but given the current stage in development of our young HC, would we win enough to get in if those teams were what they're supposed to be?
If we were playing a very tough schedule (as we have in so many years) and lost 3 games, would the conferences be shedding a tear or championing for us because we played a tough schedule?
Can't see any reason we should care if the tables are turned...no one cares how you got to the playoff, we would have 4 straight games in the playoff to prove ourselves...or not.
Half of Saban's NCs were gifted to him by someone else losing to let him back into the NC picture...it's just the way things go.
