The Bear would have trouble with the media of today. If you are asking which was/is better in their own era then you have a good debate brewing. I say if Saban wins one more you may to give him the nod. Several of Bryant's NCs were split. But then you have to reconcile 13 SECs. I don't think anyone will ever approach that again. Think about how impossible that would be even if you compensated somehow for the extra 4 teams.
It might be debated for the next 100 years.

Bryant did it in a different era. I'm no college football historian by any means but what Saban has been able to do with the SEC at its best and particularly in this division is remarkable. He's had a few breaks go his way during the route to some of those titles but his success during this era in the conference is incredible with scholarship limits and league parity.
