      No. Alabama has had elite defenses and lost to Johnny Manziel, Clemson, and Auburn in the past. QBs have put up points against Bama like Kyler Murray. They aren’t as good due to key injuries and losing players to the draft year after year but nobody “feared” Bamas defense.

      @@AuburnFanSince2010 Recruiting ranking placement is overrated, if Alabama continues to be top 5 at the very least they will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. Their biggest issue is their revolving door of coordinators and position coaches who keep getting promoted because of Alabama's success WHICH mind you they have been overcoming throughout the duration of Saban's tenure. A season where they went 10-2 and lost their Heisman candidate, national championship winning, 2 time SEC champion quarterback is not the end.

    So when Max say that's the end of Nick Saban era, he's talkin about that's the end of Nick Saban winning National Championships because he know that's what Alabama does
    win Championships.
    People that are Alabama fans and not, people just expect Alabama to never lose.
