They don't. Bama may be just as good this year. DeBoer took a 4-8 Washington team to 11-2 his first year, then the national finals his second.

Bama had some players leave but they also signed some good ones and still have one of the top 3 rosters in cfb. Time will tell if DeBoer can recruit anywhere close to Saban levels, but Bama will still be good or even better the next year or two.

OM is top 12 good but not anywhere close to Bama or Georgia levels.
