Good to know!
I was getting a little worried that LSU, TAMU, Ole Miss, and (cough-cough) Auburn may actually be quality teams.
LSU and AtM should be quality teams. Ole Miss and AU would have to be much better than expected to be classified in the same group.
I merely indicated that for an SEC team, Bama's schedule this season looks like a cake walk. Much like UGA's last year.

Alashama plays 2 teams in all the projected preseason top 25 polls and rankings. 2 out of 12.
Two.
A&M and LSU.
LSU plays - FIVE.
TCU, Georgia, Florida, A&M, and Shama.
Problem is them pumping certain schools over others. I put Michigan, Southern Cal, and Texas in this group. Over the past year I think the B12 is getting more media love than they deserve and do not think TCU will be a Top 25 team much more now they are in the B12.
Nobody will doubt the SEC teams in your list but putting TCU in there is just padding. The issue is Georgia and Florida as extra burden to LSU which has some merit but is the SEC east better right now or just basking in the burning embers of the dumpster fires at Auburn and Arkansas? If the Vols did not have their own dumpster fire would LSU complain about the Gators if the Bama vs Vols was more like the rival games of old?
Things are cyclical but over time the better teams always rise to the top more often.

My IRL bama friends hate the schedule this year. Only on this board do you have bama fans trying to justify it.
oh and did CC go to LSU? I thought only LSU fans cried about scheduling.
I also recall a ton of bitching from the bama fan base about bi weeks a few years ago.
Glass houses and whatnot.

Don't like it? Beat everyone on your schedule and it doesn't matter.
The winner of the SEC is in the NC game. It's reachable by every team in both divisions. Instead of bitching about Bama's easy road, BEAT THEIR ASSES and you don't have to worry. Unless, LSU fans are worried that their team is simply not good enough?

What problem? The league AD's made the schedule. We are going to play it.
So your position is that's its unreasonable to suspect anything shady here yet when prevented with facts you are unable to so much as even provide an alternative hypothesis as to how else that could have happened?

Three years ago, coming off a national title, we played South Carolina and Florida in the regular season.
Why didn't the SEC fix it for us that year? Did they forget about the conspiracy?

Lol what?
So... if bama beats lsu and aTm you're saying everyone will say they sucked anyway?
is that what you're saying? Because it's exactly what you typed

I don't get the bitching about Bama's schedule either. One of their east opponents is set every year with UT and it just so happens that UT has been down recently. They won't always be and when they return to better football, Bama's schedule will become one of the toughest.

If you want to tell fans to quit whining about the schedule, good. If you want to argue that Alabama doesn't have a relatively easy schedule this year, well, you are going to need much more than this.

If Bama goes out early in the season and rolls TAMU, you will see TONS of people on this board talking about how TAMU was overrated.
You can mark it down and quote me on that.

Why are LSU fans only looking/comparing Bama's Schedule? There are 12 other teams in the league, some years some teams have tough schedules someyears not so bad, it all depends on the how the teams in he SEC are that year- Teams Change each year- USCe was a total shite show/homecoming type of team for most of their stint in the SEC- they've really only been good for 3-4 years. UT is in the doghouse for now but they are top 3 in the SEC historically. Au has been shite the last 2 years, ARk was shite last year. cycles happen.
The problem is LSU has lost to Bama 4 of the last 6 games, including 21-0 and that has made LSU fans grasp for anything they can to excuse the fact that During some of the best of their history Bama is kicking them down.

I'm not putting in the effort to sift through the pages and see the exact point you were making. I'm lumping you in with the general mob mentality. Speaking in generalities is much easier. Sorry if you're an outlier who got caught in the fray
