Because they know FSU will get boatraced.
And they know that most people will know that Bama is EASILY one of the four best (unlike last year where the second loss made it easy to exclude Bama...).
I think I’m one of the younger members on this board. I remember the Shula years in middle school and high school. I lived in SC and had a hard time even watching the games. In 2005 I thought we were getting robbed of respect all year until the LSU and AU games. I remember watching the LSU game in our room above the garage on a rabbit ear TV and having to stand in awkward positions to get the broadcast signal. In overtime against LSU, I couldn’t keep my balance and lost signal at the snap. When I got it back LSU had scored. I blamed myself for the loss, lol. I also vaguely remember the Franchonie years. Bama vs SC at SC was the first game I ever got to go to in person. I was 11 and cried walking out of the stadium cursing the team and the stupid 2pt attempt, lol. Ah, memories.Anyone that lived through the Shula years at Alabama are considered thought leaders on subject.
FSU isn't top 4
I don't think they needs jocks.If UL doesn't take full advantage of this, it's time to throw in the jock. I know these guys suck, but that would be beyond suckage.
