Bama has proven time and time again that SOS has no bearing on your chance of making the playoffs. Not sure why teams even schedule difficult OOC opponents at this point.

This has been my counterargument to Kirby's desire to schedule aggressive Home&Homes of late... We'll see if something changes, but thus far, the committee has basically deferred to W/L record and only looks at SOS as a secondary or lower perspective.

Alabama was an either undefeated or 1-loss SEC Champion in 4 of the 5 seasons they made the CFB Playoff (2014, 2015, 2016, 2018). So by time and time again I assume you mean....... one time?

Top 30 Sagarin Wins going into Bowls
2018 - 6
2017 - 3
2016 - 7
2015 - 8
2014 - 8

Top 10 Wins going into Bowls
2018 - 2
2017 - 0
2016 - 2
2015 - 1
2014 - 2


Alabama is 67-5 in the CFBP Era against the following schedules

2018 - #9
2017 - #27
2016 - #1
2015 - #1
2014 - #2

Alabama is 12-6 vs the Top 10 and 38-6 vs the Top 30.

LSU is 4-10 vs the Top 10 and 14-17 vs the Top 30.

In conclusion, suck balls.
