Myth: Alabama played a substantially weakened SEC because of Covid


Facts:

-The SEC had a record setting 65 Draft Picks in 2021

-Alabama faced or had on their roster 51 (78%) of those draft picks. When adjusted to remove teams that Alabama did not play, Alabama faced or had on their roster 51 of 60 draft picks (85%)

-3 of those 9 players missed playing Alabama for reasons other than Covid. Meaning that Alabama played or had on their roster 51 of the 57 draft picks (over 89%)

-Candyass LSU opt outs made up 4 of the 6 Draft Picks (67%) that Alabama did not play because of Covid

-Other than LSU players, Alabama did not miss playing a 2021 Draftee because of an opt-out

Reality: Alabama faced a weakened LSU and not SEC. LSU fans have conflated that with a weakened SEC to make themselves feel better

To be fair, nobody had really done a good deep dive into the assertion. Im sure when faced with this information, they'll gracefully accept that they were wrong

Your white paper appears to be sound in fact and nature. A true work of scientific excellence that was necessary in these times of fake news and echo chambers.

So 5 of the 6 players Alabama missed due to COVID were in games with final scores of 63-3 and 55-17.

What I learned today is that 2020 Alabama played an SEC only schedule against the most talented SEC of all time.

Unreal. Truly tGOAT.
