Let’s go off this schedule posted for the past four years and future one. I will break this out into a tier one and tier two category.

Tier 1
UF, UGA, USC
Tier 2
UK, UT, Vandy, Miz

I will take out the permanents(UT and UF) for their respective team, because the don’t change

Bama played/plays 4 tier 1 and 4 tier 2
LSU played/plays 3 tier 1 and 5 tier 2


Prior to the bridge

Bama tier 1 played 4 teams, tier 2 played 2 teams
LSU tier 1 played 1, tier 2 played 5

So sans the permanent(which is what changes in bham), LSU has really had the easier schedule

And that's a huge problem right there. Our annual is a tier 1 opponent while their annual is a tier 2. So they get credit for the years they play our tier 1 permanent, but we get no recriprocal credit for the years we play their "tier 2" annual opponent.

That's the problem looking at this in a vaccuum. And it shows again that UT has to get things going if we are going to keep permanents.

Yes, I know you took out permanents, but LSU's permanent is a tier 1 and bamers is a tier 2. If they were both tier 1, then it would be equal to take out permanents.


Haven't read this thread, but I assume its a bunch of LSU fans bitching about the schedule?
Are there really LSU fans crying over having an exciting schedule?

How then do you propose to "toughen" up LSU's "easier" schedule ? Maybe somehow "manipulate" these bridge schedules ?...Yeah, that's the ticket..LMAO @ NYC
