When you look at Alabama's resume, it isn't spectacular.
- Beat shitty Louisville
- Beat Ark St
- Stomped a lousy Miss team
- Beat A&M didn't cover
- UL Lafayette
- Awful Arkansas
- Beat Missou 39-10
- Beat Tenn 58-21, another average at best SEC team
- Beat LSU decisively
- 24-0 against a good Miss St team
- Citadel
- Auburn
The SEC is down this year. They need to win this game. If they lose, I can see them not making it.
When you look at quality wins, other teams have just as many if not more.
If we're going by the eye test, which is the main reason people pick Alabama, then the eye test keeps ND out too.
