You should have some staffers rope off your schedule so people can't mess with it.

And you people thought Bama fans were entitled crybabies when they were winning. Good lord you are insufferable losers. Just win your games


We're not being compared to be the #1 team here. We're talking about in comparison to other teams with losses and multiple losses.

I think the entire format is stupid, but don't sit around tell me teams like ND should be ranked ahead because they shouldn't be.

Go whine somewhere else. Bye’s are a part of the game.

I don't want any whining about OU getting a bye between @ Tennessee and @Alabama.

It's stacking the deck against Bama but it's been this way for years. The schedule always puts Bama at a disadvantage with byes.


It’s all good. Whatever hinders Bama schedule-wise, the refs make up for, ten fold.

The SEC old guard stuffing Bama fans in a locker and I'm here for it.

So it’s only two teams that had a bye when you didn’t. Big deal.

Ohio State has never, and I said never had a bye before Michigan.
Neither has Michigan before us. Big Ten doesn’t have byes 2nd to last week. OP is just making $hi! Up

It’s always been this way. The SEC tried to put a rule in place for it after basically every team scheduled a bye before Bama but here we are.

Why? Because Bama? You have better wins. They have better losses. Maybe don't leave it up to them

Hopefully the conference addresses this going forward. There’s no such thing as a balanced schedule.


I mean, in fairness Alabama was off also in 3 of those 4 games, so they only faced two teams that had a bye week in which Alabama also didn't have a bye week.

It's not like Alabama had a ton of teams with an advantage.

For instance, using the exact same logic you used Georgia played:

Marshall
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Texas

All of those teams had a bye week before we played them.
We did not have an off week before playing Auburn or Texas.

I have yet to see a single thread of Georgia fans complaining about this horrific unfair scheduling.

You guys need to stop crying. Georgia played 5 teams this year that had byes before they played us. Do teams schedule bye weeks before they play Alabama? I'm sure they do. They also do before they play Georgia, so it's not like the whole world is dead set against Alabama.

ETA
Gotta love these Alabama fans that, when faced with logic and facts hit the down vote button and run and hide instead of admitting they are wrong, and being silly.

I went back to 2006 and to that point this is correct. I felt like it was a waste of time to go back further.

E. Illinois - Lindenwood


I expect Bama to beat Eastern Illinois.

Lindenwood sort of took away from Tony Romo’s alma mater’s time to prep for Bama.

Also when you play Lindenwood, it’s very physical. It takes weeks to recover.

Don’t cry when the refs can’t help you outside of SEC play.

OU played AT Tennessee, and AT Bama. OU won both which has never been done before. They deserved a week off.
