2020 CFP National Championship: Alabama vs. Ohio State
If you don’t think that 2019 LSU was the best college team of the last decade, chances are your pick is this Alabama squad instead. The 2020 season was marred with all sorts of irregularities and controversies thanks to the COVID pandemic, but it’s hard to argue with just how talented on both sides of the ball this Tide squad was.
Their final margin of 31 points again broke the record of the largest margin of victory in the CFP era, erasing the ignominious record that the Tide themselves had set a few years earlier.
There was really no competition for the best team in 2020, as Alabama smoked every single team they played outside of a surprisingly close game against Florida in the SEC championship. Mac Jones and his cadre of receivers made for a near-impeccable offensive unit, and there was no defense equipped to stop them in the nation.
