Tin Man
Loquacious Constituent
Now, CFB fans, are you gonna argue the schedules, or just post ad hoc per usual?
Please tell us why that excuses Alabama and doesn't make them subject to the same criticism leveled against other teams. Performance in past seasons should not be a pass for the current season. It's blatant bias. Shame on the pollsters.

Do you honestly believe what you just said or are you just trying to justify the fact Wisconsin hasn’t played anybody?
I’m being serious — who has Wisconsin beat this year? Florida Atlantic? Northwestern? Think about it. Wisconsin’s schedule is a joke up to this point. And the sad part is — it doesn’t get much better, though you do get to face Iowa and UM (though neither has been consistent this year)
Let me ask you this — say it comes down to 11-1 ND and 12-0 Wisconsin for the final CFP spot. Do you seriously think Wisconsin would be more deserving, when ND will have played Georgia, USC, Miami, NC State, Michigan State, Stanford, etc., while Wisconsin has played..........?
You can use the same argument for any one loss team — Wisconsin’s schedule is terrible this year and it will hurt them in the end.
Clemson Miami and Bama have played baby cake schedules as well.
I already said Georgia and Notre Dame deserve to be #1 and #2.
Ranked at time of the game is the worst delineation ever. Should Alabama get credit for a top 5 win over a team that had to reschedule a scrub team to try and get bowl eligible?Clemson has played 4 teams that were ranked when they played them — Auburn, Louisville, NC State and Virginia Tech. How many has Wisconsin faced?
Miami, I don’t really care about, as I don’t see any way they end up undefeated, but just the win last week against Virginia Tech is light years better than any Wisconsin has and they face ND this week and will face Clemson in the ACC title game.
And the fact you bring up Bama is laughable.

Quarterback isn't going to stop BC from dropping 35 on them.If FSU hadn’t lost their starting QB — I’d say absolutely not. The fact they played a full strength FSU, it is a judgement call.
It is quite obvious FSU didn’t have any depth behind Francois (sp). Injuries happen in CFB, but no position effects a team more than the QB position.

The only ranked opponent team that Bama has beaten is a team ranked #24 and they lost to Troy and their best out of conference win is a 2 win p5 team.

We just plain sucked with no leadership whatsoever. We also aren't pulling top 5-10 recruiting classes on a yearly basis either.A team giving up on a season will — I’d think a MSU fan would know about this as it basically happened to them last year.
We play #16, #10 and if we win those games, #1 before the playoffs.
If we win those, Alabama will be in the playoffs.

Wait...people aren't criticizing Alabama for their schedule this year...who knew. Must all be bots.
I'm fine with people being critical of Alabama's schedule...but at the same time nobody thought Florida St was going to suck, same with Michigan.
We both have meaningful games remaining, so it will sort itself out.
But what kind of ridiculous world do you live in where past performance is not a predictor of future success. Name me a season where Wisconsin has run the table in the B1G...gone to NC or playoff and actually won a game. Shit, we are talking about a team where winning the Rose Bowl(not the good kind) is their crowning achievement. That is the same kind of bullshit thinking that had you guys handing BYU the National Championship back in '84.
