Alabama has a weak schedule, IIRC. Let me clarify, the weakest in the SEC.


i agree, having to play auburn is really killing our SOS. maybe we can replace you with georgia state down the road.

It's literally impossible for alabama to be good without some help from someone else. I mean for fricks sake, we only have the most national championships of any other school in D1, both claimed and recognized. We actually got bailed out in every single one of those years by someone. Look it up.

Because if LSU isnt winning every game they have to blame someone else.

Come on man! All I want you to do is admit. Say it with me.

"The University of Alabama gets preferential treatment in regards to scheduling and there is a clear bias in officiating in their favor."

Just admit. It's okay. I'm not even mad. It's the least you can do. I did give you a sweet sig quote after all.

Well they are all universe lewis. If anyone beats them, for any reason, it must be a fluke. When you have the Supreme Chancellor of the Intergalactic Republic as your head coach and a team of Justice Leaguers as freshmen every year there should never be a VALID reason to lose amirite?

Its a good thing that LSU's players are not like their fanbase. The players dont sit around and cry about a loss and complain that it was unfair and all that bullshite.

Interesting, maybe someone can post that graphic again breaking down the resumes of Oklahoma State and Alabama prior to the BCSCG

Yeah, nothing you posted indicates madness, nothing.

You aren't serious are you?

but complaining about playing the teams you were due to play anyway is weak


Nobody is complaining about our schedule, we're complaining about yours and Aggies' to a lesser extent but I expect them to falter anyway.

Quote from my post on page 2:
quote:

This can only be properly understood if we recall Saban's mindset regarding strength of conference. He once said some conference champions wouldn't finish 4th in ours (can't find the link, sorry). Basically, he would have no problem with 3 or 4 SEC teams in the new playoff.


I don't think he will be heeded by the selection committee but I believe the above is his
view.

I don't believe the SEC office had it out for LSU but I don't think enough attention was paid to ensuring competitive balance in scheduling for these bridge years and now some teams, not just Alabama, have more room for error than otherwise. We'll see how the new rotation looks.

For the 1,000th time, it's not about our schedule, it's about yours.

Reading comprehension around here is really poor.

here is the deal though, the 2 easiest teams we have faced the last 2 years have been auburn and tennessee, who are permanent opponents. So you might can cry about our rotational teams, but you cant say shite about them, especially when one of those teams are on your schedule every year as well.
