With a team like Alabama, there really is no motivation to play a hard OOC schedule anymore. The GOAL is to get in the playoffs to win the NC. So playing a hard OOC team is only risking getting a loss or injury with little reward. Bottom-line, Alabama wins their games and they are in the playoff. Don't do the committees job for them by playing a team with little reward from it. Look at Georgia, they have a seat waiting for them in the playoffs next year. People can bitch about their schedule all you want, but they are 2 wins from a NC.

I’ve been telling my buddies this same thing. If TCU can play that awful schedule take a loss in the championship game and still make it we just need to play sisters of the poor schools ooc from now on. The sec west is hard enough on its own.

Wrong. Within the 12-team CFP, strength of schedule affects the teams' ranking/seeding. The top-4 seeds get quarter-final byes and the semi-finals at their home stadiums. So, it's smarter to schedule decent OOC opponents who have winning records to beef up your strength of schedule.
