Show me another college football dynasty with only 1 undefeated season and 3 conference championships. Sorry but Bama is not special the rules of being a dynasty don't change just for you.

What are these rules of being a dynasty of which you speak? Only 3 teams in history have won 3 National Championships in 4 years; all 3 have been widely perceived as a dynasty (by the media/analysts, not just fans).

Notre Dame ('46, '47, '49) went undefeated but had one tie in '46 and they never played in a bowl game (their choice). They were matched up once against the #1 team (they were #2) in the middle of the '46 season and tied Army, 0-0. While the most respected poll, the AP, voted ND #1, several other selectors (the UPI wasn't in existence yet) chose Army as #1.

Nebraska ('94, '95, and '97) went undefeated in all three seasons. These were the days of the Bowl Coalition Alliance (pre-cursor to the BCS) and the PAC-10/BIG-10 did not participate. The '97 championship was shared as Michigan won the AP poll and Nebraska the Coaches poll. Only in '95 did the top 2 teams in the nation square off in a national championship game as the Huskers throttled #2 UF that year in the Fiesta Bowl (the '95 Nebraska team may have been the best of all time).

Alabama ('09, '11, '12) only went undefeated once but they were the only team of the three to have championship game match-ups between the top 2 teams in the nation all 3 years.

Not saying Bama was better than those 2 schools during their respective stretches...but 3 championships in 4 years is awfully rare and, while it's not the only measurement for a dynasty, should easily qualify as one.
