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


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.

FSU also finished #5 in 2000. Not sure what that does to Saban's numbers if you make it top 5 finishes instead of top 4
