Extra criticism when they blow out a much lower opponent and extra criticism when they don't. You have to battle the psychology of the players believing it's some kind of right-to-win. That teams will lay down in front of the Almighty #1 TEAM In. The. Nation! You have to battle the wordsmith's fawning and blowharding. Saban's so called "Rat Poison" The inevitable argument that a college team can beat the worst NFL team. FYI: They can't.

Looking at the schedule, they have between 2-4 likely losses on there. A 11-3 record (2 reg season losses, a SEC champ loss, and a bowl win) puts you solidly in the top 10 at the end of the season. A 9-4 record is still top 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
