Yep, the rotation worked out for Bama this year as it also did for A&M and the MS schools.

However UK has been just as good as USCe historically. Hell they beat a national championship team in the reg season not to long ago, I forgot which team but they must've really lucked/backed in the BCSCG to have a reg season loss to UK.

LSU in recent years had played WVU, Oregon, AU, Bama and UF.

3 of those every year.

And next year we play UF, UGA, TCU...

I'm not sure what scheduling you're eluding to. We typically have a solid SOS.

It's an easier schedule this year and last, but that is just how the cards fell. Heck, a lot of people picked Mizzou to compete for (if not win) the east last year. It just so happened that they crapped the bed last year. In 2011 LSU played UF, UK & UT, while Bama played UT, UF and Vandy. And I'm not even going to get into the 2010 schedule.

Well even if you don't play Florida, LSU can't beat bama. Then yal will want to move to the easy because you can't get past Saban. Try winning something that matters, it's been since 2007, and even then you lost 2 games



Typical dickbag response. Dumbass.

It isn't how the cards fell. If it was how the cards fell, LSU wouldn't play Georgia in the regular season before Alabama. And we both know it.

Nine conference game schedules could force teams to drop that fourth cupcake out-of-conference game, which would make fans, especially season ticket holders, happy campers.

Keeping permanent cross-divisional games is an obvious ploy to keep an unfair competitive advantage against a minority of teams, and that is why it survives—fairness in scheduling is not a high priority among the majority of SEC schools—simple fact of life.

On the other hand, the Big-10 is all about being fair.

A conscious decision was made to take Georgia off Alabama's schedule and put them on LSU's.

But would also jeopardize OOC rivalries UF, UGA, UK, USC

Dude, it was a stop gap schedule to get us through the expansion crap. Neither you or I have any earthly idea what factors went into making this year's schedule. If you really think that Bama or the REC imposed it's will on the schedule based on one year, then you are crazier than this guy:
