The Time Alabama Faced A Schedule Built to Destroy Them

[@njebei]

These days hard schedules include a lot of weak non-conference games which is why I personally always put Alabama's schedule in 1977-8 as the toughest ever. They scheduled Nebraska, USC, Louisville, and Miami (Fl) in 1977 and Nebraska, Missouri, USC, and Washington in 1978 going 6-2 in the non-conference and undefeated in conference. Bear Bryant was a badass. He'd play anyone.

[@ljsmixbox44]

I can go back as far as Gene Stallings 1992. Alabama's 13-0 season... finishing there schedule playing 6 conference opponents in a row. Alabama @ Tennessee [sat] Ole Miss @ Alabama [sat] Alabama @ LSU [sat] Alabama @ Mississippi State [sat] Alabama N Auburn [Thurs] Florida @ Alabama [sat] Alabama N Miami, the BCS Sugar Bowl 1993 National Championship 34-13.Alabama defense showed up big time.

[@callmen4]

Which makes me excited to see Bamas schedule going forward with two P4 non conference teams every year moving forward now. Sucks Florida State fell off right before it starts

[@freedomunderground81]

It was amazing to experience in real time but sadly we'll never see it happen again. RTR!! Thank you Saban for everything.

[@brianstaley6391]

The 2016 year with Derrick Henry running into the endzone time after time makes more sense as time goes on. Saban is the goat but damn it helps to have him on your team

[@abeginningwoodworker8169]

Henry was 2015. And yes it helps to have great players but as I always point out how many times do teams not only not live up to their talent but massively underperform it? That 3 year Alabama stretch was remarkable because Alabama did it with completely different offenses. 2014 was a short passing game heavy offense to Amari Cooper with loads of bubble screens and the like with Blake Sims as the QB. In 2015 they went run heavy with Derrick Henry. In 2016-2017 they switched again to a QB run heavy team with Jalen Hurts until they then handed the ball over to Tua and became an incredibly passing heavy team.

[@lilhoodie15]

i wish we could get generational backs like him again instead of letting our qb be the generational back😭

[@sheaalexander157]

Great episode, as always! Thank you This one reminded me of a story that might be worth retelling if you want to look at it. In 2000, Bob Stoops 2nd year at Oklahoma, it wasn’t so much the overall strength of schedule, but they went on a heckuva run within the season. We, fans, back then called it Red October. October games that year just happened to be multiples of 7…no idea why that sticks in my mind, but games were 10/7 10/14 10/21 10/28. We played 4 straight games against highly ranked teams…Texas, Nebraska, Kansas State and I think it was Texas AM. Anyway…OU was just getting good again, after a crap run in the late 90’s and no one really knew how good they’d be(not ranked to start season to a Natty at the end) and the run in Red October was the key to it.

[@givem110]

Colorado in 1990 played the toughest schedule I remember and won the title. Out of conference they played #2 in the sec Tennessee. The southwest conference champs 10-1 Texas. The PAC 10 champs UCLA and #3 in the big 10 Illinois. They also had to play regular season against Oklahoma and Nebraska ECT. I've never seen a team attempt an out of conference schedule like that since.

[@JesusisLord756]

1997 Michigan had the hardest schedule in recent history 7/12 games were ranked matchups including #8 Colorado, at #3 Penn states, #4 Ohio State, and #8 Washington state in the rose bowl We went undefeated and still people say Nebraska deserved the natty despite them nearly losing to Missouri

[@IsaacPunts]

Impressive for a 1 year schedule, I don’t think anything holds a candle to these 3 consecutive years though

[@52flyingbicycles]

Was Touchdown Tommy behind center for that season or was he not playing yet?

[@cameronstate]

Funny coincidence, that Washington State team UM faced in the 1998 Rose Bowl was coached by Mike Price - 5 years later, he would lead the Cougs back to the Rose Bowl, and would sign a massive contract extension to stay in Pullman for years to come. Despite his new contract, he would shock everybody by announcing that following the Rose Bowl, he would be leaving to become the new head coach at Alabama. In May of 2003, following a promising spring practice, news broke that Mike Price had been spotted at a strip club in Pensacola, FL, allegedly leaving with multiple strippers to continue the party in his hotel room. It quickly came to light that an, "unknown woman" had made charges to Price's tab totally around $1,000. This controversy followed a string of reports that Price had been reprimanded by the University for repeatedly being caught drinking into the early morning hours at local "college" bars in Tuscaloosa. The University would eventually decide to rescind the contract offered to Price, making him one of the only coaches in CFB to ever be fired before coaching a single game. It's impossible to know how things would have turned out, but it's certainly plausible to assume that with reasonable success, Alabama may have never been in search of a new coach prior to the 2007 season - and Nick Saban may have never set foot in Tuscaloosa.

[@tremoore9831]

I've deduced that the biggest problem in college football today is... there's no acceptable universal standard of how the SOS is measured in college football. The way ESPN does it (most believe they cook the books for the SEC anyways) isn't the same way the Sagarin Ratings does it or the way the College Football Network does it, and so on... The problem with some systems are that they have a mathematical formula they apply across all of college football. It would be fine if all of the FBS were equal, but it's not. For example... College Football Network has Michigan as the #1 SOS following the completion of the regular season. They played 7-5 Arkansas State, mathematically, on paper that looks good for Michigan. However, if Michigan played 6-6 Arkansas, their SOS would have taken a hit. But objectively, which one would have been a tougher match up? Michigan also played 6-6 Fresno State. If they played 5-7 Wisconsin, that would lower their SOS in some eyes. Arkansas & Arkansas State shouldn't be a 1 to 1 comparison. Neither should Michigan & Central Michigan. That's the flaw in a standard formula being applied across all of college football. Last year, the Sagarin had Oregon over Washington in their final rankings. How is that possible when they beat them twice head to head? It happens when you give Liberty the same value as Texas in a major bowl game. Oregon had a larger margin of victory in the Fiesta Bowl compared to Washington's win over Texas. Washington also played an extra game that they lost, which hurt them mathematically. Then, when you realized the fact that Kentucky alone produced twice as many NFL players than the entire Mountain West Conference in this last NFL draft. You realized there's a BIG difference. The entire G5 had 18 players drafted (Liberty was oddly completely absent, Texas had 11 drafted), and 11 FCS players were drafted in that same year. The G5 and FCS are way more comparable than the power conferences. The top 2 teams in the draft produced more NFL talent than the entire G5. The top 5 schools in comparison to the 5 group of 5 conferences are 54 to 18. I could go deeper, but this is already long.

The Sagarin ranking and any ranking that uses a universal formula across all of the FBS is flawed right out of the gate. In their attempt to remove bias, they completely ignore common sense at times. Because in a computers or a formulas eyes, Miami (of Ohio) & Ohio State is equal to 1:1... In What World? If Miami (of Ohio) were to go 11-1, and Ohio State were to go 10-2. Sagarin would give you a bump if you had a larger margin of victory over Miami (of Ohio), than a 1 point win over Ohio State. Because, they don't want bias in the formula.

[@MattBuild4]

I mean historically the only time Miami Ohio has gone 11-1 is when Ben Roelisthberger was at QB, so I think actually thats pretty accurate.

[@tremoore9831]

@MattBuild4 a lot has changed since 2003. Coincidentally, OSU had a recruiting class ranking of #41. When Urban Meyer got to OSU, he copied that SEC recruiting style (the one where they've been the best since 2002). And OSU recruiting has been better ever since. Miami (of Ohio) has more in common with the FCS than they do with OSU today. And for the past 10 years. However, the formula is still the same. I find it funny that people used to complain about Clemson's schedule. When half of the FBS has an easier schedule but wants to be treated the same.

@@tremoore9831 People complain about Clemson because in 2019 they were a top 2 team in the nation despite beating 0 teams that would finish ranked. This was a slap in the face and a massive contradiction for the undefeated G5 teams in 2016, 2017, 2018 and later 2020.

[@tremoore9831]

@MattBuild4 OK, let's say those are equal situations. What did Clemson have that the others didn't?

[@tremoore9831]

@ or do you just think they got the benefit of the doubt because they were a P5 team?

[@thomasuga5708]

U cannot compare sec schedule to any of these other schedule.. 1-2 good teams does not = the best of the sec. What a joke

[@MattBuild4]

Go back and look at some of these schedules tho. - 14 Miss State goes from unranked to #1 in the nation beating 3 teams that went a combined 23-16? THATS PRETTY WILD..... - 14 A&M goes from #21 to #6 in the nation beating teams that went a combined 31-32. THAT PRETTY WILD.... - 14 Mizzou finishes Top 15 team in the nation - they did not beat a single 9+ win team the entire season. THATS PRETTY WILD.... 2015 - I dont think theres a single team Alabama played who finished the same or better rank than when they played them. And you might sa well thats cuz Alabama beat them - fyi thats 1 game. Theres a bit of difference between #8 Georgia and 10-3 Georgia or "#9" A&M who actually finished 8-5 or "#2" LSU who actually went 9-3. Like why was LSU #2 in the nation? They beat teams that went a combined 46-44. And again this is a team that went unranked in 2014, but started top 15 in preseason in 2015.

Based on your post you must not have watched the video

@@lktyushe’s a Georgia fan dawg. His coach may be Kirby but they sure ain’t smart.

[@MattBuild4]

Oh im sure they magically get ranked in the top 5 again and then Alabama has a quality ACC win... Literally what has happened the last 3 times Alabama played FSU in OOC.

[@lktyus]

@@MattBuild4be honest with FSU winning 2 games this year they won’t be sniffing the top 25 preseason but Wisconsin our other OOC game depending on who returns for them could be in the top 25
