re: Fox Sports - Alabama actively plans an "atrocious schedule" and gets away with it

There is no neutral site for a Bama team that has bandwagon fans everywhere you go

Let's put it this way - playing 2-10 Arizona in the middle of a literal den of Wildcats in Tucson would be less difficult than playing 2016 Southern Cal at Bryant-Denny.

Bad teams are bad teams. Good teams are good teams. Location of the game might have some sway over games that are between similar teams, but the idea that a road game always harder than a neutral/home game is laughable.

We only apply that logic to OOC games. Does anyone go "well shite Ohio State is going to Rutgers that's a tougher game than Penn State at home"? No, nobody does. Because it's stupid.
