Alabama’s SEC scoring margin latest example of league dominance since 2008

Alabama has dominated the SEC since Nick Saban’s second season in Tuscaloosa.

The arrival of Nick Saban in 2007 turned Alabama’s program around and returned the team to national prominence. The Crimson Tide have captured six SEC West titles and five SEC Championship Game victories since 2008.

A recent graphic on Alabama’s SEC scoring margin from SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic really puts their dominance into perspective.

Here’s the graphic Cubelic shared on Twitter:

Alabama has soundly outscored all but one SEC opponent since 2008. The lone team to match Alabama, South Carolina, has played the Tide just twice since ’08. The bulk of USC’s scoring came in a 2010 upset of the Tide by a score of 35-21.

The one margin that Tide fans will certainly enjoy seeing is their differential with Auburn. Alabama has nearly doubled Auburn in points since ’08 while capturing seven of the last nine Iron Bowl games.
