I don’t have a problem with Auburn scheduling weak OOC games. It makes sense. But I got a problem with backwards guy saying Bama does the same. Thats laughable.



Mercer
Wisconsin (5-7)
South Florida
Wku
With one was the tough one? That's laughable


I don’t think ANYONE said Bama should get in because of their OOC schedule. If they did… then they are as much of a goober as you. What the AD at Alabama said was, if strength of schedule is not going to carry anymore weight than it did in the committee’s choice between Alabama and Souther Methodist, then Alabama was going to think about not scheduling any high ranking opponents for OOC games like they have done in the past. Saban always tried to schedule tougher teams especially that first game of the year. Which is hard to do when you are Alabama because who wants to play Alabama that doesn’t have to play Alabama. No one.


And I explained to you earlier that when Alabama signed the contract to play Wisconsin they were a top ranked team. But you still ignored that fact.

It came down to this man… the committee put more weight on alabama losing to Oklahoma than it did on Southern Methodist not beating a ranked opponent. So that tells you that Alabama’s win over Georgia, LSU, South Carolina, and Missouri didn’t mean as much as Southern Methodist’s win over Pitt and Louisville. (That’s the only 2 top 25 teams they beat. They were 2-2 in top 25 opponents)
