Obviously da bear's is more impressive considering shorter schedule of his time.
Gotta use winning percentage as a metric to compare the two eras.
Interestingly enough, Bama played 8 conference games in 1972 and 1973. There was a lot of variability in the conference schedule back then. Some years they played 6 games. Some years they played 7. And some years they played 8.
I posted the other day that Spurrier is the only coach I know of (other than Bear Bryant) in the post-integration era to have 2 or fewer conference losses each season over a 12 year period (Spurrier's entire tenure at Florida).
I'm sure if Saban stays at Bama another 7 years he might do the same.
Florida build a statue for Spurrier yet?

They did for all their Heisman guys, I think.
