We won the West and went to the SECCG and won that.

Bama...ummm....not so much

I can knock the hell out of Bama's 2011 NC and you'll have to deal with it.

Scheduling is one of several reasons many are predicting either A&M or Alabama to win the SEC West next year. A&M plays nobody out of conference, but then again we have been scrambling to set up OOC scheduling since leaving the little 12.

None of their teams would play us because of Dodds little tantrum, and most teams had OOC locked up years before.

Again, when you can win a title without dropping home games in November and then sitting in your trailer hoping somebody helps you out 3000 miles away the Bristol hype machine can make sure you get another shot then talk to me about dominating.


So by this logic, is LSU's 2001 SEC title illegitimate since they lost to Tennessee in the regular season? What about the NY Giants' Superbowl win over the Patriots? Is it legit considering the Patriots defeated them in the regular season? What about Kentucky's basketball title last year considering they didn't even win the SEC tournament?

Seriously, Macho Man, I hope you've got plenty of lube tucked away somewhere in your mom's basement because your butt is hurting...

The conspiracy is called math.

With a 14 team league and only 8 conference games, every year there's probalby going to be 1 or 2 teams from each division that get an easy draw and 1 or 2 teams from each division is going to get a very difficult draw.

Who is good or not can also be highly cyclical.

A decade ago having Tennessee on your schedule had you worried all year, now it's a write it in pen W.

Ole Miss has a doormat for the last couple of seasons, but I don't think anyone is sleeping on them this year.

Auburn was trash, won the lottery one season, and then became trash immediately again.

When you can't play everyone and teams are fluctating in quality year by year, sometimes the schedule God's smile on you and other times they crap on you.

Hey "reality"...Yes, the schedule does and should fluctuate as a team "rotates" thru opposite division opponents. But, I guess you missed the part about bama getting Mizzou and then KY during the SEC 2 yr. "bridge" schedule...while LSU got SC and GA...schedule largely designed by Mr. Womack... associate comissioner and bama grad !
LSU last played GA in 2009, bama last played GA in 2008......HOW does this disparity resemble a RANDOM event ???????

I would hate to have Bama's schedule as a fan... So many shitty games.



I'd rather see Bama play UGA than Kentucky for sure. A rematch of the SEC championship would be great theater, and it's just hard to get excited for a team that finished in the cellar this season. The 'but it makes for an easier road to #16 WOO!!1!' reasoning is lame. I want that road to have a bit more excitement.

A&M's 2013 schedule is tougher than ours which is pretty pathetic to be honest with you.

Vanderbilt >>> Kentucky
Missouri > Tennessee
SMU <<< Virginia Tech
UTEP = Colorado State
Rice >>> UT Chattanooga
Sam Houston State >>> Georgia State
