It's not an act. No one has six games in that ending stretch to go through. Just the two back to back in the playoffs is a handful. Bama was significantly better than UGA last year but they let it all hang out vs Clemson and raw dogged the big mouth INCELS. 4 first downs for the country clowns. But they were flat for a half before getting their stuff in one sack against Georgia and it almost cost them. Throw Auburn, then Georgia in a week on top of that and see where you stand. Auburn tried playing Bama and then UGA back to back and see what happened. They got hell beat out of them by a team they played with before.

Auburn’s path to the 2017 playoffs:

@Clemson (Top 4) - one possession loss
@LSU - one possession loss
MSU - blowout
Georgia (Top 4) - blowout
Bama (Top 4) - blowout
Georgia (Top 4) - blowout loss

Alabama’s path:

LSU
@MSU - one possession win
@Auburn - blowout loss

Yikes.

You assume that these teams that backload the schedule won't be beat up or have their own issues as the season wears on. Bama has the best depth today as anyone in the nation. Further, if you are drawing parallels from last year about how Bama will perform down the stretch you don't understand what you watched last year. Bama will waaaayyy more balanced this year. We have played LSU, MSU, AU, and the SECCG every year. This year is no different.
