Joel Klatt breaksdown Alabama's "atrocious" schedule. Of all top ten teams, Bama plays the fewest games of any team on the road on an opp's home field.

Alabama "actively schedules the weakest teams" in the country and gets away with it. Ouch!

Not like it matters when the entire SEC ties themselves to train tracks and lets Bama run them over.

We tried, we just didn’t get away with it (Troy).

Come on dude, these schedules are done years in advance and we can’t help if we’ve played the bottom of the conference do far.

Uh, we scheduled what on paper was the most difficult opening game in history for a preseason #1. Can't help that FSU didn't hold up their end of the bargain.

Bama actively sets up neutral site games against P5 opponents. Saban's actually been a huge influence on the recent rush for P5 teams to schedule other P5 teams to open the season. Klatt is being highly disingenuous.

You do realize that LSU has the exact same format as bama right?

Power 5 “neutral site” game in the South
2 group of 5 teams
1 FCS team

Joel Klatt is a fricking tool.

And to be honest this is the pathway that a lot of Southeastern teams take, and I don't even just mean SEC teams.

It's not that they don't try, it's not Alabama's fault that Francois got injured and thus Florida State was bad.

Joel Klatt is a known SEC hater. He’s trash.

True road games against P5 in the last Ten years: 2.


That's pathetic.

And why are two neutral site games inherently easier than a home and home?

Joel Klatt looks like Martin Short imitating Joel Klatt.

50-50 fan split versus only 7000 fans for Bama.

And on the second half of a home and home, a road team has to play in front of 100,000 Bama fans

The dynasty was over after losing to Ohio State by a touchdown in 2014.
Ole Miss figured out Alabama in 2015. Bama defense is plodding white boy big 10 team.
Mike Dantonio is a much better coach than Saban
Last year QB's that can run and pass accurately are Bamas Achilles heel. Well know shite who can guard that?

Now it's this hog wash. Hell Klatt picked FSU to make it to the CFP. Hot take city these guys are.

A neutral site with 50-50 fan split is the fairest way possible to play any athletic competition, fool!

Has anybody ever been as wrong as Klatt, Travis, and Cowherd?
