity. Everybody looked BIG and FAST. I remember Terrance Cody making a big play early on and they were physically overwhelming Clemson. Tommy Bowden's Clemson looked like they didn't belong on the same field. They looked like LSU's 2003 team somewhat; big.

Whatever was on the field wasn't no 24th ranked team in the country lol.
