Excerpt:

The first is that, with a victory, Saban can stake his claim to being the very best coach in college football history. It would be his 4th national title in his last 8 years of college coaching: He gained in 2003 at LSU and in 2009 and 2011 at Alabama. (He coached in the NFL in 2005 and 2006.).
We could possibly suggest about whether this surge of quality surpasses longer runs of stable success by men like Woody Hayes, or whether it is as impressive as Bud Wilkinson going 51-2 in a five-year stretch at Oklahoma. We can ask yourself if the BCS has actually helped Saban: He has actually just produced one undefeated group, and the BCS enabled him a second chance at a conference opponent, LSU, in last year's title game.
