[QUOTE="YankeeIllini, post: 1475503, member: 639964"] I don’t mind piling on to Alabama simply because it’s fun to throw dirt at the college football bully. But in reality, I look at how ‘Bama and Clemson schedule and wonder if it’s something that teams in the B1G shouldn’t emulate. For the past umpty-ump years, both ‘Bama and Clemson have scheduled a cupcake OOC game with typically FCS teams in the last couple weeks of their season. While B1G teams are slugging it out with one another and running the risk of dropping out of the playoff picture late in the season where it seems the Committee seems to assign more import to losses, Clemson played the Citadel last year on the last week of the season and plays Wofford this year in week nine, while the Tide played powerhouse Mercer in the last game of last season has scheduled Western Carolina in the next to last game this year. IMHO the Committee should drop ANY team that plays an FCS team after week three of the season from playoff consideration. I always cringe when reviewing the scores late in the season and see ‘Bama beating the Little Sisters of the Poor State Junior Teacher’s College 63-0, and seeing them still at number 1 in the polls. To me, it tarnishes their image. If they want to schedule a cupcake do it in the first three weeks. After that, schedule real competition. Just my $0.02 . . [\rant] [/QUOTE]
