Joe - you conveniently forgot one on your trip down memory lane.

I didn't forget. Too much to fit on a meme. That was the time, before the time, before the last time. Man. Had to go way back. Bamas won two Nattys since then, so I think they're OK.
The next year OSU didn't even make the playoffs. Alabama won the Natty.
The next year OSU did make the playoffs and got shutout.
The next year OSU again didn't make the playoffs but Bama made the championship and lost by 4 to Clemson.
The next year again no OSU and Alabama yet again won another Natty.
