WTF does Alabama's non-conference schedule have to do with anything?
Western Kentucky
South Florida
Mercer
Wisconsin
Where's the "tough" game?
admittedly, it's not Alabama's fault that this was the worst Wisconsin team in 20 years, but that's what happened this year.
Alabama is left out because they got beat by 2 mediocre/bad teams. That has to be penalized.
Ole Miss is out because they lost to freaking 4-8 Kentucky. That has to be penalized.
South Carolina is out because they lost to both teams also "in the running" with them that aren't getting in.
that's what happened.
it's not OOC games. It's not strength of schedule.
it's losing to mediocre/shit teams.
plain and simple.
