re: Can Alabama claim to be the greatest program in CFB history after this recent run?

Before Saban arrived, Bama could make a case for being number one all-time, but it required cherry picking some stats and arbitrarily deciding that the areas in which Alabama was historically strong were more important than areas in which we were historically weak.

Now, we are clearly the best program all-time. A handful of other teams can try to make the claim, but it requires cherry picking some stats and arbitrarily deciding that areas in which they are historically strong are more important than areas in which they are historically weak.
