re: Alabama has played more teams currently ranked in the CFP Top 25

Well, before Alabama played LSU, none of the teams they'd played previously were ranked (TAMU and Mizzou entered the rankings after).

After beating LSU, Alabama played another ranked team in Miss State (sorry Auburn).

So, yeah, their schedule turned out to be a lot tougher than it looked early on. LSU's schedule was still tough, but not near as bad as it looked on paper before the season (Miami and Auburn choking).

I have to give props to Alabama. Everyone's talking about their offense (for good reason), but that defense is the reason they blow everyone away. They make adjustments better than any team in the NCAA. Multiple times, I have seen teams have success against that defense only to get shut down completely in the second half. Alabama definitely earned their way to the top this season. That's why it is so mystifying why they also seem to get so many questionable calls their way. They really don't need the help as they would still dominate everyone without it, yet they get it anyway. Doesn't matter, though, nothing anyone can do about it.

I don't see Georgia (or anyone else) beating Alabama this postseason. They just look heads and shoulders better than everyone else.
