History suggests that when a dominating run is halted suddenly, getting back to the top might be harder than it first looks. The last time Alabama won consecutive AP championships was 1978-79 and it took 13 years and three coaching changes before it claimed the next title.
Recent examples also don't bode well for the Tide to reboot the dynasty, either. After USC's dramatic loss at the Rose Bowl ended its 34-game winning streak, the Trojans had a chance to return to the title game the following season. But they were denied after a stunning upset loss to UCLA in the regular-season finale and haven't been back since.The same could be said for the two other programs with dynastic pretensions in the BCS era—neither Miami nor Florida has been back in the title game after a sudden end to their respective runs.

You're referring to the line, but that just shows you don't understand how lines are made.
Sure don't. Any real gambler knows the oddsmakers don't care who wins or by how much as long as they get the same amount of bets on each side...they set the line to where they think this will be accomplished and sometimes it has to be moved if the betting is lopsided. Has nothing to do with how much they think someone will win by, it's what the betting public thinks someone will win by.
