Both are evolving, the NFL at a quicker pace. The last 40 years are becoming irrelevant. Clemson, Ohio State, FSU all had elite offenses. The runner ups - Auburn, Oregon did too. Alabama is an anomaly because their lines have just been bigger and stronger than everyone else's. Their run game has always been dominant.
I clearly stated Defense being important, so you didn't comprehend my "theory". Of course teams like Oregon, who don't play any D whatsoever won't win championships.
The truth and my point is both win championships now, it's not just the cliche "defense wins championships" anymore.

No one is saying you don't need Offense but evidently Defense wins championships.
