As for Alabama, I'm projecting them to fall behind South Carolina, despite a head-to-head win. The Gamecocks have an identical record but they don't have a bad loss on the resumé to this point. Alabama, on the other hand, ostensibly has two with a loss to Vanderbilt and a blowout loss to Oklahoma, two fringe bowl teams by their records.
