The Lede’s still high on Bama. How do you vote in our college football picks contest?

This is an opinion piece.

There’s a difference between being an elite program and being in the midst of a dynasty.

Alabama has won at least 11 games for each of the past 12 seasons. That’s elite.

Clemson has won at least 10 games for each of the past 12 seasons. That’s elite.

But the Crimson Tide’s loss to Texas and the Tigers’ loss to Duke has fans questioning the direction of each programs. It’s all an overreaction. Alabama and Clemson are each still favored to reach their conference championship game.

The only dynasty claim these days belongs to Georgia. But there’s nothing wrong with being elite and in championship contention.
