re: Strength of Schedule

It's all good sarc. You have the teams in the champ game and the butthurt others who try and criticize and rationalize as to why things are so. You are in, I am the butthurt other.

Some of you are way, way too consumed by strength of schedule issues. If it is that important, then why not just schedule four top 5 non-conference opponents, beat 2 of them, finish 8-4, and declare yourselves a top 5 team?

Oregon and Florida both have a higher SOS (Florida by a land slide) and both have 1 loss.. why is Alabama ranked higher than either of them? Strength of schedule and quality wins should be the deciding factor when ranking teams. Same amount of losses vs a harder schedule should equal a higher ranking. The reason it does not, as teams like ND, USC, and Alabama understand.. is because of media hype and money.

I'm willing to listen to a logical argument that favors Alabama being ranked ahead of Florida right now.. it can't be made, but I'm willing to listen to someone try.

I would love nothing more than to see Slive fired, the BCS disentegrate, the NCAA assemble a play-off based on conference champions..

And your lack of a response will be taken as a sign of admission that a logical argument cannot be made

I'd be pleased if LSU was in the same situation.. backing into the BCS with the weakest resume of any contender.. I'd take it any way I can get it. LSU doesn't have the benefit of the SEC-office hand crafting a schedule to benefit them like Bama does.
