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

After Saban's run, yes. Before that I'm not sure Bama would be first. Even though I think they claim some superfluous titles, the 10 by my count is still more than anyone else. So again yes. Saban also coached 2 Heisman winners. That was a piece of puzzle Alabama was missing. Those 2 things alone are the difference.
