Bill Connelly, of Rock M Nation, has produced a statistical comparison for Football Outsiders that ranks the best college football teams in the last 100 years. Using a metric that gauged on points scored and points allowed – the same tool OTS relies on to derive his Pythagorean Wins statistics – Connelly created a historical comparison of every team in the past century of college football.

Today, over at Football Outsiders, he reveals that Alabama’s 1961 squad is ranked No. 2. Furthermore, no less that 12 Crimson Tide teams made the list, more than any other program in college football. Here is how Alabama fared in Connelly’s rankings.

Classy guy. His political beliefs to seem to be more conservative than the liberal view of his Democrat party. He has a new book called Game On that he’s promoting.

Logically, it’s true. JoePa’s career has run its course. It’s awesome that the fans and university have been as loyal to him as he has been to them. You can’t dislike him. He always says it’s about the kids, but like Finebaum I think it’s time to accept his limitations and do what’s best for his great University.
