Dabo has won one Championship since the portal was implemented on October 15, 2018.
Here is a fun fact:
25% of the teams who do not use the portal have won a championship
3% of the teams who do use the portal have won a championship

Facts is facts. Just because you don't like them does not make it any less true.***

Are you sure of those figures?

I am absolutely sure those figures are not correct if you dig really deep. For example Dabo has technically used the portal, but generally speaking… yes it’s close. From another post someone said Army, Navy, Air Force, and Clemson have not used the portal. So with 128 teams in FBS:
1 / 4 = 25%
4 / 124 = 3%

Here is a fun question: are the posters who blast Dabo for not using the portal the same people who blasted him in 2010-2014 for the way he recruited and managed his roster?

Shades of the JUCO angst crowd as well from the day. Same grief - different verbiage.

The transfer portal was introduced on 10/15/18 so that would have been the 2019 class and Dabo has won zero natties in the portal era.
100% of the teams that have won the natty since have had a least one portal starter; the reverse is irrelevant. It’s like saying only 3% of the teams that use helmets have won a natty in the portal era
LSU Burrow et al
Bama Landon Dickerson
Georgia too many to list
Michigan Olusegun Oluwatami - Outland trophy winner

Totally agree, it’s like saying Dabo hasn’t won a National Championship because he hasn’t used the portal. Correlation doesn’t imply causation.

The only thing you can say with 100% accuracy is that no one has won a natty

In the portal era without gaining significant on field production from a player who transferred in. Spin that however you want.

Can't say that either... LSU won the National Championship in 2019 without a starting player from the Transfer Portal. Joe Burrow transferred as a "grad transfer" in May 18, 2018 before the Transfer Portal was implemented. So, I guess we are both "technically" wrong since Dabo has taken 2 portal transfers, but I love the back and forth.

We need some alternative facts to settle this.
