No what's stupid is not recognizing that teams schedule teams based on their strength at the time the schedule is made. Bama nor LSU control where they go after our game. Outside of 2011 yalls OOC schedule is not really any more impressive than ours.

This Bama/UT Aub/UGA thing reminds me of some other situations where some wanted special privileges. The PAC and Big 10 about the Rose Bowl, Notre Dame about everything, Texas because they feel they are Texas, so that entitles them, etc, etc. You are no different than them. frick your entitlement!

I would expect no less from a gump.

Um. No. It's stupid.
1) You don't schedule your conference. So, that's 8 games that you don't control.
2) You schedule your OOC way in advance. Not in the preseason.
3) preseason polls are more pointless than lesbian sex (meaning there isn't a point involved). They serve no purpose other than to sell magazines and push TV ratings.

Frick you're pansy tail for not wanting to play an average Florida team not beat them, but then again you couldn't beat Bama or Clemson either. How do you whine about playing an sec school that got run out of the stadium by Louisville. The loss isn't so bad as the manner in which it happened.

What the hell are you talking about?
Since 2000, Bama has had:
a home-and-home with a top 25 UCLA team
a home-and-home with a top 5 Oklahoma team
a home-and-home with a top 25 Penn State team
Neutral site games with Michigan, Clemson, VTech, and Florida State
a 07-08 home and home with UGA
a 10-11 home and home with UF
But Bama's 2013 schedule turns out to be [relatively] easy, but still difficult considering they're in the best division of the best conference in football.
AND EVERYONE LOSES THEIR GODDAMN MINDS
Good God yall are some faggy little bitches

I give credit where it's due.
Bama schedules 1 good OOC opponent a year.
But they like to do that in a neutral site.
LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia all have the balls to schedule 2 OOC AQ opponents. And they all have the balls to go on the road legitimately out of conference. Not twice in a dozen years.
Bama's OOC schedule is on par with tOSU.
middle of the pack. and it could be symptomatic of a team that's afraid to travel (for a number of reasons).

No you fricking moron, you keep mentioning all the ranked OOC teams BAMA plays all the time. Ranked at some point in the season or when you played them doesn't mean a damn thing if they aren't ranked at the end of the season. An overrated team, ranked when you played them, but ends up sucking is not a ranked team. ...and sometimes the schedules are for these OOC games are made well in advance. The team could suck when you schedule them and be good when you play them or good when you schedule but suck when you play them.
What Next...are you going to tell us how many teams Bama played that received one or more vote, so they were almost ranked. fricking idiot!

LSU also schedules some crap for OOC though.

And then it would only be true because LSU had to play Florida instead of UT. So we're back to square one and things are still uneven.

Absolute speculation. UT had an incredible offense that could've matched and likely exceeded points put up by A&M, especially in terms of putting points up fast. A game last year would've likely turned into a offensive battle and UT got progressively worse as the season wore on. Florida, OTOH, had an actual defense to shut him down.
By the time UT lost the SC game, the season was over. Both the coach and players had given up. Contrast that with how we played UGA and even SC.

I think you're confused. It seems like you're arguing end of season SOS. It's as if you're trying to argue Bama's BCS merit.
We're arguing about teams scheduling for the future. Don't you get how it makes no sense, how it's actually impossible, to factor that season's postseason rankings into that?

Everybody has at least 2 OOC crap games a season.
If you're Bama... it's always 3 OOC crap games.
LSU played UNC and West Virginia in the regular season in 2011.
When's the last time Bama had 2 OOC AQ teams? Have they done it in the BCS era? I really don't know.

You've got better odds if you schedule 2 of them.
And you look like you're not afraid if that 1 game isn't always at a neutral site.

Yeah, you can't just assume A&M would've beaten UT.
Let's look at 09. Bama went undefeated and had one of the highest margins of victory in CFB history.
They played the previous FOUR national champions that season. They blew out the undefeated defending champs by 19 points. They won the BCSNC by 16 points. Their closest game against a ranked team was LSU, which they won by 9 points.
The Bama-UT game that year? 12-10. Bama only won because by some crazy miracle they blocked TWO game-winning field goals.

It looks like it has happened once since 1990, when they played Penn State and Duke in 2010. BTW, in the 90's, they only scheduled a team from a major conference 3 times.
