They went 2-0 against the SEC this year...
Bama went 8-0 against the SEC this year.

...including a road win against LSU, who had a national championship several years ago.
Too cute, a FSU fan chest-thumpin' about playing LSU this year, who Bama plays every year. LOL

They also beat Clemson who has two national championships in the past decade.
Bama beat Clemson twice in the playoffs. And Bama has had three national championships in the past decade (seasons 2013 to 2022), plus three more shortly before that (2009, 2011, and 2012). And Bama beat Auburn this year, who had a natty in 2010. And Bama beat Georgia who has the past two national championships.

Like other SEC teams, Bama regularly plays many teams with natty's in the past 20 years.

But who is Florida this year? On FSU's regular schedule, Clemson was the only one that was still in the CFP rankings leading up the final rankings: https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings/_/poll/21/week/15/year/2023/seasontype/2.

After the ACC title game that means FSU played 2 of those teams. Bama played 5 of them --- FIVE. Selah.

I'm not counting teams that were great in years past. I'm looking at teams good enough this year to have still been in the rankings at the end of the regular season.

Irrelevant. Alabama lost by 10 points at home. In every other sport, strength of schedule is a tie-breaker for teams with identical records. There’s no reason for an undefeated Power 5 conference champion to have been leapfrogged by two 1-loss teams. The only explanation is the money involved in SEC TV contracts.

The decision to exclude FSU had nothing to do with anything that happened on the football field.

And FSU beat LSU by a greater margin than Alabama, and they did it in Baton Rouge.

The whole thing is retarded, and you sound retarded trying to justify it.
