As long as Bama does not run into a bunch of officials like those clowns from the 2017 Clemson game or last year's Auburn game Bama will be fine.

jimdog acts like no one else has a season to go through. These games are all about matchups and by the end of the season no one else will have the depth to counter either Bama's 3 WR package or Bama's power running game.

Bama finished first in their division, tied with AU. They lost the tie-breaker on the road, so did not get to play the East and SEC champ until later, when they played them for all of the marbles. They won the big enchilada. Bama was again the top college football team in the SEC and the United States of America in 2017.

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.

The SEC makes sure they look out for Bama.

Look at the East opponents last 8 years.

Vandy,UK and Mizzou twice.
UGA and UF once.

South Carolina zero.

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.

Bama has the distinct advantage in those last six games of not having to play Alabama.

bowes, You're FOS. The league expanded to 14 teams to take care of Alabama? GTFO. When that happened the league scheduled teams going forward based upon an extra two teams. That put teams competing against one permanent rival yearly and every other team every five years. We drew Georgia in Athens in 2015 and then again in 2020. LSU gets Georgia every five. In fact because we win we play Georgia more often (in the championship game) than any west school except their yearly rival. And Florida more than any west team except for their yearly rival. UA has had the toughest cross conf schedule of any WEST Div schools because we win numbskull! We played Georgia in 2012, 2015, and 2017 and have them again in 2020. And likely again in SEC champ game. Has LSU even played Georgia in the last 8 years? Maybe once! So you are FOS! We played UF 3 times over the last 8 years! Again you are FOS! BTW, it ain't like playing them would effect anything..our record against the mighty Gators and the Great Georgia Bulldogs over the last 8 years is....6 and 0. That's 6 w's and zero L's! Georgia came with in 3 of winning. And also got run out of the stadium. I'm not sure but the Gators were on the wrong end of 50 a couple of times I believe. LOL! We've played Mizzou multiple times since they fugged up and won the east a couple of times and then got their asses handed to them too. So the SEC runs a fluctuating, floating schedule depending on the whims of Alabama huh! AD's have no idea who they are playing til UA informs them. Get back up on that roof and get those shingles laid.
