Congrats. This proves 'experts' don't know jack. I think Alabama schedule made the difference in that game. Florida weren't tested much this year.
I think you are absolutely right. Tennessee and Auburn really did us a favor by making us earn those games.
We were coming off of a close call against Auburn and Florida was coming off of a cake walk against FSU.
It honestly reminds me of the C's in the 2008 playoffs. We should be grateful that Atlanta and Cleveland pushed us to the limit so that we were prepared for what was to come.
I fear that the Nebraska game will be a major wake up call for Texas and that they might be extra sharp come gametime. Alabama will have to earn it again the way they earned it Saturday.
