Interestingly, Bama has appeared at #1 in the AP poll 140 times… 30 of those weekly appearances at #1 were under Bryant and 109 were under Saban.

Apart from these two legendary coaches, Bama has appeared at #1 just one week ever- the final poll of the 1992 season.

Not our fault that only one voter had any clue who the best team in the country was in 1992. Guy received threats for not voting for Miami when it became public.

Also it would have been unpatriotic of us to have been #1 at any point in 1945 despite going undefeated.

Wow-didn't know that! That's kinda the pont of this thread.

Yes, Bear and Nick are inarguably the two greatest coaches in CFB history.

But the rest of the SEC has nothing to fear without a GOAT on the sideline at Bama. That's just a fact.
