Alabaga seems like they'll get to
#1 based on their name alone. It would make pushing their **** in at a potential national championship game that much sweeter.
They've beaten absolutely no one this year. For all of the flack that the national pundits give us for "not playing anyone", the Tide's schedule hasn't been that great...
FSU in Atlanta? Not that great of a win. FSU was huge for us because it finally got the monkey off of our backs, and if we really wanted to move forward, we had to beat them, kind of like Luke Skywalker taking on Vader in Return of the Jedi.
Fresno State? They've been solid in the Mountain West this year, but Bama got them at home, and winning the MWC is much like being the tallest midget these days.
Colorado State? A middling team in the Mountain West...again, nothing to write home about.
Their SEC wins haven't been against "great" or even "good" teams...with the exception of MAYBE Mississippi State.
Not that impressed. If they were anyone not named "Alabaga", they'd be a borderline 5 or 6 (at best) in the Playoff Rankings.
