So you jump off the bridge schedule argument when you see how unbalanced it's been.


I didnt jump off anything. I am saying using two years for your argument is highly skewed considering the amount of teams and the time it take to rotate. You are blinded by your homerism and hatred of Bama

The beautiful thing about championship games is that they take the air right out of this argument.

Yes, the schedules were and are unbalanced. Yes, at this particular time, Alabama has benefitted. But if you didn't deserve to be in the game, it makes it rather moot when you actually win it. Same thing for the BCS title game. Regardless of who had the easier road, when you line up and win the championship game, you've pretty much proven yourself.

The rest is just wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Well, Bama played Vandy (2-6) Tenn and UF.

LSU played Kentucky (2-6) Tenn and UF.

But Kentucky is historically a better program than Vanderbilt. That's how this works, isn't it?

LOL, nice try

But since you didnt answer my question, in both 2010 and 2011 LSU played an easier East division schedule

It really doesn't though. The two teams in the SEC championship last year played cross divisional opponents of Missouri, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Auburn. Yeah, so they played each other at the end of the season. But would they have even been there if they had to play top competition from the opposite division?

The only real way to fix the schedules is to expand to 16 and play in a sort of pod system, with 4 mini-divisions.

I literally just explained to you how they didn't play an easier schedule in 2011.

LSU east opponents had 1 more loss than Bama. if you are going to use historical value of the program as your argument, then Bama's is much harder considering UT>UF

And after looking it up, historicaly Vandy>UK football because of the conference championship tiebreaker

Kentucky and Vanderbilt had the same SEC record.

If you're including overall schedules, then there's no contest. LSU's schedule was way stronger than Bama's.

Kentucky also has a national title and a couple SEC ones, and a .499 win percentage to Vandy's .498, SO PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT.

Sorry for shouting.

Isnt the debate about cross divisional games? I believe so. So LSU's overall schedule doesnt matter one bit

So do you think Bama has 15 national Championships and if you do and are going to claim UK's as well, then Vandy still > UK with 2 NC's

It's odd that I've never seen Tenn fans complain about having to play Alabama every year, especially with them as down as they are, and Bama winning as many Championships as they are winning.

I've never seen a Florida fan complain about having to play Lsu either.

If you need someone to vent to, I'm here. I'd be going crazy if Nick Saban left my school only to return to another school and perform even better.
