re: Bama vs Wisconsin

Alabama is the face of our conference and if they lose to a team who lost 59-0 last year, it will make a lot of voters rethink the strength of the conference and that perception will hurt all of us going forward.

Yeah, as much as it'd be nice to see Bama go down (or really, any conference rival), this is not the type game you want it to happen in. The SEC is 2 years removed from a title, and won't have the consensus #1 team to start the season.
We don't want to lose any unnecessary ground to other conferences, or we may end up 5th.
