Bama on the other hand will drop from winning 2 out of the previous 6 down to 2 out of the previous 7.


nice spin.

As it it, though, Alabama has won 2 of the last 4 and 5 of the last 10. No other team ever has won 5 of 9, as Alabama did. For that matter, no other team has ever won 5 of 10.

2009- Alabama
2010- Auburn
2011- Alabama
2012- Alabama

2013- Florida St.
2014- Ohio St.
2015- Alabama
2016- Clemson
2017- Alabama
2018- Clemson

Yes, those numbers are correct. Just as its also correct to say that Bama has won just 2 of the previous 6. You can spin it one way just as I can spin the other.

But one thing that is not a spin is the fact that Bama was winning titles at a much faster rate at the beginning of that 10-year period relative to the rate it is winning them at the latter end of this period.

If Clemson wins the Title in 2019, there is no denying that Clemson will have overtaken Bama as the nation's premiere program. They too have now won 2 of the last 4 to pull equal to Bama. If they make it 3 of the last 4, its safe to say they are the new Top Dog.

Time will tell.
