LSU fans want a fair schedule. That is all. Is wanting to get rid of the permanent opponents misguided? Maybe so and hopefully there's a better solution out there, but it doesn't change the fact that this shite needs to be fixed. And really, it's not that much to ask for. If Bama were getting fricked, you'd be shouting from the rooftops too.
Look, I'm all for more transparency in the schedule making process. The SEC office needs to explain how teams are going to rotate on and off of the schedule. But leave the rivalries (at least the Bama/UT & UGA/barn) out of the discussion.

Hell, even your coach was being a hypocrite and saying it didn't matter that ya'll didn't win the division
It didn't. We were the best team in the country, we shouldn't have to win a division to prove it, and we shouldn't be punished for slipping up once. The best two teams should always play for the national title.

I remember a whole lot of you guys crying about playing us again in 2011
Nope. We all knew we'd win, it was more than painfully obvious to anyone that if we actually knew JJ was going to be playing as much as he did we would have won the first game, and LSU should have been given a rematch after that. I know some LSU fans like to act like there is no way they would have gotten a rematch, but the HB7 hype and a close game against Bama would have given you a rematch over those scrubs at Okie State.

That ONE year bama played the cocks and the gators, how did that season turn out for the tide????
You mean the year where we only returned ONE defensive starter???
Also the year that almost every team we played had a bye week before us???
We stomped Florida that year by the way, and lost by one point to one of the greatest players ever.

You realize Jefferson was the reason why we didn't lose the first game of the century, right?

That's basically what I'm saying. If we knew that he was going to see that much PT (though it's really Barron and Lester's fault for picking off Lee
) and actually gameplanned for it more, we would have stopped it. For reference, see the national title game. We knew it was coming, we shut it down.Posted on 5/7/13 at 11:09 pm to AllBamaDoesIsWin
bama's easter division opponents
'09
UT (#3 east), KY (#4 east) and USC (#5 east)
LSU's eastern division opponents
'09
UF (#1 east), UGA (#2 east) and Vandy (#6 east)
Explain to us how that bama schecule is so difficult?
What happened to bama the ONE year they caught the best talent from the east in a season?
Isn't that the year they finished FOURTH in the west?

Oh. Y'all really didn't do shite on offense either,

The hypocrisy is plain to see. It's all relative to whose ox is being gored.
Saban is already whining about teams with weaker schedules than in the SEC.
Nobody denies that Bama has enjoyed a weaker permanent opponent in Tennessee compared to LSU's permanent opponent in Florida, but the SEC has no problem with that inequity and refuses to fix it.
So, how should the playoff committee look at the SEC's complaints about unequal schedules when it doesn't see the need to fix the same type of inequity in its own conference rules?
I got a feeling, the SEC is about to get a strong dose of what LSU has been swallowing for a long time, and they aren't going to like it when the other conferences tell the SEC to stop with all the hypocritical whining.

Would it have mattered if JJ wasn't doing anything? 6 points would have won.

You mean when we lost ONE game to a team in the East, and even that fanbase will tell you that if that game is played 9 more times they don't win another one? That game?
The other two losses came to a solid LSU squad in a close game in Tiger Stadium, and a loss to Cam Newton, playing for a Western Division Team.
Also happens that we only returned ONE defensive starter that year from the previous team.

Why are Bama's excuses revolved around needing more than one chance to beat the team?

To read bama fans in the offseason, bama's new starters are actually better and more athletic than the guy they are replacing. The tide doesn't replace they reload. New starters are never a factor.
bama got their bye week the week they wanted it right? Saturday before LSU.
bama palyed georgia st the week before auburn. Were they even D1? That games was moved up to thursday giving bama extra couple of days to prepare for iron bowl. How much time you think saban spent gameplanning for auburn the week of georgia st?
Great you beat the gators and blew a 20 something point lead to auburn. WOW.
It doesn't change the fact that the ONE time saban plays the TOP TWO teams from the east, bama finishes FOURTH in the west.
See how that works when you actually have to face a couple of top tier SEC teams from the east.

It's not the fact that bama only lost one game against the top two from the east. It's the fact they actually had to play TWO QUALITY opponents.
The more games against top quality teams that have enough talent to beat you means eventually someone will.
What takes more out of a team over the long haul of a SEC season?
Having to play USC, UF, LSU and auburn or playing UK, Vandy, LSU and auburn?
Which schedule is likely to give you multiple losses?
