Re: Saban trying to secure Playoff spot before season starts

All you have to do is look at their schedule, and you can easily see they go 11-1 before losing to Auburn like last year. They have a cakewalk until their last game. Then when Auburn loses to the SEC Least winner again like last year, they waltz right back into the NC playoff. It's almost like the moon and stars have aligned and Bama has to get there. They won't even have to play in a conference championship game - AGAIN! It sucks, but the schedules make this easy for Bama. Even if Auburn wins the SECCG, then Bama with one loss will still be in the playoff. Two SEC teams just like last year. The rest of the country has to fight and win all their games just to secure one of the other 2 spots. They also have to win their conference championship games, and even then (PSU), they might get left out for a less-deserving team (OSU).
ESPN and the SEC have it figured out where they have the easiest route to the championship, and I don['t see it changing anytime soon. Meanwhile, we can listen to Saban cry like a baby.
