Yes, the 'when' in the title is purposeful. Rather than if, when the Alabama Crimson Tide beats the Indiana Hoosiers in the Rose Bowl, it will not be Alabama's greatest Rose Bowl win. The bar is too high for it to qualify as the best. Alabama winning one hundred years from the date of Alabama's first Rose Bowl will be monumental, but not the best of alltime.
Any Indiana fan who has stumbled upon this claim of an Alabama win will no doubt label it delusional. So be it. What was delusional was a Christmas morning tweet by an Indiana fan that said with three more wins, at 16-0, the Hoosiers would be the greatest college football team of all time.
