And which win does Alabama have that is quality?
They have played only 1 team in the top 25; in a losing effort.
They may have only lost by 5 points. But they barely made the game actually look close. LSU controlled the pace of the game, and Alabama played from behind, desperate, start to finish.
I would agree, that losing to South Carolina should have consequences. Though, I do not believe that was Derek's intentional comment.
I think he was referring to, what have the Conference Champions done to deserve being in the Tournament. Because, if Alabama's big win, is over a 4 loss Gamecocks team, only due to their beating Georgia; then is that really enough..?
The Tide have 2 teams left they can attempt to impress the committee with; Mississippi St & Auburn plus one garbage can game vs an FCS opponent, Western Carolina.
Even if they do blowout Missi St, so what ...
Which really only leaves Auburn. And, even if Bama beat Auburn, it will still be their only top 15 win of the year.
