We played 7 teams coming of byes last year. The next most was 2 teams coming off byes.

Like I said: You have two SEC dates set in stone every year, which is the main cause of this issue.
Does LSU play Ole Miss on Halloween week/weekend anymore? No.
RA'd myself to move this to the SEC Rant.

the bye isn't the issue... playing two or three top notch teams in a row is an issue
Supposedly Saban's record coming off a bye is much worse than his overall regular season record... but I bet it is pretty solid the week after playing a directional state school
quote:
"Just so everybody knows, we did research on the last five years of all other 11 teams in the SEC and how they did when they had a bye week, and their record is 29-29," Saban said. "I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong, but the statistics kind of prove that it's not an advantage or disadvantage to have a bye week. It probably depends a lot on the circumstances."

Later in the article the writer attempts to insert opinion IMO... by mentioning 5 of the 8 saban/bama losses to that point were to opponents coming off bye weeks... but when you look at the games mentioned the five games were four games from the late season bama swoon in 2007... and the bowl game against Utah (a bowl game in this discussion? really?)
