BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Bama's super light SEC schedule, will keep them successful this year. The teams they have to circle is: (1) Ole Miss -- 5th game (2) Texas A&M -- 7th game (3) LSU -- 9th game (4) Miss. State --10th game (3) Auburn -- 12th game Bama will cakewalk through the others with the exception of Florida and Tenn. but these teams are still rebuilding. If they lose it will be to A&M, LSU, and of course AU. Ole Miss will give them a nail biter but think they will pull it out. Wait wait wait, so because we have FIVE games that are circle worthy, we have a "super light" schedule? You still banking on Carolina being a top 10 team for your schedule? Alabama has 5 ranked teams on its schedule. Two likely top 10 teams. Most teams go a season playing 1-2 ranked teams all year. Yet our schedule is "super light?" Please be joking.

TexasTiger 12,964 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 538 yards 9/16 on 3rd down 33 points two scoring drives over 90 yards I'll take it.

We have new Offensive and Defensive linemen, Linebackers, QB, Kicker, Punter, etc. I do think we are a little over-rated but then again the polls really don't matter much any more and if they did, Bama should have been between 10-15. Yall are definitely in a transition year. I don't think yall rebuild anymore. You've got youth at many spots, talented youth but inexperienced.

The only thing rational thing I have heard that really justifies AU being ranked so low in the pre-season ratings is schedule. With Bama's schedule, we would have been ranked # 2 IMO.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 How many people were basing schedule toughness on A&M sucking and Carolina having another top 10 season? Halfway through the season, we'll know more. But I think it's safe to say an SEC West schedule plus Florida isn't the same as playing a schedule without a ranked team on it. Or one 15ish ranked team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUbritt 611 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 It seems uncontroversial to me to say that Bama's schedule is way tougher than, say, tOSU's. But it also seems uncontroversial to say that Bama's schedule is not nearly as tough as Auburn's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it also seems uncontroversial to say that Bama's schedule is not nearly as tough as Auburn's. Still UAT plays in the SEC-WEST which is the toughest conference/division in the country. Also they play 5 of the same opponents AU does. Apart from that WVU may be better this year than what anybody was expecting and UF will probably also be a lot better as well. Now Lane Kiffin, I was actually kind of impressed with his play calling. Two 100 yard rushers and they got the ball to Amari Cooper I think like 12 catches for 130 something yards. Hey may not be that bad after all idk we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 0 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ha, citing PRESEASON strength of schedule rankings as "facts" (Hint, it's based on LAST YEAR's w/l opponent record) Which means, for Alabama to actually have that SOS ranking at the end of the year: Tenn will have to go 5-7 again UF will have to go 3-9 again WVU will have to go 4-8 again Southern Miss will have to go 1-11 again (may happen) Arky will have to go 3-9 again SOS doesn't matter to me when you consider top teams. What matters is how many teams they played who are ACTUALLY good enough to threaten a top team. If Alabama played all teams who were 7-5, they'd have a top 25 SOS and not a SINGLE team on there would have a prayer of beating Alabama. How many teams does a contender play who had a pulse? In FSU's case, they don't play any team this year who would threaten a top 10 team. Alabama will play 4 (Auburn, A&M, Ole Miss, and possibly UF) 5 if you counted an SECCG. THAT's where SOS comes into play. Not where you ranked based on not playing any 2-10 teams but playing a bunch of 6-6 teams. This is also the same reason whining about a top flight team playing an FCS school is bogus. So what Auburn or Bama play an FCS school - how is that different from playing Colorado or Kansas? YOu're still resting your starters at the half. But when we aren't playing an FCS team, we're playing 4-5 top 25 teams - while other conferences are playing 1 or 2 tops.
