Bear could take his and beat yours and then take yours and beat his. Even Saban can't do that and no one with a lick of sense will say Saban is overrated so there we are.

I don't agree with this statement. Bear Bryant was not overrated because he prepared his teams to win like no other. Simply flipping the chess board is not what made him great.

No, he couldn't. Bear is the correct answer. He only won maybe two legitimate championships. Technically, he didn't win any championship games. And the bowl games at the time were even bigger jokes than they are now. Many players physically checked out of college football before the bowl games were played. These days they just mentally check out prior. The rest are jokes. On top of that, there wasn't nearly the level of competition then as since the late 80's.
