All this BS over LSU/USC and no one stopped to mention that LSU was a dynasty as well:

LSU
Years: 2003-2007 (5 years)
National Titles: 2
Top 5 finishes: 4
Avg AP Rank: 5.2
Total Record: 56-10 (84.4%)
**4-1 Bowl record (3-0 BCS Bowls)

Also, as impressive as Bama's run is, and it is that, one thing about it that has always seemed to fall a bit short of some of the other runs imo is their lack of a great win streak.

Isn't the longest streak under Saban like 17 games?

Look at all the other "dynasties" and they all have runs in the high 20s and even into the 30s without a loss, except Florida.

The ability to put together week after week of winning performances for extended periods of time with the target of every single team giving you their best shot is something truly special imo, and the one piece of the puzzle that keeps Bama from jumping Miami in the modern era imo and keeps USC right there with them.

Of course, if Bama continues this run for another 3-4 years after this, even if they continue dropping a game every year, it won't really matter, as the longevity will outshine the lack of a truly great undefeated streak imo.
