re: If LSU and Bama arent rivals, then why do we both...

Schedule our bye week before each other EVERY SINGLE YEAR? I think this is the biggest matchup and rivalry in college football every year, Gumps just like to deny it. Guaranteed this game has the most ratings in the regular season this year. Oh and Gumps, LSU is coming to kick that arse, and yall know it. Yall scared...

Saban had four options based on the SEC schedule he was given by the SEC office. Those would have been week 2, 4, 9, 12. Saban isn't going to take a bye after only three games and he isn't going to wait until he's played 11 so really the week before LSU was the only logical choice. We could be playing vandy in two weeks and Bama is still taking the bye next week.
