I don't know why this keeps degenerating into a permanent opponent argument, and why Bama fans keep trying to make this the argument. I suspect it is to try to take away attention from the real and undeniable advantage that they've garnered from the bridge schedule.

That is where the real shite sandwich is. So Bama fans, let's stop talking about LSU-UF and focus on the real issue, or does that not suit your agena?
It's not a Bama fan bringing this up, the article clearly states:
Today, the SEC’s athletic directors will meet and Tiger AD Joe Alleva will once again claim that LSU faces a disadvantage because his school is forced to play Florida each and every season as its permanent opponent. That game, of course, has become one of the best on the SEC’s schedule and television execs have paid the league pretty darn well for that schedule over the past five years.
Florida officials aren’t thrilled with the prospect of having to play an East Division schedule and LSU each year, but the volume on Gainesville groaning hasn’t reached LSU proportions yet. That’s ironic considering Florida has more to complain about.

UF has lost 4+ games 5 times over the last 10 seasons. With 3 really good seasons and Last year was a big surprise to almost everyone. It will interesting to see how they fair this year.
