Alabama has finished top 4 the last 15 years? pretty sure that is false.

but Ill give you that the bama streak is prolyl better overall, but its not the same kind of streak. and you havent been playing 2 top 10 teams out of conference every year.

You havent traveled OOC to play a top 10 team in a long time.

Ranking is just a weird way to look at it imo. All that matters is wins, losses and championships

Nick Saban (2008-2020)
Record: 163-17 (.905)
6 National Championships
7 SEC Championships

Bobby Bowden (1987-2000)
Record: 152-19-1 (.884)
2 National Championships
9 ACC Championships

I'm not trying to deride Bobby Bowden but to call FSU the 'best run' just isn't true.

Neutral site games have killed this for us. I hate them, but the last top 10 OOC opponent (regular season) was FSU in 2017, but was neutral site.

Top 4 finishes for each team (AP only):
Alabama - 9 out of past 13 (2008-2020) or 9 out of past 14 if you prefer
FSU - 13 in a row (1987-1999)

2-loss season count:
Alabama - 3 2-loss seasons outside of top 4
FSU - 5 2-loss seasons within top 4

Context is always important.

FSU 13-season stretch:
5 2-loss seasons
8 1-loss seasons
1 undefeated season

Alabama 13-season stretch:
1 3-loss season
4 2-loss seasons
6 1-loss seasons
2 undefeated seasons

More or less identical, except for those 2-loss seasons being outside the top 4 for Alabama and being inside the top 4 for FSU.
