Alabama. True road games against P5 in the last Ten years: 2. That's pathetic.


LSU played Wisconsin at Green Bay, if you skeered, say you skeered and have no balls, Saban.

Klatt lost a title game 70-3. He needs to STFU.

Had a home and home with Michigan State and GT and they backed out after the conference realignment.

I'm almost embarrassed for him.

Make an argument about us playing neutral site games, ok. That's fine. Most of us would probably agree. We want more home and homes too.

But atrocious? In a year we scheduled a OOC game vs a Top 5 team (plus a game against one of the best Group 5 teams)? Atrocious? That's not even trying.

This weekend’s game in T-town is proof of it.

We suck.

This really isnt true. No big name team schedules a home and away very often.

Name the top ten teams that schedule home and aways regularly with big teams. ACC and Notre Dame doesnt count due to their contract.

Now granted if you told me to name College football teams and gave me an hour I dont think I could have named Mercer, but everyone in the SEC hires cupcakes to come.

Klatt is a dope. I know most of y'all don't watch the must see game on FOX on Saturday because y'all "SEC FANS" but he crowns those the winners every time. Hell when USC beat Stanford he acted like it was the best offensive performance of last 30 years. The guy is a clown and hyperbole machine.

man that is retarded

I've seen Alabama play at least one top notch OOC game every single year since Saban has been there, usually against the Big 10 or ACC.

This is a low blow for media attention as well as to prop their Big 10 and 12, but I think Alabama should schedule two power 5 opponents since their permanent rival is in the same division.

Nobody tells Alabama what to do, not even the SEC office.

Bama has a knack for scheduling games that look good during the preseason but wither and die as the season progresses.

I refuse to believe that Saban and his supporting "machine" don't know well in advance which programs are due for a downturn season, based on everything else they seem to know. In other words, Saban knows more about CFB than the AP voters and fans (as if anyone would doubt that) and gives orders to schedule accordingly.

Of course, hate the game not the playa. I bet a good gambling strategy would have been to fade all these teams Alabama schedules in neutral site kickoff classics.

That number's low. It also averages out to be the same once you include the return trip.

If we have played the least amount of non conference road games of the P5 schools then we have also played the least amount of nonconference home games of the P5 schools.

FWIW, the vast majority of Bama fans are absolutely sick of these neutral site games. Our fans spend and travel, but if you end every season with 3 straight neutral site games, it is hard to ask the fans to travel to a 4th to open the season.

Alabama v. Louisville in Orlando next year is going to be boring as hell.

I'm just sick of playing in the same places. I'm fine with neutral sites, but damn, give us some variety.
