Get back to me when LSU has 2 straight seasons of opponents from the East Division who aren't bowl eligible.
We can't all play Tennessee and Kentucky every year.
Your anger needs to be directed towards Mizzou and aTm since it is obvious this bridge format is to give them a chance to play all the opposing division teams ASAP.

Before I spend too much energy beating the hell out of this corpse of a horse, I think I'll just summarize:
Anyone who says that Alabama got the benefit of an easier SEC schedule the last two years is absolutely correct. That is what happened.
Anyone who claims that Alabama "only" won because of the easier path is making silly assumptions and emotional arguments.
Alabama won. Our schedule was not as hard as LSU's. These two premises do not lead to a solid conclusion, other than that the situation has not been equally balanced.

I doubt it was in the SEC. Tennessee, Kentucky, and mediocre 7-6 Florida from the East.

I'm always good with directing anger at Mizzou and ATM, especially Mizzou. They suck at life.

WRONG!!!! LSU 2011 schedule>any Auburn schedule ever
But of course. You had to play the great 2011 Alabama team TWICE. Nobody should ever have to face something so horrific.

This is now my go-to response to repetitive whining.

Alabama won. Our schedule was not as hard as LSU's. These two premises do not lead to a solid conclusion, other than that the situation has not been equally balanced.
Bama's regular season winning % vs SEC top tens was the same as LSU's. .500. UFs was > than UGA's .750>.500. By and large the 6 top ten teams were equal. Outside of UGA none of them got blown out vs each other they were all tough hard fought games. The two who were in the SEC championship game just played less games.
Scheduling determined the SEC championship game this past year by the simple fact that UGA and Bama were supposed to play each other in the regular season.
As for the Bama fans bitching about 2010, why is it that everytime scheduling comes up you whine about 2010? Saban moaned and complained and got a rule in place about that schedule. How is that any different?
