Any set of stats, when enough filters are applied, can look bad or good. When you start applying all those filters, you start sounding like baseball guys:
He's batting .398 with runners in scoring position and 1 out on a full moon with a batboy named "Kevin"

Here's another way to look at it:
In December and January, since 2009 Alabama is undefeated.
That's wins over 13-1 Florida, 13-1 Texas, 11-2 Mich State, 13-1 LSU, 13-1 Notre Dame, and 12-2 UGA (of which most of the losses all came at the hands of Alabama - only two came to teams not named Alabama).
That's 4 teams that ONLY lost to Alabama.
Like I said - any set of numbers can be manipulated to say what you damn well please.

It's the toughest division in CFB the last 5-7 years
5 BCS Champs come from the West the last 7 years
Not to surprised really, especially with the grind
I think Bama is 11-2 against top 10 teams lately and this is what wins you Title games. Plus, not losing to inferior teams like a 5-6 Iowa St or even SC losing to a team like Tennesse this year hurts bad. These kind of loses kill your chances for anything. There hasn't been a CFB champ since like 1950 something that's lost to a team with a losing or .500 record. I think some act like they've never watched CFB before or there's a bunch of youngsters here.
