re: Alabama Schedule

Here's the bottom line. If you want Bama to play a tougher SEC schedule, it's imperative for the SEC to go to a nine-game conference slate. With an eight game schedule, SEC teams are only playing two out of the possible seven teams in the opposite division and one of those teams are a permanent opponent every year. There's a 50% chance that Bama will avoid playing USCe, UGA, and Florida in any given year. There's no conspiracy to help Bama.

You gotta admit that it's fishy.. they roll out a new 2-year temporary schedule and it's stacked to help Georgia/Alabama out. They could have easily fixed the schedule up so both LSU and Alabama get 1 tough opponent from the east.. and Florid and Georgia get 1 tough opponent from the west.
