"Hard not to get healthy playing Teams like Mercer."

Yeah boy. They don't play the big time competition that OSU does -- like UNLV and Rutgers.

First, there's the question of timing... Alabama plays only 1 viable game in the final 3 weeks, and loses that game convincingly... and somehow rises in the rankings.

Secondly, OSU played more Top teams (by the final rankings), and more higher-ranked teams, than Alabama.
OSU: #2 OU, #6 WISC, #9 PSU, #16 MSU
BAMA: #7 AUB, #17 LSU, #23 MSST

That's 2, 6, 9, and 16... vs 7, 17, and 23. Get it?

OSU went 2-1 vs the Top Ten... Bama went 0-1.

There is no way on earth that 0-1 vs the Top Ten is clearly better than 2-1 vs the Top Ten... by a team that rested for 2 of the most important final 3 weeks to get handed a free pass.

Pathetic.

exactly! Come and play in the SEC and see what head-to-head results anyone can get, much less a low loss record.
