For the '12 bridge schedule, they just kept the same cross-division rotation that had been used previously. Therefore, each team added the cross-division opponent that it last played in the '08 season with 4 exceptions:
1. Bama played Mizzou instead of UGA
2. UF played A&M instead of Ole Miss
3. UGA played Ole Miss instead of Bama
4. Ole Miss played UGA instead of UF
So, two teams (Bama and UF) were picked to play the new additions (Mizzou and A&M) and the two teams they were supposed to play (UGA and Ole Miss) played each other.
The exact same methodology is apparent in the '13 schedule. Each team added the cross-division opponent that it last played in the '09 season with 4 exceptions:
1. Ole Miss plays Mizzou instead of USC
2. Vandy plays A&M instead of State
3. USC plays State instead of Ole Miss
4. State plays USC instead of Vandy
So, two teams (Ole Miss and Vandy) were picked to play the new additions (Mizzou and A&M) and the two teams they were supposed to play (USC and State) played each other
Conclusion
A consistent methodology was used to create the bridge schedule based on the previous cross-division rotation.

to be honest, i don't think many LSU fans care who Auburn plays this year. they just want Bama to play as tough of opponents as the rest of us...
It's only about them and 'bama?
Well, in that case, frick all of them. I'm glad they have UGA this year.

very concise summary of what is happening.
They don't care though, and will ignore.

you can't play every team, just wait until it rotates. LSU had easy schedules in 2011 and prior and Bama had hard then, it has rotated

LMAO...you throwing around words like "Facts" and "Analysis" makes LSU fans all googly eyed....this is some funny shite.

Who gives a frick? We're Bama.
We are the reason Southern Football earned a name and reputation. We're the reason the rest of the country took a step back stopped looking at the South as a joke - full of inept, uneducated, untalented hicks - following the Civil War.
We've carried the entire conference on our backs for decades, along with some occasional help from schools like Tennessee, Florida, and even Auburn.
Conclusion
We run this bitch, and we'll schedule whoever the frick we want... because we've EARNED it.

You can blame LSU fans for the monumental bitch fest that has been ongoing and has made the SEC Rant unbearable.

You bitches weren't "suspicious" in 2010 when Alabama played 6 different SEC opponents who were coming off a BYE week prior to playing us. You told us Bama fans to stop our whining and moaning.

Sarc - Thanks for that simple explanation.
Does Bama have an easier schedule than LSU? Yes
Is it a conspiracy? No

Impossible. Unless you count day A-Day, Bama can't play Bama.

Also, you forgot to add in Auburn in here since they got the schedule benefit.
He probably left off Auburn for the same reason he left off Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss. St., Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee. He was obviously listing the differences in schedules among teams who actually have a chance to win the SEC title.
quote:
2 - Alabama (LSU, Texas A&M)
2 - Texas A&M (Alabama, LSU)
2 - South Carolina (Florida, Georgia)
3 - Florida (Georgia, LSU, South Carolina)
3 - Georgia (Florida, LSU, South Carolina)
4 - LSU (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M)
Auburn does not belong on a list like this.

Sure you can, considering most teams are playing the teams that they were supposed to.

"You" being LSU fans in general, of course. And there was plenty of it.
