Maybe so but at the same time they have literally been saying Saban/Alabama's run is done after EVERY SINGLE LOSS since Johnny Manziel came to Tuscaloosa and put on a show (Bama won another NC that very same year of course).

Then it was Gus Malzahn's offense showing that the game had passed Saban by. Then it was Hugh Freeze's Ole Miss teams winning back to back showing that Alabama was no longer elite.

Now I guess it is LSU again after a 5 point loss.

Eventually they will be right and this elite run of Alabama will be over, but you'll have to understand if the fans that have been hearing that since 2012 are going to take a wait and see approach.

Nobody except Clemson has shown that they can sustain against Alabama for multiple years and even Clemson has really only showed they could trade blows for like a 4-5 period so far (they do look like they have their own consistent "dynasty" type run going though).

This was a HUGE win for LSU and maybe it does signal a changing of the guard. But we have heard that before.
