Are the marquee victory on Alabama's schedule. I know that the SEC isn't as strong as,say, five years ago but to me that isn't completely accurate. Winning at LSU at night when LSU still had something to play for is a much better victory than an early September game in a neutral site against a PAC 12 team who started the worst QB in the last 25 years for that program. McElroy does his best to be pragmatic on topics of Bama and I get it. Like Herbstreit with the Buckeyes. But I still think the SEC is slightly better than the PAC. I dont think it is better than the Big Ten but it is much closer than people think.

I don't think it really matters who the first place loser is.

They are currently the highest ranked opponent that Bama played this year. It's not that much of a stretch.

At the end of the day today, USC will be the highest ranked out of all of Alabama's opponents.

No win in the SEC is something to claim this year.
Sorry, but not sorry. Everyone had issues, whether self inflicted like firing your coach in September, or was besieged with injuries like Auburn.
USC just simply wasn't ready to play.

I agree. The QB change has been great but people underestimated their defense that really gelled.

They also have two future high picks at receiver. That was a much more impressive win than people want to give Bama credit for.

Alabama commonly wins at night in Death Valley.

Why not?

I don't think he is saying that USC is playoff caliber. He's just pointing out that USC has had a decent year.

LSU, AU, Florida, Arkansas, A&M, Tennessee seem ok, but not reliable.
