so they lost close home games to a pretty good LSU team and Manziel.. it happens.

It's hard to go unblemished. A lot of perfect champions benefited from tremendous luck or easy schedules.

Alabama has played some of the weakest schedules in their OOC and conference schedules of any SEC team the past 6 years. Let's not act like they played more than one legit top 10 teams outside of the SEC.

2008 - Clemson finished unranked, they lost to Utah.
2009 - Virginia Tech just makes top 10 with 3 losses.
2010 - PSU finished unranked.
2011 - PSU finished unranked, and no SEC CG.
2012 - Michigan was unranked in the coaches poll.

Fact remains Bama has been on an impressive run and has been a great team. They have won 3 NCs, and it has been great. Fact is they haven't played schedules like their opponents have during that time.

which means there is plenty of doubt about it being the GOAT run.
