Florida has been the better program than Tennessee for the last two decades, by far, and all indications are that it will be the next two decades. LSU is at a competitive disadvantage before the season starts.
How is that not using logic and facts?
Let's break this down in the simplest form and see if you can come around.
LSU is at a competitive disadvantage against whom?
Be specific.

Then it comes across as a debate with merit
You tell me which team has the easier path to Atlanta:
Team A
all of the west teams plus
unranked UT
unranked Mizzou
Team B
all of the west teams plus
#10 UF
#3 USCe
and then the following year:
Team A
all of the west teams plus
UT (will almost certainly not be ranked)
UK (will almost certainly not be ranked)
Team B
all of the west teams plus
UF (will be highly ranked)
UGA (will be highly ranked)
Can you honestly say that those 2 paths are of the same difficulty?

Where the frick do you think that 9th conference game is coming from?
Still keeping the permanent opponents.
I'm sure Slive did some selling on his "wait-and-see" approach to the committee's weighing of strength of schedules. That's probably a good idea.
Doesn't address the permanent rivalries, however.

Why do you care so much as to make an entire thread about it? Why do you care so much as to what LSU fans have to say?
Obsessed LOL

That's right. Put us in our place.
Evidently it is a true statement, or we wouldn't be hearing LSU fans say it is a forced rivalry.
Rivalries are games that matter to the teams & fanbases of the teams involved, not some whiney arse fanbase of a team that has no clue what a true rivalry is. Just because a game has a lot at stake from a conference and/or national significance (like Bama/LSU), doesn't make it a rivalry. The Army & Navy game means squat in regards to a conference or national championship, yet it is one of the biggest rivalries around because it means a lot to the service men around the world.
The game means a lot for the fanbases of Bama & UT. One of the biggest travesties in college football was when the Big 12 killed the OU/Neb rivalry. It's also a dang shame that Texas has decided to be petty and turn their backs on the tu/aTm game.
So like I said before, don't try and take our rivalry from us or

2003 has nothing to do with cherry picked bridge schedules

The thread I made was about Slive saying the 6-1-1 would be in effect for the next 2 yrs.

Lsu fans filtered in and made the discussion about their inability to beat teams on their schedule.

There seems to be some of that going on in this thread. Just not what you think.

Not if Lsu wins against West competition, like they should. A loss to Fla wouldn't matter then, would it?
come on man
let's say there's a three way tie atop the SEC West. LSU, Bama, A&M all finish 5-1 within the division with one loss by each of the three to each other.
Chances are much better LSU dropped a game to Florida or UGA than either Bama or A&M dropped a game to the teams they play from the East this year. That's a competitive disadvantage.
Unless LSU wins every single game against their West opponents they won't win the division. All Bama or A&M likely have to do to win the West is win the heads up game between teh two... that's a competitive advantage.

Then your coach should have stood up, voiced the issues his fanbase has with the bridge scheduling, and frickin voted for a change. Take it up with Leslie. He followed along with your so-called cherry pickin.
[Miles also said SEC coaches (nonbindingly) voted "unanimously, 13-1" in favor of retaining 8-game schedule.]
The old poop thinks a 13-1 vote is unanimous?

Bama-UT doesn't come close to the rivalries you mentioned. It doesn't even register on the radar when discussing rivalries on a national scale. Even AU-UGA has more significance because at least it has historical significance.
I'm not sure it's even Top 5 in terms of SEC rivalries.

What is the point of your thread? Its a pointless, bullshite schedule thread, of which there are 10 others on the board.
