You know that all of those teams listed as an opponent for Bama do a better job scheduling home and homes than Bama?


- LSU's last good home and home series was Virginia Tech when Saban was there, MAYBE Arizona State 15 years ago? Their best games have all been neutral site (Oregon, TCU, Wisconsin (2x), Miami)

- Auburn's only home and home series in the last 10 years was Clemson (twice) and Washington State (worst team in P5 at the time Washington State)

- Wisconsin is notoriously AWFUL at OOC schedules - their only good OOC schedules in the last decade have been playing Alabama and LSU 2x (all neutral site)

- Washington's OOC schedules have also been abysmal - their H/H power 5 games the last 5 years : Illinois, Rutgers, @ Rutgers (their best game, Auburn, neutral site)

- Oregon has played.......Michigan State and Tennessee? Virginia? Their 2 best OOC games have been Auburn and LSU (neutral site)



Come on man - this is silly

You keep trying to make this a conference issue when it’s completely an Alabama issue.

That is 4 home and home games in 10 years.
Better than Bama?

Yet they schedule more home and homes than Bama and still manage 3 neutral sites against the SEC in the past 10 years.

So in a decade, they have 6 home and home games and 2 more neutral sites. Better than Bama?


I understand the strains of putting a schedule out years in advance. I mean, your AD might have to purchase software with a calendar that goes out to 2030 to be able to manage that. How does every other team in the country manage? Maybe they do it at noon on Saturday because they have night games in September.
