I don't know if it's so much Bama, but you have to win games against ranked teams and do it for 3-4 years in a row. One year of 9-3 losing 3 games to the only ranked teams you play isn't quite "there yet". You can certainly only beat the teams on your schedule, but you have to maintain 9-10 wins a year and pull off some upsets over the course of several years to get respect.

Keep in mind, this is the SEC rant. Even undefeated National Champions get knocked for something. You will never get everyone's respect.
