re: Wish Alabama would have played Texas Saturday instead of our cupcake

This is all setting up just like bama wants. Saban will drum it into the players' heads that everyone is saying "they don't play anyone". This will be done at a fever pitch prior to A&M and LSU, the two toughest opponents on bama's schedule.

Auburn might be a threat, but playing Oregon, Georgia and Florida is likely to take a toll by the end of the year. Might be nice to see how bama would do with that schedule.

It is to be expected the tide will not have a tough game until they are in the playoffs.
