Difficult ? I say it was the easiest in Tide History, and not due to talent. When one team is depleted due to Covid and the other team is almost 100%, those games usually do not last beyond midway thru the 3rd Quarter. We are not even talking talent differential.
The same conditions and obstacles were present for all teams. Dealing with them and being prepared to deal with missing players and staff made this season much more difficult than others.
Hell, Saban even missed coaching a game, and then had to miss 2 weeks of practice total due to a false positive costing him a week.
Besides, which opponents were so badly down that could have beat Alabama? Kentucky? Would you say that was worse than say...an FCS win?
Ohio St had a decent number out, but hardly depleted.

Any other reasons you can list out ???

The difference here of course is that none of these teams got to pad their win column with 3-4 cupcakes like last year.

Most of the teams didn't give a shite about the Bowls, that is why so many players chose not to play.
Auburn chooses not to play in every bowl game, so what’s the difference?

So fricking what? That's what happened THIS year. Don't try to base your argument on things that would have happened in a regular year. It's almost like you're saying this was an odd year for college football, no?? We're talking about what actually happened, not making shite up. Go back to my post. I knew some dumbass would bring the "3 cupcake" argument up. What ACTUALLY happened is that 7 of bamas "vaunted" SEC schedule finished at .500 or worse. That's a fact.

Nb4 "add 3 cupcakes and the records will be better"
Sure let's literally make shite up that didn't happen, because that's how you prove points
You just look like you are too dumb to understand basic math and that by default, conference records even out to .500 EVERY year. It's the OOC games against G5 and FCS teams that raise teams records.
Here's what those records likely would have been by removing 2 SEC losses and adding 3 G5/FCS wins(I'll leave the P5 opponent that the SEC usually wins out).
Mizzou 8-3
OM 7-3
UT 6-5
MSST 6-5
UK 7-4
LSU 8-3
Ark 6-5
Which btw is about what was expected for many of these teams.
Overall the SEC was up this year, as the bowl record showed. LSU took a seat back, but look at what their record would have been if you add the cupcakes. P5 win and it's 9-3 which is about what LSU fans expected.

Is any of this Alabama's fault?
Nope but Bama doesn't get to claim the best every with that crappy schedule.
These two teams schedules are not even in the same hemisphere

So Irons thinks Bama was full strength. Yeah ok.

What do you mean so what? That’s the entire difference. No cupcake games in 2020, sorry if that blows a hole in your argument

Rantards last week: If Bama loses, they'll cry and say this season doesn't count.
Rantards today: Bama won but this season didn't count.

Neither do you since you didnt play a healthy Tua.
Sad you'll die knowing that 2019 season will always be overshadowed by an asterisk. Lmao.

How can you call this season anything other than an Exhibition when only 66% of the regular scheduled games were played ? It is like Jacksonville going 4-0 in the pre-season and claiming they are the best in the NFL.
So if the NFL played a 10 game schedule then played the playoffs, you would argue the Super Bowl champ wasn't legit?

Maybe, maybe not. You don't know because the games didn't happen.

How do y'all not understand that the lengths you are going to in order to compare this year to a normal, non COMPLETELY frickED year, are literally just proving the point that this was a bullshite season??
Do not confuse that with me discrediting bama as the best this year because my God, no one was fricking close to them and their title is good in my eyes this year. It's when you have to literally "remove 2 SEC losses and add 3 G5/FCS wins" in order to try to remotely compare 2 years, that's the problem. You are making shite up to try and rationalize your point.
It's not working

Do yourself a favor, and get someone with at least a modicum of intelligence to proof read your post before sending them.

You seem really upset. So much so that you can't accept the logical point of view the above poster provided bringing up the absence of FCS/cupcake games.
'Bama beat the #2, 4, 5, 7th and 13th ranked teams in the country.
'Bama dealt with the same issues as every other team this year.
'Bama dominated. End of story.
That's great you see the Tide's title as legitimate, but to say the season they played was watered down or matters less than those previous just doesn't stack up as a valid argument.

So, so desperate.
Tell me again how Harsin was Auburn's only target all along. It might make you feel better.

Bama played every SEC team except for South Carolina and Vandy. When a conference plays only conference opponents not all teams can be above .500. Actually half will be above or at .500 and half will be under .500. Bama played 6 SEC teams at or above .500 and 5 under .500. Math pretty much makes this how all SEC schedules ended up.

Never said and you can not find a post where I even hinted at it. I gave the list of the first few days of the search, I never even suggested who would get the job. Go ahead a spend the next three hours trying to find it. Your buddies have.
