like some teams. How they always play good and mentioned how he works to have them perform each week. Said Riley needs to learn from this at Okla. Went on and on about Nick like he is the only guy doing this. I was really surprised with his admiration of our program Dabo didnt get a mention here. He's doing a good job of that and I believe we play considerably tougher teams week to week than Bama

Unfortunately Pitt killed that last season. Sure it was only one loss, and Bama did it in 2015, but it is fresh in everyone's mind. I know you never want to lose, and sometimes it can cost you a playoff spot, but losing a game can focus a team in the middle of the season and prepare for the playoffs. I honestly think it helped Bama and Clemson the last two seasons. With all the questions this team is trying to answer I hope we don't need a loss to stay focused this season.

I wonder if its got something to do with the way we're playi

ng right now. Some games we blow people out, other games we struggle to move the ball on defense.
Bama looks consistent week in and week out.

that has everything to do with it......

even the bama game with TAMU was never in doubt when they were up by 3 scores. To be honest i think our BC game is sticking in their heads moreso than the WF game, b/c we were up 3-4 TDs before we let WF start scoring in the 4th................BC was a TD game in the 4th.
and while our resume has been better than bama's...........looking forward the best remaining opponents NCstate (lost to South carolina), GT (lost to UT), FSU (lost to bama).........basically we BETTER not slip up and lose one.
just playing a little devil's advocate to shed light on where they're coming from

Bama is still getting a lot of mileage out of beating FSU

Otherwise, they've just run it up against a bunch of weak sisters.
According to the current Sagarin Ratings, Alabama has a current strength of schedule ranking of 24th which is quite generous in my estimation. By comparison, Clemson is currently ranked 11th.

We do have the better resume'. I do not fear Alabama, nor any other team in the country. Line'em up, and let's go play.

I think Herby and Galloway take turns. Galloway was all about Clemson...Herby all about Bama. In a couple of days they might switch. Herby had to pump up Bama. Bama looked soft against A & M. Good Grief...Bama had a fumble. What is happening...they are just falling apart.

a win is a win, right? ESPN is saying a convincing win is more valuable than a simple win.

So in other words...

the belief that margin of victory is no longer a factor when evaluating team rankings is the total myth we all knew it to be.
