They looked pretty strong to me, too.

Is Alabama a good football team? Yes. Do they pass the "eye-test"? You could make that argument. Does their resume support their ranking? No!

This is what I can't wrap my head around. Alabama's best win is over a one-dimensional LSU who's best win is over a subpar UF. Theye romped UGA but this is the worst UGA team in years.

Now look at Bama's loss. Ole Miss now has 3 losses, Memphis, Ark, and UF but they hung 42 on Bama of course.

My point and prediction. LSU will go on to lose at least one more and Bama will be left with an even more lackluster resume. The SEC this year is wayyyyyy down but the talking heads seems to ignore this fact. If Alabama wins out they probably would deserve to be top 4, but right now? #### no.

There are two a fundamental problem with the eyetest.

Nov 8, 2015, 12:11 PM

The eyetest is a personal opinion. The problem with our personal opinion is that we are influenced by those who claim to be experts in NCAA football, I include myself here. Most of the ESPiN talkers have roots in the SEC which influences their opinions and almost every one of them work for a company that has a 50/50 shared ownership in the SEC network. They cater to the Southern Fans where the SEC resides for economic purposes.

There's another type of bias, mine. I hate ESPiN. My opinion is influenced by their bias but diametrically opposed to their opinions of the SEC and I am equally or more in resolve.

They use their eyetest to 'prove,' that Bama is one of the top four teams in the country but I use stats on hard the hard facts of history to support my claim that they are not. LSU gave up 20 points to every team the faced this season including Cuse. Bama scored only 20 on LSU.

LSU is probably one of the few teams in P5 football that is more one dimensional than Bama. Stop the run, stop both.
