Would Tulane (3-1), have been the best opponent on Alabama’s schedule so far?

Really speaks volumes that it’s plausible.

nah, Duke is better IMO

they are blowing out lesser teams like a P5 team should

2-1, scored over 40 in both wins and allowed less than 20

Auburn fans are on a roll this week. It's gonna be funny if they manage to lose to State this weekend.

So Duke with 1 fewer loss and Tulane with one more loss comes out as equal? I'm confused by this premise.

They both have 1 loss... Not sure what you are getting at. Dukes best win is Middle Ten and Tulanes best win is Houston

And if we remove bama what happens to Duke's 1 loss? Do you find it likely tulane loses to bama as well, bumping them to 2 losses. Or is your poorly explained premise just swapping bama and Auburn on Duke and tulane's schedules? It's your hypothetical argument to construct.

Can someone please explain to me why War Tiger is ranked so high?

A&M game: 16 total 1st downs on 299 yards. 12 penalties. Gave up 400 yards.

Like, what has Eagle Plainsman done this year to justify a top 10 ranking or to be so haughty on this board?

Seriously asking.

They would. Mond is Awful and they can’t run the ball since their RB got hurt.

Bama is 4-0.

All that matters for any team right now.

...

Duke lost to Alabama
Tulane lost @Auburn

They both have one loss. Nobody is saying anything more or less than that and your post makes no sense.


As far as Tulane vs Duke on a neutral field, I’m not sure what Duke would be favored by but I don’t think it’d be some monumental upset this year for Tulane to take them down. They have looked pretty legit so far.

Tulane and Duke are probably pretty even

FPI
50. Duke
56. Tulane

SP+
58. Tulane
60. Duke

Alabama beat Duke by 39
Auburn beat Tulane by 18

I don't think that really matters much, but I'm not sure how it helps your argument against Alabama.
