No its not likely going to. But IMO Auburn should be campaigning harder and louder about changing up the schedules to make things more fair.

According to S&P+, here are how many times since 2012 each SEC team has played a Top 3 ranked SOS nationally:

You are usually pretty fair, but those are some very misleading numbers.

Here is the final SOS of Alabama and AU each year since 2009 according to TeamRankings. Keep in mind that AU has the advantage of playing Bama each year. Bama has had the toughest SOS in the country 5 times, AU 3; top three 7 times in 10 years, AU 4 times. Bama's easiest sched has been #7, AU had had 15, 37, 27 and 24. That's with AU getting to play Bama each year.

18: Ala 1, AU 7
17: Ala 6, AU 1
16: Ala 1, AU 7
15: Ala 1, AU 15
14: Ala 2, AU 1
13: Ala 7, AU 3
12: Ala 1, AU 37
11: Ala 3, AU 27
10: Ala 6, AU 1
09: Ala 1, AU 24

AU's has been tough but, Bama has played the hardest schedule in the country during this dynasty. They have the hardest schedule in history and 3 or so of the top 10 hardest sched in history. Again, your post was misleading.

Gus has firmly placed AU in football purgatory for the last 5 yrs. He’s doing the best he can do while basically forcing the fan base to lower their expectations. He’s a good coach that has kept AU on their historical path of 8 wins a year and most years he has his team in the CPF “discussion” a lot of folks are ok with that.
