Look, I know Bama's SEC schedule was extremely favorable.
So was Auburn's.
Auburn played Mizzou and LSU twice. They played the Top 4 once each.
Yet Auburn went 7-11. Five of those seven wins are over the bottom three. The other two were Bama.
I'm more confident that a team who finished 10-8 against a weak conference slate will take the next step than a team that finished 7-11 against a similarly weak slate, especially since said 10-8 team is adding a Top 5 recruiting class.
One of these young teams is bound to take that next step. My money is on Bama. Yeah, a lot of that hinges upon Sexton being good right away, but he has good players around him so he should be set up to succeed.

What does Auburn have to do with this?
You predicted Bama in your fake power rankings at #3 and based a large part on their team this year.
Their team next will be drastically changed from this years strengths and relying on FR to contribute a significant amount
