Since Nick Saban’s second season at Alabama in 2008, the Crimson Tide have been ranked No. 1 for at least one week every season.
That’s eight seasons, 98 wins, just 12 losses, three BCS titles, one playoff championship and four SEC banners in the biggest, baddest conference in all the land.

You know what we call that? Ridiculous.
Impressive as it is, what’s more impressive is this: Bama isn’t going away. The Tide have 14 starters returning from last season’s playoff-winning team and another top-ranked recruiting class signed (that makes six in a row).
