OR, the only ones to call out bama bias w/o remorse !
Remember when bama fans/admin. complained about all their opponents' open dates....gues what it got "fixed" real quick and rightly so !
LSU calls out the "bridge schedule" bias...and what happens ????? NOTHING !
That's the difference !

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


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.

Let's put this another way you may be able to comprehend. Last 5 years of SEC play: Bama has played the top 3 SEC East teams FL,GA,SC....4{FOUR} times and GA not at all Last 5 years of SEC play: LSU has played the top 3 SEC East teams FL,GA,SC....8{EIGHT} times You can't possibly tell me you don't see an "issue"....come on REALLY ! ADD to this...the SEC will not even "imply" that the 2014 schedule going forward, will even address this obvious imbalance !



Well lets see your little figures here are skewed by your permanent, Those dont change, so how do the the schedule makers aka bama fans factor into that?

Easy solution...get rid of permanent opponents and rotate. That's really the only fair way to schedule long term. But that's not going to happen.

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?

I understand what you are saying, but no one can rationalize to me why we play Georgia again before Bama does. You can twist the bridge schedule any way you want.

And its sad that we look at our permanent as a tier 1, while their permanent is, according to your own analysis, a tier 2. This is why annual opponents should be done away with. I don't know when Tennessee will return to their top tier status.

Nope. Get rid of the permanent opponents. Simple as that.

That is the question. It isn't Bama's fault that UT has totally collapsed. UT was one of the big 6 when permantent rivals were established. So do most people think UT can get back to where they were in the late 90's and early to mid-2000s? But for anyone to say that we should stop playing them every year in conference play is an exercise in futility. Plus UF doesn't complain about UGA playing auburn. But UT does need to get their act together and do their part.

And while we did draw UK this year, getting Mizzou last year wasn't necessarily a gimme game before the season started (and thus when the schedule was made). A lot of people picked Mizzou to compete for the east. They were given a better chance of succeeding in the first few years in the SEC than was aTm.

Damn...I'm sooo sorry now, I can see by your razor sharp analysis of the LSU / Bama scheduling controversey.....according to you, LSU has by far the easier schedule both prior to bridge scheduling ans especially during and probably after.... I hereby advocate we follow NYC's lead and dictate that LSU is no longer to play TN,Vandy,KY OR MO....until the OBVIOUS bias IS RECTIFIED !
You are one piece of work NYC...lmao

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

Ummm...no. The SEC will probably never do away with the Bama/UT game or the UGA/auburn game, nor should they. Both of those rivalry games deserve to be played annually (and in conference play for those that keep saying that it should be played as an OOC game).
