re: Bama's Road Schedule

Alabama is arguably on the most dominant run in CFB history, at least in the modern era. Those who are jealous are now truly grasping at straws to try and explain or undermine how this dominance has happened and is continuing to happen. Only an idiot wouldn't understand how a dominant team on the level of Alabama beating teams, and destroying many of them, affects the rankings of said destroyed opponents. 2010 AU scrapping by every opponent isn't going to make them drop the way Alabama demolishing UGA in 08 or 15 will, as an example. And yes, I used those specific examples on purpose. ;-)

Not only that but this faulty analysis refuses to take seriously Alabama's 11-4 post season record almost exclusively against highly ranked teams away from home. 8 of those wins coming in conference or national title games and a 9th in a playoff game. This omission alone invalidates the entire premise of the OP. I also wonder how many of those road losses came in 2007, a year in which Saban was transitioning the program with a talent depleted roster. The results of that year almost have to be tossed out as you will never see another Saban coached Alabama team with deficiencies like that one. Alabama is good period. At home, on the road, in neutral sites and especially when there's hardware on the line. Alabama may not win a crown this year, but they will almost certainly be in the hunt as they are every year.
