The schedule thing is a bit over played, thought I at times will troll with it.
Reality is simple...Auburn is named after a city and not a flagship. It needed the games against uga, UTk, Florida and bama in its development to make its mark.
bama like it or not has always been the cash cow of the conference and in years past games with MSU and Vandy, etc...were always set to help the profile of those teams. A rising tide, floats all boats. There is a reason bama played Mizzou the first year after expansion.

Something most other fans don't get. A tough schedule doesn't mean jack unless you win. Alabama should get some measure of credit when they are pointed to on other teams' schedules as being a tough game and thereby making their schedule stronger.
Also, if FSU hadn't played Alabama this season, their QB probably doesn't get hurt and they probably would have challenged Clemson for the ACC title. I'm glad the committee is very rational and knowledgeable about the game.
Like it or not, there is something to the fact that over the last 10 years a lot of teams go into the toilet for a game or two after just playing Alabama even when they're having a down season.
