This all boils down to “resume vs eye test”. Everyone knows Bama is one of the 4 best teams but they are looking for any excuse to keep us out.
Who, may I ask, is "they"?
They keep saying our resume is horrible but they forget that we have pretty much dominated everyone except for one game.
Well, when the teams you play aren't good, you don't have to be that good to dominate, either.
To be fair, it's NOT our fault. I mean, everyone thought at the start that FSU-Bama was a national title preview matchup. And the weird thing is that I'm
supposed to let Auburn's lackluster September pass ("well, they made changes") but LSU's is supposed to be binding on them.
There's a sense in which we're paying the price for "that team didn't look good early."
We have to beat Auburn, plain and simple...
Yeah, we really do.
If we don't put it into the committee's hands then there's no problem.
