There's no denying Alabama is a blue blood, and once upon a time, that gave certain programs advantages over other schools.
That started fading away in the late 90's and blue blood programs like Nebraska, Notre Dame, and others floundered as they couldn't live off of their brand any longer.
Some, like Ohio State, are still elite programs but don't have any real advantage over any other elite program now.
Alabama is now squarely in this camp.

What is different is that Alabama is squarely in the top recruiting area of the country. Even though Coach Saban retired, Alabama's class still ended up at #2
Dispute it if you want, but Alabama is special in football
