Also...since 2008, Alabama has finished #1 in total defense in the SEC every season, as well as has finished Top 5 in the nation in each of those years.

There are also only about one or two good offenses to be found in the SEC in any given year. And while our defensive stats don't look nearly as good against them, we more often than not hold them well below their season average. Take Auburn for instance. Yeah, the defense got pushed around, but they still held Auburn 100 yards below their season average. Texas A&M got the better of that trend in 2013, but not in 2012. We held them to 140 yards below their season average in that loss at Bryant-Denny.

Bama plays basically the same teams that Auburn does. So you're basically admitting that Auburn's D has been a dumpster fire for the last decade.

In 2011 and 2012, Alabama's schedule wasn't any easier than Georgia's yet observe the difference in the rankings. Georgia's the only SEC East team that's consistently had a formidable offense recently, and 2012 Alabama held them to 21 points.
