re: Is Saban really the best though?

Clemson has had the easiest path to a Natty the last 6 years, they play no one in the regular season.

Florida State should be putting up more of a fight, and the winner of the other division should be tough. No one except Clemson has been consistently pulling their weight.

You could say the same about Oklahoma. Maybe one other Big 12 team is doing alright on any given year, and they've made it to the playoffs four times, and have only made a game of it once. Their weak schedule really shows when they hit the other playoff teams.

But they're both gauntlets compared to the Pac 12. They're so bad, they can't even get one team to separate itself from the pack. It's just clown fiesta in that conference.
