Watching Kansas State move up in the polls due to strength of schedule. That measure continues during the season depending on how good or bad opponents are.

Bama has played one ranked opponent all year, Michigan, who has proved themselves a lame duck year after year.

Comparison, LSU has played 3 ranked teams, 2 in the top 10.

Bama has the lion-share of the schedule left: Miss. State, LSU, Texas A&M all ranked.

Just wanted your thoughts on Bama playing a padded schedule so far and the heart yet to be played.

Alabama is the best team in the nation and it's not even close. That gap is striking to me. It's nothing like saying the only team that can beat the Saints are the Saints. The Saints defense is not good. Their coaching situation is close to the bottom of the league. Bama smoked Miss State and they aren't a bad college team overall. They will beat LSU. LSU has no offense and Bama has the best defense in the nation. Easy matchup. A&M has a good young coach but will have to recruit some defense to compete in the SEC. Bama will beat them easily. The only real entertaining matchup for the Tide is Oregon. They can spread you out and score. As I said, and I firmly stand by it, if Bama loses, it will be because they beat themselves. And with the best coach in college football, I seriously doubt that will happen.
