Did anyone ever list which schools were going to be the best over the next 10 yrs so that we could make the schedules even?

This argument is pretty lame when the SEC office is making "bridge" schedules the year before the next season. Clearly they should have a pretty good idea of who the better teams are going into the next season. And also it's a good bet that Bama, LSU, UGA and Fla will be pretty good over the next 5-10 years. Probably can throw Auburn and USC into that mix as well.

But lets look back at the last 7 seasons to compare. Going back to the 2007 season and counting this year's schedule, LSU has played Fla, UGA, USC a combined 13 times in the regular season. Bama has played those same 3 teams a combined 6 times in the regular season. Pretty laughable.

Not exactly, but I can tell you pretty who everyone will play cross division wise over the next three years, just not the exact order.

Very true. We have been shitty for a long while and have had to listen to incessant bullshite from longhorn, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and even ISU fans. A decade of frustration tends to do that. It's still no excuse. We haven't done shite but to NOT suck.

Sept. 14 is just a another game for Bama, even though y'all want revenge. But it's a HUGE day for A&M football. We NEED to win it all so the other Texas jackasses will shut the frick up forever and quit selling the "same ole 1960s, all-male, military A&M" angle to recruits. (Yes, they are just that shitty)

Funny seeing an A&M fan talk about whining. Little brother.

Really? With 4 new coaches not even having coached a game yet? Bama went from 7 wins to undefeated in a season. I promise, nobody here thought that would happen from 07 to 08.

quote:

LSU has played Fla, UGA, USC a combined 13 times in the regular season


6 out of the last 10 yrs, Fla had 4 or more losses. 5 times, they had 5 losses or more.

In 2010, SC had 5 losses. Before that, 8 yrs straight, they had 5 losses or more every year.

In 09 and 10, Georgia lost 5 and 7 games respectively.

quote:

But lets look back at the last 7 seasons to compare.


Last 7 seasons:

Georgia 4 yrs, had 4 or more losses (including a losing season).
Florida 3 yrs, lost 3 or more games. Bama played them 4 times, winning 3 times.
SC 5 yrs, lost 5 or more games. (includes a .500 season).

meanwhile, Tn has had to face 3 time NC, winner of 12, 14, 10, 12 and 13 games in a row in a cross division matchup. And no crying from them.

USCe wasn't very good from 2007-2009.

Unless you are now bragging/complaining about beating a 6-6 USC team in 2007 and 7-6 USC team in 2008?

Bama will have played Florida 2 times in the regular season over the past 7 seasons (counting this one). You can't count SEC champ games in a scheduling discussion. Geez.

Ok last 4 seasons then (2010-2013) - LSU has played FLA/USC/UGA a combined 6 times. Bama has played them a combined 3 times.

The most egregious breakdown would be last season plus this upcoming season (i.e. "bridge" schedules). LSU plays those 3 Eastern Division teams 4 times. Bama plays them 0 times.

Last 7 season Auburn has played UGA 7 times where LSU has only played them twice in the regular season. Why is LSU dodging UGA?

Yes, it's called a permanent opponent. I'm not sure why you keep lumping them into this category. This is about rotation.

2 of which you would be playing no matter what. So you're complaining about playing USC last year and UGA this year?

Did you complain about playing UT & UK in 2011? Or how about UT & Vandy in 2010? Did you know LSU has only played two rotational teams with winning SEC records from 2005-2011? That would be 2 teams out of 14.
