They've lost 2 of the last 3 Nattys. Should Clemson be considered the new dynasty? What is your definition of a dynasty?

Not UGA football.

2 of the 3 isn't a dynasty. Hell, lots of teams have done that, and better. Alabama has done that several times and wasn't considered a dynasty, as far as I know.
5 of 10 is a dynasty, unprecedented since at least the 19th century. Whether it is over or not remains to be seen.

Overall, yes the program should be considered a dynasty stretching back to Coach Bryant's time. The program dropped off a little but regained its place under Coach Saban.
Other programs that were on that path like Nebraska, USC, Notre Dame have never recaptured their spots at the top of college football

True but they've WON 2 of the last 4.

We'll let you know when you would be qualified to even enter the discussion.
No. Not yet.

In sports, a dynasty is a team or individual that dominates their sport or league for an extended length of time. Do you consider 3 years an "extended length of time"?....me either.

Bama’s won two of the last four, five of the last ten.
So you think a dynasty is three years?

The system in the past made any dynasty harder. Look a Bama's NC the last 10 years:
2009: Undefeated
2011: Would have played in the Orange Bowl. LSU would have played in the Sugar Bowl for the NC. You do not lose at home in November under the old system.
2012: See above. You do not lose at home in November.
2015: #1 going into Bowl Season.
2017: Would not have played in the NC Game, ranked #4 going into Bowl Game.
Think what FSU under Bowden could have done in the CFP system. For 10 straight year everyone thought they were the best team in the country at the end of the season.

If it's so easy these days, why hasn't Auburn come even close to doing it?

And one could just as easily argue that Bama would have been the champions under the old system in 2014, 2016, and 2018

Yes.
If 2 titles in 14 years is a dynasty then they're sure as hell still on one.

Wait, they lost 2 of the last 3?
shite. That’s embarrassing.
After crunching the numbers, that is more national titles losses than ANYONE in America! Wow.

Bowden played in 5 titles games during that span and only won 2 of them.
