Saban pulled that program, which had always been middle of the road, to heights they hadn't seen in 50 years and really had not been successful amount the upper echelons throughout it's history. He was the first coach in a long, long, long time that wasn't just a complete loser.
It's just another reason to rail on Saban. They don't really hate Bama like they say. They hate Saban and Bama happens to be guilty by association.

Watch most any Alabama game and you'll see Bama players getting away with stuff their opponent does not. I'm not saying the SEC conspires to help Alabama, and it's probably just officials thinking Alabama should win, so they look the other way. Either way, it's been ongoing for the Saban era and probably longer.

WHY would the SEC conspire to cheat for Bama?
WHY?
SEC office stocked with Bama grads
Mark Womack, Bama alum, was in charge of scheduling during the "bridge" seasons and Bama miraculously drew Missouri and Kentucky from the east. LSU drew Georgia and USCe (when they were good).
Dick Burelson, SEC ref for decades, was a well known Bama fan and was the replay official supervisor for the PP7 int

I'll give you that one. Bad call by the officials.
But that's my point, that's just part of the Game. There was a pic of an Alabama receiver scoring a TD a few years back, against Auburn I think, that the officials missed. It cost Bama the Game.These things happen. No team is immune to bad calls.
I think if there was actual evidence of the conference cheating for Alabama, other universities' officials would be more vocal. Have any SEC member school's officials accused the conference of favoring Alabama?
I don't believe Alabama is cheating in recruiting. I believe they play within the rules. Saban is known for for finding and exploiting loopholes in the rules, and I believe he takes full advantage of those. All good programs do.
I think Alabama is willing to give its football program carte blanche in what Saban wants, and this is the reason for it's unprecedented success.

Bama winning is very profitable for the SEC. Very. Bama is iconic and has a very large, national fanbase. They have the best chance every year of winning a national title. It makes perfect sense for Bama to get calls and non-calls in SEC play. A winning Bama is a winning SEC.
Much like the Patriots or the Bulls with Jordan or the Lakers with Kobe or any team with Lebron...the big stars get calls or non-calls. Saban gets calls. It's just the way it is. Saban is the best college football coach in history -- refs don't want to let him down; it's part of the psychology of sports.
Mix Bama being profitable for the league, Saban, the best players, and a program willing to win and any cost -- it's deadly for the rest of the SEC and nation. Unbeatable.

Even if it's true, surely you can see how someone would be suspicious of the bridge schedules, right?

Yeah but what about the B1G offices?

Y’all just don’t get it. Their is no “reason” for the LSU’s true believers. They are religious zealots who will find “proof” of their obsession in any and every game. It is so strong a belief in some LSU FANS like tuthill, that reffereeing in games hundreds of miles away that merely effect the ranking of Alabama is suspect...
Reason, logic, facts..... useless with these people. Faced with data that shows ...say... a 1:2 differential in penalty yardage favoring Alabama’s opponent, they will earnestly avow it was WHEN the penalties were called that proves the corruption. Honestly, it is the saddest, most delusional mass hysteria in college football. But at least it is entertaining... in the same way that a Spanish bull fight is...

True. All fans complain about refs making bad calls.
But have there been ANY complaints by ANY SEC member school officials concerning favoritism towards Bama?

frick it, I’ll play. Patrick Peterson interception is an example
If the refs were conspiring, they blew a great chance to do it in a big game when it mattered.
Lsu WR benefited from a similar call in the UF game last year that went the other way.
Refs miss calls all the time. The losing team just happens to focus on them more; it's human nature to help rationalize a loss.

I hope so. Of course, we saw what happened to Ole Miss when they did. Does Saban have the kind of pull to get the same done to a real program?
Wait, you think Saban is responsible for Ole Miss getting in trouble? Did I read that correctly?
