re: Fox Sports - Alabama actively plans an "atrocious schedule" and gets away with it

Bama has a knack for scheduling games that look good during the preseason but wither and die as the season progresses.

I refuse to believe that Saban and his supporting "machine" don't know well in advance which programs are due for a downturn season, based on everything else they seem to know. In other words, Saban knows more about CFB than the AP voters and fans (as if anyone would doubt that) and gives orders to schedule accordingly.

Of course, hate the game not the playa. I bet a good gambling strategy would have been to fade all these teams Alabama schedules in neutral site kickoff classics.
