I said they're a top tier team. If you objectively look at accomplishments though, it's clear Bama is above everyone else. Hell, they have twice as many National Championships as USC, using the preferred choice of selectors as everyone likes to use to argue over. If you are truly being objective about it, you'd have to agree with my statement, that Bama is in a level it's own, above that of So Cal.

I am being objective. I look at more than NC's. They get the same respect from voters as Bama. When they are winning they shoot up the polls quickly just as Bama does. They get the same hype and they get the pick of the recruits.

Bama gets the slight nod for overall win % (.714 to .702)
Better Bowl winning % (.660) Bama (.592)
More Heisman winners (7) Bama (1)
More All Americans (80) Bama (55)
More Conference titles (38) Bama (27) I will give Bama the nod for being the SEC.
Claimed NC's Bama (15) USC (11)

They are on equal footing when all is said and done. Like I said there are only a few schools when winning get instant love from the voters and shoot up the polls. (Bama, USC, ND, OSU, Mich. There may be 1-2 more). Does Bama get the overall slight advantage? Possibly, but not enough of a separation to stand alone. If you are being objective of course.
