Oregon is getting punished for playing a tough week 1 non-conference game on a "neutral site" 2000 miles away. While Alabama's non-conference schedule was shit and almost always has been.
If a one loss Bama stays ahead of them and gets in a lesson has been learned: Don't bother scheduling tough non-con games, it isn't worth it.
And definitely avoid "neutral" games.
