I think what everyone is upset about is that while you dropped UGA for Mizzou, we dropped UK for A&M


You could also say that bama dropped Vandy for A&M

Are you insinuating that b/c Mr Womack graduated from Ala. and worked there many yrs, he would be biased in giving them scheduling perks??!! How dare you Sir! How dare you!

They had to make up the majority of the schedules themselves, but there could have been a few cases where a few different teams could gave gone in a certain spot. That's where they may have randomly pulled a name.

So the conicidence defense. Got it.

Since Nick Saban arrived:

2008: UT, UGA, UK
2009: UT, USC, UK
2010: UT, UF, USC
2011: UT, UF, Vandy
2012: UT, Mizz (Mizz replaces UGA)
2013: UT, UK (Kentucky replaces UGA)

Any concidence that the one year in this 6 year run that Bama finshed 4th in the west was when they played 2 of the best 3 teams in the East and lost 3 games? Looks to me like Nick said no more of that guys after the 2010 season.

Before expansion, UK was due to rotate onto Bama's schedule in '13 just like UGA was due to rotate onto LSU's schedule in '13.

We weren't due for scar this year. Your rotation theory is invalid.

Dude, LSU plays east teams that went 14-2 this year, while Bama's east teams went 1-15. We can have as many bye weeks as we want. By the way Bama has a bye before lsu next year too.

Did I say anything about '12? No, obviously that was a true bridge year because of expansion.

But numerous people keep asking, "Why did Bama get UK in '13 while LSU gets UGA?". It's not random nor is it some grand conspiracy to help Bama. It's based off what was supposed to happen before expansion.

Why did Bama get the benefit in the bridge year? Why was Bama the only team in the west with more division games at home than on the road in 2012?

By the way 2013 is a bridge year too. So Bama benefits in both bridge years. Just seems hard to believe that Bama gets this benefit in the middle of their "dynasty". That and the schedule coordinator previously working in the Bama athletic department.

To me its not really about who has a tougher schedule because teams will go in cycles. Its more about me being a fan and wanting to play other teams more than once every 12 years. Seriously no one gives a frick about bama vs tenn. When we go to 16 teams they should just put ut, uga, aub and bama in one division.

Where did Alabama's 2nd game against Vandy go, Mark Womack?

Based off of, except you have to ignore that LSU has to go to Athens even though the last game was in Athens because adding them back this year without the 5-2-1 would cause a home away inequity because the rotation doesn't work right when you take a cog out.
