1. 2020 Alabama (13-0)
CFP result: Beat Notre Dame 31-14; beat Ohio State 52-24

The Crimson Tide had the Nos. 1, 3 and 5 finishers in the Heisman voting. They played one game decided by fewer than 14 points. They bested an SEC-only schedule by an average of 30.2 points per game. Their defense struggled early but allowed only 15 points per game after mid-October. This was the best Nick Saban team ever and quite possibly the best of the 21st century.

Best team ... from the best coach ... with the best dynasty of the 21st century (at the very least)? Sounds like the best team of the CFP era

‘20 offense was insane!!!! Just imagine the numbers had we gotten 2 more regular season games!!

It’s hard to even argue against that 2020 team. My goodness!

 

[SnakeFan]

Agreed. That’s why I said Mac would win a Super Bowl before Jalen or Tua. Was I wrong

I always felt like the 2011 and the 2016 team that lost to Clemson were the best teams he had. Hard to bet against the 2011 defense but I viewed as his best defense the 2016 team. They held up strong until they had to play 100 plays in that game. The 2016 defense scored a lot of points then with multiple special teams touchdowns as well.

Uh, ‘11 didn’t lose to Clemson. Didn’t even play Clemson. You talking about the ‘18 team with Tua at QB?

Sentence structure may have been poorly done but I was not saying 2011 team lost to Clemson. The 2016 lost to Clemson in the game that was in 2017. CNS's best team w/o a NC.
