It has only been the last 5 years that UT has been down that makes it feel inequitable.
No, it was when the 5-1-2 schedule was changed to the 5-2-1 for 2003. That's when Kentucky dropped off of LSU's schedule as a permanent East opponent. At least under the 5-1-2 model each team was given an historically tough opponent, and a historially not so tough opponent.
The fact of the matter is I want to play all of the east teams more often, and not have to wait 12 years between road games against UT and UGA.

Once again as has been stated many times, when TN was beating Bama like a drum in the mid 90's and reeled off 7 straight wins, did you ever hear a Bama fan suggest we drop them?
Likewise, when Florida was beating LSU like a drum--losing one game to LSU from 1988 to 2001--you never heard an LSU fan suggest they drop them either I bet. So what?
Now Tennessee is dog shite, and Florida is a perennial SEC power.

I don't know why we can't just adopt the Spurrier solution. Only count games within the same division when it comes to determining who wins their division.
Then Bama/UT, Auburn/UGA, LSU/Florida can continue (which they should since they are entertaining games of great value when both teams are good) and the issue of scheduling fairness becomes a non-issue.

Again, all you care about is THE bama obsession. It is obvious despite all of the denials.

The only argument against this they can come up with is it kills the dynamics between East and West. (a bs excuse)

Sure, but are y'all going to whine again when bama loses to the east opponents and lsu wins, yet bama still gets to the title game?

What's the point in playing conference games if they don't count. Why even play cross division games.

I guess repeating this over and over again must mean it's true.

It being true makes it true. Repeating let's you know all of the other BS you are sputtering is exactly that. Every argument made focuses only on a comparison between LSU and Bama.

Play them. That's not the issue. But don't let them count as a division deciding game.
Posted on 5/21/13 at 12:38 pm to ibldprplgld
Well when you have your blinders on and can only use one team for your argument, it's pretty obvious.

the same reason you play out of conference games
and they obviously still count when it comes to teams hoping to win a NC

Why? It doesn't count towards anything. Might as well disband the sec and have two conferences that just have a permanent prebowl game.

Yeah, but who cares about the rest of the conference, Alabama wouldn't have a schedule advantage over LSU.

Something in this statement needs to be highlighted, underlined and bolded, just not sure what. I'll let you be the judge.

yes, the word reason... because you refuse to apply it to this subject.
the games between auburn/uga, lsu/florida, alabama/tenn would remain prime-time worthy events with national championship implications
