It seems like most of the national press is ridiculing ND for poor play. This suggests that they believe ND should have been competitive or that they were other teams (i.e., Georgia, Oregon) that would have been competitive. See most of the headlines, they are written from from a ND prospective ("Notre Lame"). What the national press is not doing is not praising Alabama for being one of the great dynasties in the history of sports (ditto for SEC in football). Have you seem any "Wow Alabama" headlines outside of Alabama?
My take, only an NFL team was going to be tough for Alabama last night. Anyone else was getting run off the field last night. What Saban is doing comes along once every other generation. And what he is close to doing is taking over for a legend (Bear Bryant) and becoming an even bigger legend. Has that ever happen in any sport before? What we are witnessing is truly special.
You're in the middle of it, is this what you see?
