Maybe. Then again, 2012's looked pretty hard before the first game was played.

I like the set up though, and the byes where they are. Bama should have a good track to ATL again. Like having the Aggies early.

ATL...most likely. Not sure if our SOS will take us much further.

What? We'll be number one to start the season, and no one is gonna move us down if we go 13-0. We will have played LSU, Texas A&M, a V-Tech team that should be a lot better, and probably Florida. UT/Arky/Aubie will likely be better next season, they can't do that much worse.

Don't be ridiculous. As long as Bama wins, they control their destiny. This is still the SEC.

When was the last time we had an off week after the opener? That will feel strange.

Wow, only 3 games in September. When was the last time that happened?

I still wish we had scheduled a decent AQ team instead of CSU. Probably would've been difficult to do on such short notice, but with VT being down and drawing Mizzou and UK from the East, we needed another good game not a 3rd cupcake IMO.

Schedules like that are how Paterno and Bowden racked up so many wins in their careers. No reason why we shouldn't be playing teams like USC, Ohio State or even Nebraska. It's pathetic.

Scheduling Colorado State isn't the problem. At least Colorado State is a Mountain West school with a good football history. But it's inexcusable to play teams like Georgia State and Chattanooga. There's zero reason to have teams like that in our schedule especially with the SEC now having two bye weeks. I don't know why Saban is so obsessed with playing schools from BCS conferences on a neutral field. If our team is so badass, they shouldn't fear anybody. Play them anytime anywhere. I hate this pussy scheduling.

Yea me too CMP. I'm glad we have two off weeks next season and we got them before our two most difficult games imho. We owe A&M a beating next year.
