Bama had the tougher schedule this year

...because of the SECCG. That gave a pretty mediocre schedule a huge bump. Of the six elite SEC teams, Bama had only played two, three after the SECCG. Kansas St could've used the same kind of bump from a CG as well. The difference in schedule quality was the CG.

The lack of a title game hurt their resumes. Same with Okie St, who probably DID have a tougher schedule than Bama, but could've used an extra game to make the difference more emphatic.
