Alabama’s dynasty and college football

quote:

---

Clemson is a threat to repeat history.

---

not even remotely close to true.

-For starters, saban is the best coach in cfb history. Dabo aint.
-You ARE correct in that clemson plays a schedule of 12 nobodies so unfortuantely are given a free pass to the playoffs every season which sucks. During bama's run though they were doing it in a much tougher conference, which just shows that those teams were head and shoulders the best team in amercia most years. You can't say the same for clemson
-Here is the important one though. Bama during their run has done it in a ton of different ways. They've done it with a ton of different QBs, some all-timers and some that were simply game managers. How many different bama QBs have won a title during this run, like 6? They've done it with running and defense (most of the run), they've also done it with prolific passing offenses (lately). They've shown they can adapt and win titles in a number of different ways. Clemson on the other hand has won titles on the back of 2 of the best QBs they've had in their history, 1 of which is THE best QB in their history. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying those "don't count" or aren't impressive or anythign like that. I'm simply saying when you've got deshaun and lawrence back to back you should be expected to make the playoffs and win big. The only data we have on dabo without an elite all-timer of a QB in clemson history he has been pretty average tbh. People forget the first SEVEN yeras of his tenure at clemson he averatged like 4 losses per year.

quote:

---

If they win this year it’s 3 out of 4

---

that's a big if, and they aren't winnign this yera. And even if they DO luck up and win, 3 out of 4 is still not really approaching 5 out of 9 that bama did.

quote:

---

will be the favorites to win it nest year with Lawrence in his junior year.

---

debatable, and again them being facored a year in advance has nothing to do with the topic

quote:

---

Then that #1 recruiting class will be sophomores which includes the #1 pro style QB out of California who is big and almost as highly rated. That class also includes 5 star defensive lineman.

---

once again, irrelevant. Lots of people recruit well

quote:

---

I think that is a threat.

---

sure, clemson is a threat to be a good team if you're playing against them. They aren't a threat to match the greatest dynasty the sport of cfb has ever seen like you're suggesting.

The playoff format makes it easier for a team like Clemson, who plays in a shite conference, to get repeated shots at winning the whole thing. Bowden and FSU would have been regular playoff participants if the format had existed back in the 90’s, and who knows how many they might have ended up winning? But the voters punished them for their soft schedules and kept them just on the outside looking in most years.

quote:

Bowden and FSU

---

At least Bowden has to play Spurrier every year and the occasional good Miami team. Dabo literally plays no one.

Yeah, Dabo has a straight line to the playoff every single year for the next decade. Nobody else has that kinda schedule set up outside of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma plays a far stronger schedule than Clemson every single year. Most years they play a top program OOc too UCLA just happened to be terrible at this point

quote:

---

Actually FSU and Miami need to step up and give them some competition in conference

Excellent point

BUT COACHCRISP DONCHA KNOW BAMA WAS CHEATIN FER ALL DEM WINS? GONE HAVE TO VACATE BLAH BLAH ETC. ETC.
