Cowherd goes off at the end, saying he can name plenty of schools next year that play far easier schedules than the Irish.
Even two-time defending national champion Alabama.
"Give me Alabama's schedule next year, go look at Alabama's schedule right now. 'Oh, the great Alabama.' Let me see that then. And this is the great SEC, right? It's unbelievable. Let's read it right now for you, 2013, here's your tough schedule. Alabama, OK: At Texas A&M, tough as heck. Colorado State, Georgia State, at Kentucky, Tennessee's a mess, Chattanooga Mocs, Auburn's a mess -- that's a real toughie. They get LSU at home, They don't have to play Georgia — they don't have to play Georgia! Don't have to play Florida, don't have to play South Carolina. They've got three of the best teams in their conference and they're not on their schedule, and they face something called the Chattanooga Mocs?
"Six of those teams on that schedule are in the toilet. Their toughest game honestly is their second game of the year, Texas A&M. What do you know? They've got a bye before that, because Saban pretty much runs the conference. By the way they also face LSU, they get a bye before that. So they get a bye before each of their toughest games. Saban runs that conference. He does. He doesn't have to play Florida again, he doesn't have to play Georgia again, he doesn't have to play South Carolina again. Saban is running that conference.
"By the way, their bye? They could have lost three games last year. Any time they need a bye it just magically appears on the schedule."
