I have no doubt that any college football coach and team in the country will find it hard to believe they are the true Champions if they don't play and beat Alabama. The may come across as pretentious, but we all know Alabama is the gold standard and the team to beat every year now. We may slip up against Auburn or Georgia, but that doesn't mean we're still not the best team in the country, because if we lose the Champion is pretty much guaranteed atleast one loss this season showing each team is vulnerable at any point, not that Alabama is flawed. Hate talking about even losing one game, but just speaking on hypothetical situations.
