re: Saban beefs up non-conference schedule, Alabama to play New Mexico State in 2021

Could Saban make it anymore obvious that all he cares about is being the coach with the most national championships?

Did you miss the story where they scheduled Miami usc and a series with Texas?


Dude everyone fricking plays cupcake games it’s not like it’s only bama. Get over it

These games suck, but at long as we start playing home and homes like we have done I can live with them.

2019 - Duke (Atlanta)
2020 - Southern Cal (Dallas)
2021 - Miami (Atlanta)
2022 - @ Texas
2023 - vs Texas
2028 - @ Notre Dame
2029 - vs Notre Dame

Lol f*cking Bama and their weak arse out of conference opponents.

This is nothing new in the SEC, to include LSU. For the most part, SEC schools try to schedule one Power 5 team and then three OOC teams that usually have no shot at winning; in most cases it's an FCS school and two Group of 5 schools. Case in point this year:

Non-Power 5 OOC opponents
=========================
Alabama: Arkansas State, Louisiana, The Citadel
Auburn: Alabama State, Southern Miss, Liberty
LSU: SE Louisiana, LA Tech, Rice
UGA: Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, UMass
Florida: Charleston Southern, Colorado State, Idaho

Not much difference in any of those...it's not like most other SEC schools are doing anything different. Granted, the SEC teams that have an OOC rival, i.e., UGA, SCe, and UF, every other year or so will schedule a Power 5 team the first game or two of the season in addition to their rival...

The SEC needs to go to nine conference games. Ohio State's regular season this year consists of 11 Power 5 teams and 1 Group of 5...most of the PAC-12, B1G, and Big 12 teams are playing at least 10 Power 5 games...and you can believe their coaches and commissioners will keep harping to the press and the committee 'bout the scheduling disparity despite the SEC's and ACC's recent dominance in the play-offs...

I like neutral site games / atmosphere. We need to do better about spacing in a home in home, but I'd be disappointed if we quit doing the kick off game thing

2 every 4 years, interspersed with a home and home would be my choice.

I'm sure those living in bham would rather not have to travel, but since I have to travel anyway, its nice going to a city with ample, nice hotels and an airport in the same city as the game, etc.

Going back and visiting Tuscaloosa for high profile games is challenging and not as much fun as for the smaller SEC games.

I’m sick and tired of people acting like SEC teams don’t play anybody. It’s ridiculous. LSU Alabama Auburn a&m and Arkansas always schedules big name teams. It’s not our fault that these teams end up sucking arse after we all beat them.
