Huh?

You just said Bama was the only school that played more games than all other SEC teams back then.

That is 100% false.

So this whole thing isn't about LSU not wanting to play Florida, but about LSU fans wanting UA to play a harder schedule?

Did I get that right?

Correct, and if that's not possible then make them as even as possible.

As it stands Alabama has a built in advantage and that's the problem here.

Draconian Sanctions, so LSU signed off on playing UF two separate times, and didn't decide to bitch about it until the bridge shite came about.

Will yall be ok after the bridge is over and we get back to the rotation?

We didn't sign on for it so much as it was forced upon us.

Sure, right now this is true. But there was no built in advantage when they were kicking our arse. You want to punish two fanbases because one team has hit a historic low. Thats not fair.

Well #1 the bridge schedule was only supposed to last one year so we'll see if it ever does end.

#2 no because 1 perm 2 rotations is better than 1 perm 1 rotation because now you will get these seasons where you get UT and KY. At least before it would have been UT, KY and UF/UGA so it wasn't as bad.

Under the current cfb landscape the UT job is significantly harder than it has been in the past. It is not likely they will be what they were again for a very very long time.

And even if you're right, it's still less unfair than one team getting an easier route to Atlanta than other teams. That is a fundamental problem.

So than drop off UF and start playing UK or Mizz every year. It just silly to sit there and say its not fair Bama's traditional rivalry is boring now so it should stop. like I said, leave our games alone

Shouldn't the cause of your troubles be placed solely at what is the ineptitude of Missouri football?

I mean is they weren't one of the worst teams in FBS, would there be a problem?

It is high time to kick Missouri out of the SEC and get a real team.

I don't want LSU to play an easy Bama schedule, I want Bama to play a hard LSU schedule.

Well I don't want the whims of other fanbases to influence a 100 year old rivalry.

Post the SOS for LSU and UA for the past decade. If there is as much of a discrepancy as you say than I will concede defeat and write angry letters to Battle demanding better OOC games.

Bunch of gump pansies posting crap about schedules. All they want is to make sure they have the easiest path to the BCS. They own the only Championship mulligan in sports history. Bunch of babies...

What does OOC have to do with this and what SOS formula would you like to use and why?

It's not a whim. It's about competitive balance and its extremely selfish of you to put your own secondary rivalry above that.
