…is Nick Saban frightened of a 9 game SEC schedule?

Is it Auburn he is scared of?

Tennessee?

or could it be LSU?

We hear a lot of crowing about TSIO, but if we lose that game along w DSOR because of a 1-7 schedule for the long term, we have only tFear to blame…

Saban has been calling for a 9 game conference schedule for years.

Wasn’t he in favor of a 9 game schedule for years?

Because Alabama would be the only one whose permanent 3 opponents would be Big 6 schools and no one else would have that disadvantage.

Non-starter.

We went 31 years in a row without losing a game in Baton Rouge. We use to have to pay property taxes on Tiger Stadium.

He isn’t saying he doesn’t want a 9 game schedule. Everybody else has a vandy, South Carolina or miss st on the yearly schedule. Bama would be the only school to have 3 of the top 6 sec teams on the schedule yearly. The only school that has 3 teams that have won a national title on the schedule every year. That’s his issue and I agree totally. You can’t take away the iron bowl and 3rd Saturday so that leaves state that will probably be the 3rd and now everybody would have one of the bottom 6 yearly.

From what I gather is it's Tn. & if they're considered in "the upper 1/2" or "lower 1/2".

They are listed as "lower 1/2" (which fits the breakdown:

"Upper 1/2" teams get 2 "upper 1/2" & 1 "lower 1/2" (while "lower 1/2" get 2 "lower 1/2" & 1 "upper 1/2"))

But this also preserves TSIO.


Just my take.
