Team rankings, according to Rivals, over the past ten years ...
2004 - 1 SoCal, 2 LSU, 3 FSU, 4 Miami, 5 Mich, 6 Georgia, 7 Florida, 24 Bama (SoCal sucked four years later. UF Gators won 2008 BCSCG)
2005 - 1 SoCal, 2 FSU, 3 Okla, 4 Tenn, 5 Nebraska, 6 Mich, 7 Miami, 8 A&M, 15 Florida, 19 Bama ... (SoCal sucked four years later, Bama won 2009 BCSCG)
2006 - 1 SoCal, 2 Florida, 3 FSU, 4 UGA, 5 Texas, 6 PSU, 7 LSU, 8 Notre Dame, 9 Okla, 10 Auburn, 11 Bama ... (SoCal sucked four years later, Auburn won 2010 BCSCG)
2007 - 1 Florida, 2 SoCal, 3 Tenn, 4 LSU, 5 Texas, 6 SCAR, 7 Auburn, 8 Notre Dame, 9 UGA, 10 Bama ... (Bama won 2011 BCSCG)
2008 - 1 Bama, 2 Notre Dame, 3 Florida, 9 FSU ... (Bama won 2012 BCSCG)
2009 - 1 Bama, 2 LSU, 3 OSU, 4 SoCal, 7 FSU ... (FSU won 2013 BCSCG)
2010 - 1 SoCal, 2 Florida, 3 Texas, 4 Auburn, 5 Bama ... (Auburn wins in same year, 2010) (Playoffs begin four years later, 2014)
2011 - 1 Bama, 2 FSU, 3 Texas, 4 SoCal, 5 UGA (Bama wins in same year, 2011) (Champion yet to be determined in four years, 2015)
2012 - 1 Bama, 2 Texas, 3 Florida, 4 OSU, 5 Stanford (Bama wins in same year, 2012)(Champion yet to be determined for 2016)
2013 1 Bama, 2 OSU, 3 Notre Dame, 4 Florida, 5 Michigan (FSU wins in same year)(Champion yet to be determined in 2017)
2014 1 Bama (a predetermined, foregone, conclusion)
So, it's a fairly safe bet that whomever has the #1 class is not necessarily going to win the championship ... and that was my point. Having the #1 class is almost like winning the Par 3 tourney at The Masters to some degree.
ETA: More years

According to your list, that's not true at all. Look at your list again, and I'll add to it.
2002 - Texas - Won a National Championship in 2005
2003 - LSU - signed by Nick Saban, and won a National Championship in 2003. Several members of LSU's 2007 National Championship were also a part of this class.
2004 - USC - Won a National Championship in 2004 and played for another in 2005
2005 - USC - Played for it in 2005
2006 - USC - First of USC's two top ranked classes who didn't play for a national championship - as noted in my above post
2007 - Florida - Won a national championship in 2008, and was good enough to win another one in 2009.
2008 - Alabama - Won national championships in 2009 and 2011
2009 - Alabama - Won national championships in 2009, 2011, and 2012
2010 - USC - USC's second no-show of a class
2011 - Alabama - Won National Championships in 2011 and 2012
2012 - Alabama - Won National Championship in 2012
9 out of those 11 classes played for at least one national championship.
8 out of those 11 won a national championship.

I think it's more like having the lead at The Masters going into day 3
Bama is one of about 10 teams(golfers) who has a realistic chance to win it all
