Its not just one year that Bama has had a cake walk schedule. Bama's schedule last year was pretty soft as well.

Last year, Bama played UT, UF, and Vandy
LSU played UT, UF, and UK

Credit for scheduling 2 tough OOC opponents, but Bama had no easier of a conference schedule than LSU

You only had to get up for two games all year. After one tough one (LSU) you lost to the Aggies


IIRC, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Arky played LSU to the wire. So, are there other good teams on Bama's schedule or is LSU just not that good of a team?

Does no one remember back before the season started? That there was no clear cut "leader" in the East?

Florida coming off a disappointing 7-6 season.
Georgia kicking off their RB, leaving them with a skeleton unit of True Freshmen.
South Carolina replacing some defensive talent and questions if Lattimore would come back healthy from his knee injury.
Tennessee with it's fully healthy group of WR's and an Elite QB.
I even saw some mentions of Missouri being a dark horse candidate, and James Franklin mentioned as a top 5 SEC QB before a single down. Missouri came into the league after winning 48 games in the previous 5 years.

This talk of easy schedule (and conspiracy!) comes off as whining while using hindsight as a club.

We should have known that those true freshmen RB's of UGA would be outstanding. That Florida's defense would get it together. That Tennessee's defense was even worse than anyone imagined. That Missouri was a complete trainwreck.

That Arkansas and Auburn would implode.

That this Freshman QB out in Texas was a mixture of Cam Newton and Doug Flutie.



Exactly. Florida sucked last year, but somehow the SEC office was supposed to know that they'd be great this year? Florida and UGA overachieved based on expectations and Tennessee and Mizzou underachieved. And let's not forget that Tennessee stil took 2 or the big 3 from the East down to wire.
