After all the talk about schedules, Alabama played the toughest nonconference opponent of the top 5. With auburn as good as they are, it's funny to be able to say our schedule is markedly better than the two teams likely to play for it all.

Can we get some love from LSU now?

I think the case could be made that Washington State is as good as Virginia Tech.

A full 8-month insane meltdown about our easy schedule, and it all ended up being wrong. They gotta be so embarrassed. But don't expect the rantards to admit it.

va tech may have been the toughest ooc game of the top 5, but the real issue is that not nearly enough good OOC games are being played.

by everyone.

Whatever makes you feel better.

Hell, let's just say your team played the hardest schedule in the country, NFL included. Hope that makes you feel better :tardnana:

Really? Bragging about Virginia Tech (who lost to Duke), Ga State, Colorado St, and Chattanooga?

UGA and USC both played Clemson who I think is the best of the bunch for the top five schools this year (top five being: Auburn, MU, Bama, LSU, USC)

The best non-conference opponents played by SEC teams this year were FSU (who beat up Florida), Oregon (who beat up Tennessee), and Oklahoma State (who beat up Mississippi State)

Seriously. You really think anyone other than Tennessee has a right to brag about a tough schedule this year? One of the toughest in the history of college football?!

Well, UGA and UK have the second best bragging rights regarding schedules but damn, using manipulation for Bama to be able to claim something?! That Iron Bowl loss has gone from a deep bleeding wound to outright gangrenous.

Your schedule is not even close to as difficult as Auburn's if that is what you are arguing
