So in 2011 LSU played no good teams from the SEC East yet not one person that I recall made a comment about this.

LSU hadn't played South Carolina since 2008. Bama played them last in 2010. Somebody has to play them. As you recall Missouri was predicted by many to be good and many people felt going into the Georgia game that Missouri would win that game. As a fan I would have much rather have left UGA on the schedule, but Missouri was predicted to be good and the SEC needed to get them some marquee home games in their first season to stoke the excitement among their fanbase and to get TV ratings in that market.

I have no idea how they determined the 2013 schedules, but if I was a betting man I would guess it involved the REC and a huge scheduling party at Mike Slive's house.

Something that often gets lost in all the whinging and crying is that, prior to expansion, UK was scheduled to rotate onto Bama's schedule and UGA was due to rotate onto LSU's schedule in the '13 season. That's how the schedules were determined.
