That not an alternative hypothesis.


That's avoiding the issue and going into attack mode. Again.

How many times does this have to be explained? The rotations were kept to a large degree and it was even said that they tried to stick to it as much as possible. With one glowing exception: LSU was to rotate on Kentucky and Bama was to rotate on Georgia. This was swapped at the last second. The SEC's head of scheduling is a Bama grad. If you wish to take the position that it's ridiculous to think there was something shady going on here that's fine, all I ask is for the real reason why this happened or, barring that, some type or reasonable explanation as how that went down.

Again, with the LSU-centric thinking and ignoring the rest of the league. It's all about LSU and Bama. Forget Georgia's schedule. Forget adding two new teams.

Tell me. How would YOU have made the schedule?


I want somebody who has a problem with the scheduling to change it to their version of "fair" and explain their reasoning.

GO.

How did the injury happen, and what was the score at that point?

Maybe, but this type of stuff happens every year. We are hardly the first team to get in the game because another team lost.

You mean an amazing play from CJ Mosly?

That was definitely more of a dumb play by Murray.

Hey, no you haven't. If you were, then you were naysaying an Alabama dynasty years before it even existed. Also, winning 3 NCs in 5 years is a bit more than luck. Also, you're an idiot.

Sorry, I've learned to be a bit skeptical of LSU fans' predictions. When is Saban going to take the Texas job again?

Looking at the schedules that seems pretty easy. Make LSU's road game at UGA a road game at KY instead. Make Alabama's road game at Ky a road game at UGA.

That would give Bama and LSU pretty equal opponents from the opposite division this year (A&M fans should also like what it does to their chances). The Spurrier solution of only considering within division games to determine division champs also seems like an easy solution.

If something shady did happen you should call for your BOT to fire your AD for allowing it to happen.

As has been posted in this thread the AD's were heavily involved in the rotational schedules so I don't see how much of a difference the Bama Grad issue makes. He may have suggested the fix, but he AD's signed off on it. Most likely that was the easiest game to change as it would cause the least havoc on the rest of the schedules. Any number of possible reasons has just as much validity as your "something shady" theory does. I do not know the exac answer, ask your AD why he allowed Alabama to coerce the conference into changing he schedule to their liking.

I reiterate that something shady could have occurred, it is just as likey that on of many other possible reasons mad that game the easiest I switch I allow most other games to remain the same.

You would almost think this doesn't come up every fricking day.

I'm trying to figure out if this topic brings out the retard in rational people, or if it's just a bat signal for all the retards to come out and play.

I think by now this has been talked about so much that a lot of this is copy and paste going through the motions from previous threads.

Is possible to get a list of names of Alabama posters that actually try to defend the bridge schedule?

It would eliminate a lot of unnecessary reading on this site, and instantly raise the level of discussion.

I think it would be a great barometer for determining relevant posters.

Like I have said many times in this thread. I can not address an issue that doesn't actually exist. I don't understand why you cant accept that.

You said we'd claim it. You brought it up. If you think that there isn't some level of subjectivity in claiming NCs prior to the BCS, then you're hopeless.



You claim a title when you finished 20th in the nation with 3 losses and 18 teams finished with a better record. You also claim a title with the exact same situation as 2011 except reversed. You lost to Notre Dame in the bowl game, but still claimed the title.

I will grant you that it's possible there was no foul play here. But can you really blame us for being suspecious? As someone pointed out earlier, how would Alabama fans here and around the net react if the SEC office was in New Orleans, with an LSU grad as the head of scheduling and then from that LSU ended up with 2 very easy schedules in these bridge years?

So, Georgia now has to play Bama instead of LSU? How do you think that's gonna go over?

We don't claim 1966 when we were the nation's only undefeated and un-tied team. Because the polls didn't vote us in.

Sometimes the polls aren't fair, a few times they swing against us and a few times they swung for us.

Are we supposed to just not claim any of them?
