While yeah, those years were less than stellar, it's also not like Bear was losing to horrible teams either.

1967:
FSU 7-2-2
UT 9-2

1968:
OM 7-3-1
UT 8-2-1
Mizz 8-3

1969:
Vandy 4-6 (really bad)
LSU 9-1
UT 9-2
au 8-3
Colorado 8-3

1970:
USC 6-4-1 (Bad)
OM 7-4
LSU 9-3
UT 11-1
au 9-2

So yeah, Bama didn't do too great those years, but Bryant also wasn't losing to terrible teams either. Couple of bad ones. Some eh. Then some pretty good teams.
