27.00 - Texas A&M ain't all that, somehow.

Seems a bit stupid to have Bama below Kentucky this close (especially as someone who values H2H when applicable, as in here)...but hey, there are other things to consider as well...

LW: 16. Top 2-loss team.

Alabama struggled early against an aggies team have has been having a rough season. However Alabama rights the ship by taking the lead and pulling away in the fourth Quarter.

Bama’s wins and losses almost exactly offset each other. They have a top-25 offense and defense, but their biggest win is South Carolina.

Alabama is 6-2 with a nice win over Kentucky (7-1). Also beat South Carolina (4-3) and Mississippi State (4-3)

For three quarters that was far closer than it should have been. I know my Aggies, we are bad. It took Nabou (who I’m just gonna say has been one of the biggest disappointments in his lack of development here) snapping the ball while trying to draw Alabama off sides to flip the tide of the game. Lots of work for the crimson tide going forwards. LSU looms large before some cupcakes and then an upset minded Auburn.

2-loss

Alabama has the best wins of the bucket, over Kentucky and South Carolina, and their losses to Georgia and Tennessee are good losses.

And this is where the who to rank confusion really starts. Ughh, I will go with Alabama cuz of course Alabama will be ranked high.

Up 1 - beat bad team, losses to #14 and #5, win vs #19 and #25

Loss to Georgia, at Tenn

+2

(75.08, +7) Good win for the Tide over a floundering A&M squad. This ranking seems far too high as Alabama boasts two losses (#6 Georgia and #15 Tennessee) and only one significant victory (#2 Kentucky). The Tide have also accrued a number of good wins and have faced the #2 SOS. Perhaps the model rewards SOS too much and under-punishes wins. Regardless Alabama has performed well against a very difficult schedule.

Had a tough time against TAMU. A couple missed FGs made this a bit closer than it probably should have been but Alabama was down to start the 4th. They will probably be happy to get this upcoming bye week.

A rough couple of weeks but they've made a good recovery against Texas A&M. I maybe had them ranked a little two high last week but they do have two losses which makes it difficult to keep them top 10. But, I do think they are better than everyone else higher in the rankings so I keep them here.

...Alabama...
