Regardless, those rankings and that metric is skewed by the loss to Bama.


That's idiotic. So you really think counting FSU as playing a Top 3 team is accurate??? They were never close to a Top 3 team.

And Bama is not the only team that wins OOC games. Would Notre Dame not have been hurt by their loss to Georgia??

Yes of course.....but the point is all Bama or any team can really do is to schedule quality opponents. As you know, these games are scheduled years in advance. For example we just scheduled Miami. Miami is a good team. We assume that they will get better but we have no idea what will happen in 2021 or how Miami will finish that season.

So this narrative that you pump that Bama has benefitted from a weak schedule is nonsense. We have scheduled and have attempted to scheduled games with every quality program in the country.

And I will also add that I know for a fact that Mal Moore offered Notre Dame a neutral site or home and home. Notre Dame declined and said that they would only offer a game at South Bend. They would not play Alabama at a neutral site and they said they would not travel to Tuscaloosa. However, they took UGA up on a deal.....I wonder why?
