It doesn't nullify the whole tough schedule argument, but having an extra week to prepare for both teams makes your argument a little weaker.

Check that again. We have 2 straight bye weeks before we play Bama.

They always get a bye week before Bama, every season even if we don't get one.

I just had some delicious Chick Fil A. Does it get any better than their chicken sandwiches?

Bama has bye weeks from now until the LSU game.

And what about LSU scheduling a cupcake like State to rest up before the Florida game?

All teams should play only every other week. That way we have a season twice as long.



OK not really.

Bama gets bye weeks before big games every year, so what's your point?

Not sure if its still true but the statistics show more teams actually lose after a bye week.

state could get six months to prep for Alabama and A&M and still have no chance

Actually the fact LSU plays Bama and A&M late could have also presented the issue of screwing them in the tie breaker had they all had 1 loss to each other. That is not possible now, but the schedule the way it is basically eliminated them if they all finished with one loss to each other due to the poll tie breaker.

Wasn't very likely since LSU had to play two of the favorites out of the East while A&M and Bama caught the SEC east teams who have struggled more lately.

That's the kind of treatment a team gets for winning multiple championships... Take note.

You realize that both of those teams have a bye week before LSU as well, right?
