This is why Ears Whitworth is the worst coach of all time. Bama was a GOAT before him in the 20s, 30s, and 40s

Oh come on... Bama was probably the greatest program in the South during the '20s, '30s, and 40s, but Tennessee at least should be in the discussion. But the obvious King of that era was Notre Dame. Everyone knows that.

NCAA recognized National Titles from 1920-1949:

7- Notre Dame
5- Minnesota
3- Michigan
3- California
3- Alabama
2- Army
2- USC

The Irish also claim the 1919 MNC, the year before the mentioned time frame began.

Bama was the regional power in those days.... slightly better than the other top programs in the region, Tennessee, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech et. al. Most of Bama's games were against these programs as well as other teams located in the South.

But Notre Dame was the big National name in college football in that day. They not only played teams in the Midwest, but ventured out to play other top tier programs from all over the country.... they played Army (from the Northeast) 28 times during these 30 years.... they played Georgia Tech (The South) 16 times during these 30 years... and they played USC (West Coast) 21 times during these 30 years.

There is no doubt the Irish were THE program of that era. No one else was close.
