They will have to close out the season playing a ranked SEC opponent in the championship game, then playing 2 of the top 4 teams in the country. Tell us any other team that had to do that?
THIS. I'll hang up and listen.

Well if you really wanna break it down, Nebraska only had 1 cupcake on their schedule (pacific) while bama has 3 (WKU, Kent State, Chattanooga). So the "bama is playing more games" argument kinda flies out the window.
Nebraska played a CCG as well (that's equal) then played #2 for the title, so in this comparison bama is only playing 1 extra "real" game (the playoff).
Also of note- Nebraska played 4 ranked teams that year (in 12 games), all ranked in the top 10. Alabama has currently played 3 ranked teams (14, 19, 22) with a 4th to come against Auburn. The SECCG opponent will not be ranked. By the time the championship is over, bama will have faced 6 ranked teams (in 15 games), 2 in the top 10.
