Funny how Bama's rotates with states that are next to each other.


Bama borders Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia. That covers over half of the sec east. If we exclude Tennesee because they are a permanent opponent, that means Bama will be playing a team from a border state 50% of the time and the percentage cannot be lower. Add in the fact that Bama played Mizzou during Mizzou's first year in the conference and it's obvious why they would play other SEC west teams before coming back to Bama.

Would you rather Bama drew Kentucky or South Carolina? I'd love to get South Carolina more while Spurrier is coaching but I'm sure you'd be complaining about Bama getting an easy draw if they were playing Kentucky instead of Vandy, UGA, or UF.

ETA: I just looked at Bama's rotation and saw they get UK in 16 and Mizzou in 18. And @ South Carolina in 19. That means that from 15-19 Bama plays 2 border state teams and 3 from other states. Your complaint makes even less sense now.
