Why do some people say LSU shouldn't have had Georgia on their schedule?
quote:
We played both UF and USCe in2010.
Congrats...We played UF and USCe in 2012. You played UT and Mizzou.
This season we play UF and UGA. You play UT and Kentucky.
Bingo...and there's your common denominator. For butthurt LSU fans, this isn't about the bridge schedule or adding ATM and Mizzou, or anything like that. It's about having Florida as a permanent cross-division opponent.

Personally I don't really think too much about the schedule. I suspect the coaches and the players aren't sitting around saying, "Boy, I wish we hadn't played UGA yesterday".

I used to get upset about the LSU people complaining about that because i wanted to keep the Bama-Tennessee annual rivalry but i now agree with the LSU fans. I wanna see all permanent cross division games eliminated and i want us to rotate them all out. Now if only Auburn and Mizzou would swap divisions that would be beautiful.

Because a Bama alumni and former member of their athletic department has been in charge of the "Bridge Schedule" and since then over the last three years of the alleged one year bridge schedule which ir going to be four or five years at least Alabama has gotten the bottom two teams in the SEC East while we have gotten to play the best two each of last three years.
It you think it is ok, then for the next few years we can just let Steve Spurrier's brother do it.
It's all good since Bama is about to be 0-14 for 2012.

LSU fans should quit the bitching about schedules.
In 2007, 2010, and 2011, LSU defeated Alabama and finished higher in the SEC West standings. In 2007 and 2011, they went on to the national championship.
In 2008, 2009, and 2012, Alabama defeated LSU and won the division. In 2009 and 2012, Alabama won the national championship.
Don't blame scheduling for Florida being the better team on 10/6/12 and Georgia being the better team yesterday. LSU was in the position to win both games and failed. Blame the LSU coaches or players but don't blame the SEC office. Schedule don't dictate how good or bad a team will be. 2011 faced the toughest regular season schedule in BCS history if not ever and went 13-0.

Florida played Bama in 2009, and 2010, GAg didn't, and now they don't get Bama next year, but we do again?
But it is true that you never know how good a team is going to be when you make the schedule. It is what it is.

I don't know why LSU is complaining about Florida being their cross divisional rivals as UF haven't been a consistently good team since the 1990's.
If you go back over the last 10 years 2002-2012 they lost 4 or more games 6 times over that stretch with only 4 seasons with a good record (2005, 2008-9, 2012)

2009 was the SECCG, so not a scheduled game.

This. Also some of these gumps act like they are the only team in the West to have to make room to play aTm.
They've benefitted from this multiple "one year" bridge schedule deal, yet they won't admit it.
Not that it changes anything about the games LSU loses. Those losses are on LSU, but Bama doesn't need any help. They have clearly been the best team in CFB with 3 of the last 4 NCs.
I also used to like the UF permanent game since LSU became relevant again. Hated it in the 90s, but have liked it until we went to 14 teams. The permanent cross rival schedules just don't make sense anymore with 14 teams.

And that Alabama should have played them? What happened?
Uga was supposed to roll onto bama schedule ( bama hasn't played Uga since 2008) and Uga got replaced with Kentucky.
Uga wasn't supposed to be an away game for lsu. It was supposed to Uga @ lsu since we played @ Uga just 3 years ago.

So why didn't our buddies in the SEC office give us our home game with Kentucky and our away game with Vandy? What the hell happened to those two games?
Explain why bama got 4 home west games in 2012-13 an everyone else 3
