Obviously trolling bait, but interesting question nonetheless. Not a Bama fan but
Based on the games I'd say
1. Ohio State 2014
2. Clemson 2016
3. (tie) UGA 2017, Clemson 2015
5. LSU 2011
6. Tejas 2009
7. Notre Dame 2012

If you mean ONLY National Title games, it is easily Notre Dame. That was the softest 12-0 P5 team in the history of the sport. They couldn't score on our starters and our offense looked like an NFL one against their defense. It was a massacre. We would have shut them out if the game hadn't been so lopsided as to have our starters pulled so early.
If you include semi-final games and conference championship games, then Michigan State comes to mind as they couldn't even score against our backups, but their defense did hold us to a LITTLE less.

Lol. A freshman qb. Was only down 3 with 3 minutes to go. Don't give me that knew we are gonna win bullshite. Yes colt going down had a lot to do with that. I still think it's a different game if he's not a pussy and goes down. But I'm not gonna sit here and cry over spilled milk. Bama beat us. Gilbert should've been more ready to go in case something happened. Like the 09 championship game. But it is what it is. We lost. Bama was the better team that day.

Easily Notre Dame, although you could probably argue that Texas minus McCoy was close to that one-sided.
Alabama was up 42-7 early in the 4th quarter against ND.
Texas was down 3, with the ball and 4 minutes left to go. Those games weren’t even close to the same.

The one I enjoyed the most ND

The word playoff was thrown in there so I wasn't sure. But it's pretty easy to figure out what I think if that one is not included.

Considering how they owned the Bahr,, I get it.

Meh, it would have been a lot more lopsided it Colt HADN'T gone out. Saban went super vanilla on both sides of the ball because all he wanted to do was not make mistakes. He threw the game plan out the window and ran the clock out.
And the answer is ND, by a mile.

Had to be Notre Dame. It was a shame that they were even in consideration.

"Well, that one penalty was unfair." And the kid to my right, no more than 9, curled up on the seat and tapped his giant blue-and-gold foam finger on his forehead, wearing a lost expression that Notre Dame fans know so well it might as well be our school logo. "What happened?" he murmured, fighting tears.
The game started, kid. That's what happened.
I felt like Carrie Bradshaw, dumped by a Post-It. By halftime, at 28 to nothing, I had two things left to hope for: that our marching band would beat theirs (we did: the ND band forming a Delorean, complete with exhaust fumes, while playing the Back to the Future theme will win every time); and that we'd score so the infernal stadium announcer didn't say "Notre Dame Fighting Irish: ZEROOOO" ever again.

Texas - No way we weren't going to win that one.
LSU - Kind of a nail biter until halftime. Once we were up 9-0 and it became *obvious* that LSU wasn't going to move the ball, it became the lowest scoring blow-out I've ever seen.
Notre Dame - Once Lacy started running at will (in the first few minutes), you knew ND had no shot.
Clemson I - When Clemson went up by a TD, I knew we were in for a fight. Once Drake scored on the kickoff return and OJ Howard took the TE pass around, you knew we had it in the bag.
UGA - When Tua came in, you knew it was over.

I knew on Alabama’s opening drive Notre Dame was in for a long night.

Meh Alabama didnt get used to spread offenses with a mobile qb until a&m bought it to the league. UT had that in 2009 before colt got hurt. Had colt not got hurt i believe that game would have turned out alot different. Im not saying UT would have won.

LSU was a game we knew we should have won the first time around. We weren't gonna miss a zillion field goals again and have a TE give up on a TD pass. We should have won like 22-6 the first time. In the Championship game, We knew we would win and it would be a pretty good battle but we were the better team. That day, nobody was really worried about winning. Maybe as confident in winning that game as say, the Texas game. Good team but they weren't at our level. Like the November game, we would have to really screw up to lose.
That game was never out of hand until 5 mins left in 4th quarter.
We were still in it till then.
