They were coming off a NC when the game was scheduled and were ranked #3 in the country when the game was played.
You tell me if that was good scheduling.
You know what is better? Scheduling them in tallahassee.
FSU schedules home and homes. They've played Oklahoma State, Notre Dame, and Florida all in the same season. 2 of those were home and homes on top of the neutral site game with OSU.
That is an example of your neutral site opponent not being lazy like Bama with OOC scheduling.

We've played them in Atlanta, and we've played them in Jacksonville since Saban came. You know what's better than Tallahassee? Almost any city in America not named Jackson, Mississippi. Doak Campbell is not a fun place to watch a game.

So they had a nice sounding season one time, eh? You know who finished 25 spots ahead of them at the end of that season in strength of schedule (at #2)? Alabama.

FSU plays UF every year. Like all the other SEC/ACC in-state rivalries. The 2014 FSU/ND game was a part of ND's ACC contract to play several ACC football games a year, not a scheduled home and home. Try again.

By the way... FSU, Clemson, USC, and Michigan travel/schedule better than Bama
Since 2007 (Saban's first year) Michigan has done several home and homes with Notre Dame (a rival), a home and home with Utah, neutral site games with Alabama and Florida, and one off home games with Oregon State, Colorado, and Vanderbilt. They've played no other Power 5 OOC games.
Since 2007 USC did home and homes with Ohio St, Virginia, Minnesotta, Syracuse (although the Syracuse home game was at MetLife Stadium), Hawaii, Boston College, and Texas, along with the neutral site game vs Alabama in 2016 and their annual game with Notre Dame.
Clemson plays South Carolina yearly and has done home and homes with Auburn (twice), Georgia, and Texas A&M since 2007. They also played Alabama and Auburn each once neutral site. That's it. They also have history with both Auburn and Georgia.
While Alabama has only done the one home and home (Penn State) since 2007, ALL of our neutral site opponents (Clemson, Virginia Tech, Michigan, West Virginia, Wisconsin, USC, Florida State, and Louisville) have played in and won at least one BCS/New Years Six Bowl in that time frame. The whole "Bama doesn't play anybody" thing has ben debunked many times over.

Alabama has tried to entice students into staying longer by using a phone application that tracks location and rewards Tide Loyalty Points: 100 per game for attending a home football game and 250 per game for staying all four quarters. The points can be used toward priority access to student football tickets.
You gotta admit, this is just plain weird but so "Alabama".

Alabama’s angry that they’re not being listened to, sorry, this isn’t the SEC office.

Alabama should try not importing as many New Jersey and NE kids as possible if they want more loyalty. The place is overrun with yanks faking southern accents now.

Good!
That felt weird.

Personally, I'd be fine playing 8 games and just dumping all of us in a bucket. The divisional thing is a relic of the past and there is no reason for us to play Arkansas and Texas A&M every season. It makes no sense.
I am starting to lean this way as well. We get to play Florida at Florida this year. I doubt we do that again while I am still breathing.
I am all for the bucket draw at this point.

We put an entertaining new product on the field. Watching Bama win is old hat. Don’t be so salty.

FSU scheduled the UF game.
And they scheduled the Notre Dame game (they had 8 other ACC opponents that season). I understand the contracts. But they go on the road for 2 home and homes on top of their neutral site games.
You arent understanding where Bama is lacking in this. And it frames the term Gump very well.

Alabama and cry baby Saban bitch and moan about everything. Screw bama.

UPDATE - Gus Malzahn takes shot at Alabana:
Malzahn takes shots at Alabama early kick complaint
On Tuesday, 150 miles east of Tuscaloosa in Auburn, Gus Malzahn fired a shot across the bow of his program's cross-state rival.

Malzahn takes shots at Alabama early kick complaint
On Tuesday, 150 miles east of Tuscaloosa in Auburn, Gus Malzahn fired a shot across the bow of his program's cross-state rival.
quote:
"Our guys are excited to be back home for our second home game, playing a very solid Kent State team, 6 p.m. kick," the seventh-year head coach said, before digging in. "Personally, I wish it was at noon. We'd have more time to prepare for our next opponent."
quote:
Then he was asked whether that six-hour difference is worth the challenges that come with playing in the noon heat of late September. Malzahn simply smiled.
"That's a good question," he said.
And his answer is?
"My answer is I wish we were playing at noon."
Cecil Hurt fires back on live TV..
quote:
It was an interesting quip from Malzahn about the rival Tide.
Well, it didn’t take long for someone to respond. Alabama columnist Cecil Hurt was a guest on the Paul Finebaum Show and had a message for Malzahn.
“For me, I think it’s a great idea. I think every Auburn game should start at noon. I think [Malzahn] does need an extra six hours of preparation,” Hurt said.
