You've played 3 teams that are currently in the BCS top 25:"Ya'll" seem to forget that we have a harder SOS. I would rather take a grinding, difficult schedule with not ONE let up each week (besides a bye), than to play only the 3rd and 4th best teams in the SEC and have an moderate/easy schedule the rest of the year.
Against us, playing 2 good teams in the SEC and not good teams the rest of the year won't give you that big of an advantage. Your talent, experience in the big game, and Saban give you the advantage, but not your schedule. Couldn't say the same for Florida.
Stanford: 8
Oklahoma: 11
Michigan: 18
We've played:
LSU: 7
Tex. AM: 9
Michigan: 18
Plus we'll play Georgia Saturday: 3
But the point I guess I'm making is the weekly SEC grind is something nobody else understands and the fact that 6 SEC teams are in the BCS top 10 means that the greatest collection of talent in football is in our conference.
Even the weaker SEC teams that finished around .500 in conference would be strong teams out of conference.
This is what I meant by "iron sharpens iron."
BTW, I think you are overstating the "no let up" in your schedule:
You've played: Navy, Purdue, BYU, Pittsburgh, Boston College and Wake Forest
