Yeah . . . That's why I started by saying he overstated it. In the end, no matter how good you are or other people think you are, it all has to play out on the field. Everything else is just dudes guessing about things they can't prove (which according to @Freak is a business model).
When it's just one team sure, but give me the Bama/LSU.
Honestly every year that Alabama has won it they seemed like they pretty clearly were the best team. Even the year they lost to Clemson with DeShaun, I think Alabama was the better team. LSU was clearly better than everyone else, including Alabama, in 2019. That is one of the greatest CFB teams ever assembled, and probably the best CFB offense of all time. It just felt like a surprise because nobody was really picking them to win it all before the season started, or even win the SEC, and let's be real...nobody thought Coach O could win a title. But they were very clearly the best team.
But I'm not arguing about the best team always winning. There can be multiple dominant teams. In the years I mentioned either team was a complete team, and looked like a championship team. They gave the vines of a championship team.
The last several years, I think football (both college and pro) has gotten more like basketball. A single player can affect the game more than they used to. In football, that player is always a QB while in basketball it could be a variety of positions.
Regardless, I actually agree with you if by Washington "not being impressive" you mean they aren't as deep, or supremely talented across all positions, as some other teams. I think that's accurate. I also think it doesn't matter as much as it used to because the game is so QB-centric.
