Because Saban bitched and moaned that it wouldn’t be fair, remember? So they gave you State instead.
You are an imbercile. Ms. State is a historical and cherished opponent of Alabama. They have played 109 times dating back to 1896; more than any other opponent.
Compare that to a group of Rantards who dislike Bama because Saban left Miami and feel like that is why Bama should be playing them instead of Ms. State.
LSU is nothing to Alabama and never has been.

Alabama's Nick Saban unhappy over proposed permanent rivals under nine-game SEC scheduling format
"I've always been an advocate for playing more [conference] games," Saban told Sports Illustrated. "But if you play more games, I think you have to get the three fixed [opponents] right. They're giving us Tennessee, Auburn and LSU. I don't know how they come to that [decision]."
Of course, those are Alabama's three biggest rivals. The Iron Bowl between the Crimson Tide and the Tigers is arguably the biggest rivalry in sports, and the Tide's "Third Saturday in October" matchup with Tennessee is huge for Alabama. It's also the biggest annual matchup on the docket for the Volunteers, which explains why the conference thinks that it must be preserved. Alabama's rivalry with LSU isn't necessarily as steeped in tradition as those other two, but it has proven to be one of the SEC West's most important annual games over the past decade while serving as one of LSU's biggest games every season.
Saban bitched. Sankey caved.
Footnote: No mention of State as a "histoircal and cherished opponent of Alabama." In fact, no mention of State at all.

According to who?
“I’ve always been an advocate for playing more [conference] games,” Saban told Sports Illustrated in a story published Friday. “But if you play more games, I think you have to get the three fixed [opponents] right. They’re giving us Tennessee, Auburn and LSU. I don’t know how they come to that [decision].”

We were slated to have Bama as a permanent "rival" but Saban cried so much that they changed it.

Given LSU's history vs. Alabama, looks like Texas A&M is more your speed. You should be thanking Sankey.
I was preparing a comeback until I saw Texas leads the series 8-2-1
