THE 63 TEAMS NICK SABAN HAS NEVER BEATEN

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK

Three of the last four national titles. One of a handful of coaches to win a title at two different schools. This is the affirmative case in the "Is Nick Saban An All-Time Great?" debate.

And this is the negative case - the 63 teams Saban has never, not once, recorded a victory over. That's nearly an entire men's basketball bracket. (For the record, if it were a men's basketball bracket, our Final Four would be Kansas, Cincinnati, Miami, and Temple. We're also terrible at picking brackets.)

A few highlights:

  • Every service academy is on this list. NICK SABAN WILL NEVER BEAT AMERICA.
  • Two Alabama schools are here as well. How can you be an all-time great if you haven't even beat every team in your state?
  • Though he's beaten Michigan and Arkansas State, Saban has no wins over New Mexico, NC State, or Nevada. That's the kind of record against wolves you'd expect from a shitty vampire.
  • Connecticut.
Look at this full list and tell me with a straight face that Nick Saban's a coach for the ages. Play Idaho already, you coward.
