Finishing the season undefeated and beating Ohio State 52-24 to win the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night had some Alabama players feeling as if they'd made history.
"I think we're the best team to ever play," Alabama quarterback Mac Jones said.
Jones, who threw for more than 4,000 yards on the season and won the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's top QB, cited the team's 10-game, all-SEC regular-season schedule.
The league adopted the conference-only slate in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There's no team that will ever play an SEC schedule like that again," Jones said.
