It's the strength of the conference that makes Alabama rated as high as they are (and they deserve the credit for playing through the tougher schedule).

If they had played all of the other "tough" teams in the SEC I would totally agree with you. They have played LSU (probably should have lost, but they won and thats all that matters) and Texas A&M (lost). They haven't had to play Georgia, Florida, or South Carolina. If you have watched Alabama against LSU and TA&M, you have to admit that they aren't dominant as everyone thought they were earlier in the season. Their defense can be exploited on the back end if the other team can protect their QB. McCarron has played well, but in the big games has looked shaky (not withstanding the final drive against LSU).
I have conceded that the SEC is the best conference in college footall. I just don't see the "head and shoulders" part of it. All of the top teams have flaws and I think they get more credit than deserved based on past performance.
