Alabama has beaten 8 teams that finished in the Top 10 since 2008. Which is still more than any other program if we're going to go with final rankings as opposed to where they were ranked at the time of the game.


If true, that's not really surprising. Alabama has pretty easily been the best team in college football during that time frame by most meaningful metrics.

As for the debate about the OP's topic. It has been kind of interesting the inordinate amount of teams (compared to most) that Alabama has beaten that were highly ranked at the time but ended up having sub-par seasons. Just one of those things that appears to be an anomaly that has persisted for a few years.
