It is more than saban, it is the sec. Look at the "premier" program and coach in the sec saban and alabama. Beat Colorado, beat texas whos starting qb when down the first drive or so, beat michigan state, beat lsu - sec team, beat ND who had no business in the nc game. lost to Utah, OU and Ohio State. Bowl games outside of sec teams he is 3 and 3 at alabama. Texas and ND were not that strong got beat by utah who was a nobody, OU we are screaming for coaches heads that was tamped down with the win and losing to OSU with a third string QB. They hang their hat on winning in the sec - go outside of the sec and they really struggle.
