re: Alabama plays at a higher standard than everybody else in college football

they have undoubtedly been the best team so far this season

disagree, Oregon and K-State have looked just as dominant in every game. Oregon against a similar SOS and K-State against a tougher one.


Reality is Bama's schedule has been fairly soft compared to the rest of the top 8 or so teams. They have Miss St(who had the 112th SOS going into the Bama game) and a 3-loss Michigan team to hang their hat on. Bama is a great team, but they aren't the only team to be dominant in every game this year. Reality is Bama's "dominance" is a product of the equity the SEC has built up over the past 7 years. Truth is if this exact Bama team was around in 2004 they wouldn't make the championship game, similar to the way Auburn didn't make it as an undefeated.


All that said, I believe Alabama would beat Oregon and K-State if they played, but I also think LSU, Florida, and S.Carolina would as well. I am not sold on UGA's defense so not sure about them. That's just me though.


With regard to articles like these, just chalk it up to Bama is the flavor of the decade. They are the USC of early 2000s old football power that is good again, shits gold and does no wrong. At the end of the day, LSU is still 3-3 against Bama under Saban and if we win Sat. we will have won 3 of the last 4.
