FEI Final Ratings
For the last decade, Alabama has held steady as one of the most consistently dominant programs in college football history. It isn't just that they claimed five national championships in that span, or that they played for the championship on two other occasions, or that they have finished the season ranked in the top five, if not top two, nearly every single year under Nick Saban. Their status as the top program in college football from 2009 to present has been supported by what they had never done as much as it has been supported by what they had done. They never suffered a dominant loss. Until Monday night.
