Question Wouldn ' t a massive group of people calling one repsenator in sequence work more effectively ? <| sep |> Actually , I could have used exactly this a few years back . <| sep |> Saying Alabama hasn ' t played a really tough schedule this year isn ' t criticism . I can ' t speak for anyone else , but I don ' t think anyone is disputing that Alabama deserves to be # 1 . Alabama gets a lot of credit for going undefeated in a P 5 conference , that ' s not an easy feat . My problem , and I think most people ' s problem , is with a metric suggesting that Alabama has played a particularly tough schedule . It ' s not a criticism of Bama to say that LSU , AM , and Ole Miss look weak this year . It ' s also not a criticism to say that the USC team of Week 12 is far better than the team Week 1 .
