“When the Tide Rolled, Saban Ruled!” – Honoring Nick Saban’s Legendary SEC Record at Alabama

In the annals of college football, few names resonate like Nick Saban. During his iconic tenure as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide (2007–2023), Saban redefined greatness. With seven national championships and an astonishing 206–29 record at Alabama, his dominance in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) remains unmatched.
Against SEC opponents, Saban forged a legacy of supremacy. He finished with a remarkable 137–21 record against SEC teams, outclassing even the most competitive programs year after year. He went undefeated versus Arkansas (17–0) and Kentucky (4–0), while also owning dominant records over Tennessee (16–1), Mississippi State (15–1), Ole Miss (14–2), and LSU (12–5)—even after once coaching the Tigers to a title in 2003.
Even the SEC powerhouses couldn’t escape the Tide’s fury. Saban went 10–5 against Auburn in the Iron Bowl and an impressive 9–2 against Florida. Georgia, another modern juggernaut, fell to Saban’s Tide in multiple crucial clashes, including SEC Championship Games and the 2018 National Championship.
Saban’s success wasn’t just about wins—it was about building a culture. Alabama became the gold standard of excellence: discipline, preparation, and relentless competitiveness. He produced countless first-round NFL draft picks and Heisman Trophy winners, sending waves of talent to the next level.
In January 2024, Nick Saban retired, leaving behind not just trophies, but a dynasty that shaped an era. “When the Tide Rolled, Saban Ruled” is more than a slogan—it’s a tribute to a coach who stood as the face of college football dominance.
To the King of College Football, Nick Saban: thank you for the memories, the moments, and the magic. Your reign may be over, but your legacy
is eternal.
