Alabama football fans are not much interested in whether Appalachian State, Boise State or Memphis go undefeated this season. Even if all three have unblemished records, none of them will be in the CFB Playoff field.
Crimson Tide fans focus most of their attention on those teams who can potentially become post-season opponents. There will not be much clutter from the unneeded distraction of a team, like recent UCF teams, falsely claiming their unbeaten season should be compared to one achieved by Alabama football. For the record, the App State, Boise and Memphis programs are entitled to claims of being treated unfairly should they go undefeated.
