Saban & Alabama Were Very Lucky

Imagine this alternate timeline where just one moment changes each season:
2009: Colt McCoy stays in the game and Texas beats Alabama.
2011: Oklahoma State does not lose to Iowa State and reaches the national title game.
2012: Georgia scores a touchdown at the end of the SEC Championship Game.
2015: Alabama fails to recover the onside kick, or Jake Coker misses the long third-down pass to ArDarius Stewart.
2017: Nick Saban stays with Jalen Hurts and never puts Tua Tagovailoa in the game.
2020: COVID never happens.
Change just these six moments over 17 years and the Alabama dynasty is non-existent.

So who magically wins the title in 2020 in this scenario?

Yeah the first couple of drives in a 3-0 game definitely proves the outcome. Oh wait, how did the Oklahoma game turn out last week?

You can say that about any game.
If Brooks makes the grab from Young shortly before the pick-6 play, maybe Bama goes on to tie the game and win it and UGA doesn’t have their first championship in 41 years. If OSU hits the FG at the end of the game, UGA doesn’t go back-to-back.
The plays happen, not because of luck, but because of God’s providence. Bama has their dynasty.

You could change 5 moments and add 5 titles that they didn’t win to the list of the ones they did.
