According to Joel Klatt, see below. Alabama has scheduled the least actual OOC road games of any P5 team since 2007. According to Klatt, which he backs up with facts, Alabama has the weakest schedule make up of any of the top 10 CFP teams, scheduling 2 G5 and 1 FCS team, more than any other top 10 team. Yet, they get away because of who they are.

So of all the top 4 CFP, no less the top 10 teams, UCF would have as good a chance against Alabama as they would against any of them. Stop with all this Alabama love affair and look at the facts. Are they good? Of course! But they are beatable.

Agreed.. Much respect for the Knights this year, but Bama's backups at every position would win the AAC.

Alabama would beat us no doubt.

Here are Alabama's final Sagarin SOS rankings, since 2007:

2007: 30
2008: 28
2009: 2
2010: 14
2011: 15
2012: 19
2013: 39
2014: 2
2015: 1
2016: 1

So ... Looks like the author of your article is kind of nutso. Alabama has had a top *two* schedule four times in the past 10 years, a top 20 schedule seven of the past 10 years, a top 30 schedule nine of 10 years. That means their schedule has been tougher than the average P5 schedule 90% of the time, the only time it wasn't, it was #39, not soft by any means.

Good Lord ...

I thought our Memphis team with Paxton Lynch would do pretty well in the Birmingham Bowl vs Auburn two years ago. I know Justin Fuente had left and we were short on coaching staff, but just looking at the players on the field, we were overmatched. What really stuck out to me was that their DB's were huge and fast. It was like men versus boys. At least that is what my personal eye-test said.

I think that UCF would have zero chance versus Bama and their bench full of 5 star recruits, That's just me.

There is a good chance that Alabama stumbles against LSU, Auburn, or Georgia. UCF vs Bama in the Peach Bowl. 2-0 Baby!!!

Last time I checked UCF is undefeated vs Alabama

Those cousin f*ers are scared.

No, pretty certain its not just you.

Wow, for all those 5 star athletes, they certainly don't get the results you would expect. You'd think they never give up a point and score a TD on every possession. That said, I can't find any year with more than 4 first round picks (rare to find). Most years 1 or 2 first rounders. From 2001 through 2007, they didn't have first rounders.

Name all the Alabama 5 star QB recruits who consistently started in the NFL in the last 20 years. I can't think of any. You have to go all the way back to the 1960's to find Alabama QBs who starred in the NFL (Kenny Stabler and Joe Namath).

Alabama has weaknesses just like everyone else. They are beatable just like any other top team including Syracuse beating Clemson just this year.

Even their coach failed when he got to the NFL, finishing his last year at 6 and 10 with the Dolphins in 2006.

They play in the SEC. Of course they are going to give up something here and there. They also always play someone OOC. What do you expect them to do?

I know you don't expect them to play in the toughest division (SEC West) in all of college football and also schedule 4 top 25 teams ooc too.

What a joke.

The SEC and the other P5 conferences can schedule like that OOC because their conference schedule is brutal most weeks. They can get 5-6 quality wins a season in conference alone.

Where as in the G5 conferences your going to get the same competition your judging them on.

No offense to anyone because Memphis has certainly had it's share of horrible seasons but playing in the MWC, AAC, C-USA, MAC, and Sun Belt is not the same as playing in a P5 conference. Anyone who thinks we're close is a joke.

It doesn't matter if we occasionally beat one of their teams. If an AAC team beats someone that doesn't equate to the AAC being better. We are the 6th conference in the pecking and power order. It's just the way it is.

I made money on the Sugar Bowl when mighty Bamer played little mid major Utah from the MWC. Utah creamed them.

Yeah they were 3-8 that season and also lost 21-0 to Southern Miss. You beat them when they were going through one of the worst periods in their programs history. So there's that.

Memphis has beaten Bama before too as well as several.other top programs. Doesn't mean were better.

True. But a win is a win. Just like Memphis’s one win over UCF still counts even though we were only Div I-AA then.

Undefeated is undefeated

If they weren’t scared they would schedule a home and home.

They want to feast on cupcakes, then they are scared.
