re: Bama's 2020 national title...let's clear the air.

2020 Alabama was a machine, a machine that could compete with anyone anywhere in any era based on the players on the field.

This is a completely subjective opinion. The best teams have the best resume. Bama did not in 2020. You have the dubious priveledge of defeating the least impressive championship contender in the history of the sport in 6 win Ohio state. Hey, you guys won every game. I’ve got no problem saying your title is legit. Saying you’re one of the best of all time? Nope, you need to play the best and face the best. Sorry 2020 you didn’t do either.

What gives the Greatest Generation their moniker? Oh well they won the 2nd world war. The greatest war ever. Some dipshit didn’t just anoint them they were the best generation bc it’s his stupid opinion. If you want to be named the best you need to beat the best. I didn’t make the rules.

Games played in half empty stadiums, opt-outs and Ohio State was a six win team at the end of the day. To be honest I have no beef with calling it a legit championship. A season was played and they were clearly the best team of the season. My issue is when these Bammers try to elevate them into the greatest team ever discussions. Winning the title against a six win team is some 19th century BS

It’s incredible anyone argues with this. It’s a title. The season was played. Greatest of all time? Get the frick of out here.

No they don’t. That is a ridiculous statement. There are tons of examples of teams with crappy resumes beating the hell out of teams with much better resumes.

So you’re saying 2019 LSU being listed as one of the greatest teams of all time has nothing to do with how many ranked teams they defeated? Or beating a Clemson team that had won 29 straight games and was the reigning national champ?

Or defeating (12-2) #4 Georgia by 27 points, #4 (12-1) Oklahoma by 35 points, and #2 Clemson by 17 points in the SEC championship, Semis, and national championship game , respectively. I mean those 3 games alone are more impressive objectively than the Tides entire 13 game schedule in 2020.

And you’re saying a team being judged on the caliber of teams they play and defeated has nothing to do with being named the GOAT? Lmao ok dude.

I am not saying it has nothing to do with it. But it is mainly based upon the eye test and the insane amount of talent they had on the field. People think they are great because of how they looked. They aren’t thinking about the number of ranked teams they played, margin of victory, or even who all they beat. They remember watching them and thinking “wow, this team looks like one of the best teams ever”. The NFL draft and NFL success - fair or unfair - also influences it. I typed “best college football teams of all time” into Google and this is what it spit out.

The Top Contenders

1995 Nebraska Cornhuskers: Finished 12-0 and won every game by at least 14 points, destroying No. 2 Florida 62-24 in the Fiesta Bowl. Many experts view them as the most relentlessly dominant rushing attack and team ever.

2001 Miami Hurricanes: Finished 12-0 with a national title, featuring an absurd 38 future NFL draft picks including Ed Reed, Andre Johnson, and Clinton Portis. They gave up only 9.4 points per game.

2019 LSU Tigers: Finished 15-0 running an all-time offensive juggernaut led by Heisman winner Joe Burrow alongside superstars Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson, setting an FBS record with 726 total points.

2020 Alabama Crimson Tide: Went 11-0 in an all-SEC regular season schedule, steamrolling opponents behind Heisman winner DeVonta Smith and quarterback Mac Jones

For the most part they don’t talk about resumes, they talk about the players they had. All those teams had a ridiculous amount of talent on the field.

If your argument was correct, that teams with better resumes are the better team, the Big 10 would not have won the national championship the past three seasons. Because some of those teams had much softer resumes than teams they beat.

Interesting sample size

It was an impressive win but it's not like Alabama has ever been known for its "home field advantage." There are many more stadiums in the SEC more infamous for their crowd noise than Bryant-Denny.

Thanks for proving the point that BDS isn't this super hostile environment for away teams like all the talking heads and video game people hype it up as

Defeated 6 top 10 teams and the 3 of the top 4 teams by an average of 4 touchdowns.

2020 Bama
Defeated an Ohio State team in the national championship that won 6 games.

Just bc you don’t choose to include essential details doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter you fricking moron.

The only people that I know who were butt hurt about that team was LSU fans. They thought no one would ever surpass their alleged GOAT team from the year before. All we did in a pandemic shortened season was play 13 straight Power Five teams, 11 different SEC teams and manhandled two legendary programs in the playoffs.

Did I mention we won every damn offensive award except for the TE award which deservedly went to Kyle Pitts. I’ll also say to this day DeVonta Smith is the greatest wide receiver in college football history. He wasn’t like Jamarr Chase who sat out the season for the draft.

2020 Bama and OSU combined for seven first round draft picks and 20 overall picks the following spring. (19/20 played in the championship.) Whether they played 6 games, 12 games, or whatever, beforehand, that’s a lot of talent on the field.

For reference, 1995 Nebraska and Florida (in the infamous Fiesta Bowl) combined for just one first round draft pick and 12 overall picks.

1995 Nebraska and all of their opponents combined had just 2 first rounders. 2020 Bama had/faced 11 first rounders, 2019 LSU had/faced 18 first rounders, and 2025 Indiana had/faced 14 first rounders (16 if you count Oregon twice).

1995 Nebraska also only played 12 games. 2020 Bama played 13, 2019 LSU played 15, and 2025 Indiana played 16.

Yet no one criticizes 1995 Nebraska for the low number of games played and the lack of NFL ready talent they faced - or had - compared to other GOAT contenders.

You literally just said resume didn’t matter at all in your previous post lmao. Now it’s “well it didn’t matter that much.” Unbelievable.

---

Correct, in head to head match ups resumes do not matter.

When people are evaluating “best teams” resume does matter, but it isn’t all that matters as you are arguing.

You said the team with the better resume is always the better team. Actual results show this is false. Don’t try to sidewalk, I mean sidestep, your earlier statements.
