Alabama has been able to figure it out better than everyone else, mostly thanks to Saban, but they really aren't solely to blame.
The whole system is set up to make the sport boring. 130 FCS teams and 100 of them are eliminated of winning it all before even playing a down. Of the remaining on any given season no more than 6-7 teams have the talent to win it all. Those 6-7 teams come from a list of the same 10-11 names.
Unless you are a fan of one of those programs College Football is boring AF.

You just need to go sit down at a roulette wheel, pal!

Kudos to them for gaming the system to pool all the talent onto 1 team
How have they done that?

It sucks to admit and Alabama doesn't need to apologize for it but it's definitely true.

That's way too easy. 1992 was the first attempt College Football at having some sort of final... with an evolving system. I did this quickly so it may be off a bit but off but since then:
NFL: 18/32 (56%) of teams have won a Super Bowl
College: 12/130 (9%) of teams have won a National Championship. That includes a couple of splits! Only like 2 or 3 additional programs have even played for one. It's always the same teams.
I'm not an NFL guy but c'mon. Even College Basketball and Baseball, sure there are dominant programs but we've seen some surprising teams win it all or at least play for it. LSU was a “surprise” winner in 2019 and it was the preseason #6 team. That shite is boring.

It's like that great country song said best: Sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug." I'll be the first to admit, for the rest of the SEC, it's not much fun always being the bug.

First off, no one has ever used “quality” when referring to Baton Rouge.
Cancel Culture/SJW nonsense has damaged all sports ratings. Look at the NBA - shite ratings now.
Also, some people are tired of Alabama being awesome every year, but that’s on them. If people hate excellence, then so be it.

Did UCLA late 1960's - Early 1970's ruin college basketball?

You're using stats over decades and decades. Hell, if you take college football back far enough, you'll see Army, Minnesota, Yale, Harvard and Princeton as multiple winners!...same for the other sports.

That stench you smell wafting over college football is ESPN/Disney corporate model. They basically have a formula for everything, from Star Wars, to the NBA, super hero movies, college basketball, etc. If it feels like college football is movie directed by J.J. Abrams, it's because that not too far from the truth. Front-running media narrative is all ESPN knows how to do. It's like literally there entire "journalism" philosophy and really the only way they know how to cover sports.
