Alabama's football team, under Nick Saban, has experienced a drought without a national championship, marking the first time in 17 years. The 2021 recruiting class may be the first under Saban to go four years without a national title. This drought is the longest under Saban, with the last championship won in 2020. Both Alabama and Auburn lost their only postseason games for the first time since 2014. Alabama's current three-year drought is the first since 2006-08.
Alabama has now gone 3 straight years without winning a national championship for the first time since 2006-08.
First time since 2014 that both Alabama & Auburn lost their only postseason game.
Crazy but true: Alabama is now experiencing its longest drought without a national title under Nick Saban. Saban's Tide had gone no longer than three years without a title entering today. Tide last won the CFP in 2020.
Great stat by @ESPNStatsInfo If Alabama doesn't win a national championship next season, the Crimson Tide's 2021 recruiting class will be the first recruiting class at Alabama under Nick Saban to go four years without winning a national championship.
Look, facts are facts and Alabama hasn’t won a national title since Auburn hired Hugh Freeze.
For the first time in Nick Saban’s 17-year tenure, Alabama goes three straight years without a national championship.
