Early regular season was pretty soft.

Helped that we ended the season with UGA.

1. I would not call that source "credible", I don't even know what that is or where they get their rankings from...I have also never even heard of that site.

2. You can't use the rankings after the SECCG, because the argument is the weak(er) schedule is what made it an easier path to get to that game over A&M and LSU.

Now, once you got there and beat UGA then of course your schedule was much harder overall by the end.

But using this argument doesn't make your regular season schedule any "harder".

No sane person thinks Bama played the toughest schedule in the country. Bama didn't play Florida and that by itself should exclude them from the title game or at least that is what I keep reading here.

No - that rating is incorrect in my opinion.

Seriously forget these lists and use common sense for a minute. How can anyone with a brain say that Bama had a harder schedule than Florida?

Bama's SOS was good enough but toughest in the nation? C'mon now that's just silly talk.

Alabama had the hardest schedule in history, and could beat and NFL team other than New England, and maybe Denver if Peyton had a big game.

Also, Alabama is the most enlightened state in the nation and have the best Walmarts.

Cheers.

I think by definition anyone making that outlandish claim is not credible.
