In retrospect, this isn't all that surprising. Still, interesting to hear it from a player.
In the midst of the writers/talkers celebrating Bama's loss and our hand-wringing over staff turnover, it seems that schedule difficulty/conference affiliation hasn't gotten its full due as a factor in the loss.
Here's each team's schedule from November on:
Alabama
#3 LSU
#16 Mississippi State
Auburn
Citadel
#4 UGA (SEC title game)
Oklahoma
Clemson
Clemson
Louisville
#17 BC
Duke
SC
Pitt (ACC title game)
ND
Bama
