ALABAMA or MIAMI?
Alabama from 1961-1979 is similar to Miami from 1983-2001.
Of course, Miami had the thuggish way of life (not bad) and had a new attitude that was born in the college game.
Alabama in that time period (19 seasons):
- 1961 National Champions
- 1964 National Champions
- 1965 Co-National Champions
- 1966 Undefeated Season (#3 in polls)
- 1973 Co-National Champions
- 1974 Undefeated Regular Season
- 1978 Co-National Champions
- 1979 National Champions
Miami in their time period (19 seasons):
- 1983 National Champions
- 1985 played for national title; played for title
- 1986 Undefeated Regular Season; played for title
- 1987 National Champions
- 1989 National Champions
- 1991 Co-National Champions
- 1992 Undefeated Regular Season; played for title
- 2000 Played for a shot at split title had FSU won NC
- 2001 National Champions
- 2002 Undefeated Regular Season; played for title
Take your pick on the better 19 season stretch!
Also note; both Bama and Miami had bad seasons in those time frames mixed in with all the great seasons.
I didn't bother with the wins and losses totals.
Alabama won 6 national titles (only deserved 3); Miami won 5 national titles and deserved all 5 even though they are criminals.
