re: I think the conspiracy theorists might be right about Alabama's schedule

Believe it or not at one time Tennessee was the tougher opponent of the two! In the 70's Florida was terrible and most of the 80's it was not until Spurrier arrived that Florida became stronger and even then Tennessee was probably the 2nd best team in the SEC in the years Florida won the SEC!

If you haven't noticed conference home games are played every other year! So next year Alabama will be on the road? What's your point?

3.) Meanwhile, Alabama gets to end the year with four home games, including one at BDW. We still have a tough game against Auburn, but I guess the SEC scheduling office couldn't leave Auburn off the schedule.

The road schedule looked really hard this year. At the beginning of the year I expected to lose 2 games against Arky, Tenn, Ole Miss, and LSU. I thought we might be out of it already.

We got really lucky QB play has been better than expected and Tennessee and Ole Miss weren't as good as expected.
