“By conventional metrics, McCarron is not going to elevate eyebrows. He will not often throw for 300 yards, the way, say, Manziel, Oregon’s Marcus Mariota and Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater will. He’s not a dual threat.

“Then again, if you want to build a case for McCarron, you could do worse than starting here: He has as many national championships as he does defeats.

Well, of the 15 covers published preseason or during a season, Alabama has a 12-3 record in games that followed. That includes an 11-game winning streak after losing three straight in the Bear Bryant era.

...

Since then, it's been all Alabama.

The 11 straight wins came by an average margin of 40-12. They include the 2009 SEC Championship win over Florida (32-13) and the BCS title win over Texas (37-21) a month later.
