4th and 1

Dodged a bullet

where they dominated their rivals on and off the field (recruiting, revenue, exposure, etc.) and enjoyed an easy path to the playoffs every year. That's all gone now and their move to the SEC has not worked to their advantage. And they're having a down year at a time when Texas and A&M are gaining all the momentum. If they don't turn things around soon, they could very well end up going the way of Nebraska.

Now that's a stat :lol:

I, for one, welcome our new nerdy overlords.

:godores:

from the fact that Vanderbilt has a winning record against Texas (8-3-1). If the Horns thought they could just ref their way to a title like the old times, they've got another thing coming.

SWC rules!

Because frick the gentlemen's agreement, that's why.:devil:

But all jokes aside, if we don't invite them, the B1G will.

Nick Saban Not Happy With SEC's Proposed Alabama Schedule

SEC officials are currently looking to decide whether to move to a nine-game conference football schedule or stay at eight games once Texas and Oklahoma join the league, and in theory Nick Saban is in favor of making it nine.

That new schedule would be different from the divisional slate, where teams play six or seven set teams each season. Instead, each school would be assigned three permanent annual rivals.

But the Alabama head football coach isn't happy with the three teams he's hearing he'll have to play every year: all rumors indicate those rivals will be Tennessee, Auburn, and LSU.

Nick Saban speaks to his support of future SEC scheduling model

Saban added that the new scheduling format is another positive now that Oklahoma and Texas are involved.

“The way we’re going to do our 7-team rotation, 1-team fixed. You’re going to play everybody every 4 years,” Saban said. “So almost every guy at your school is going to get to play every team in the conference, which I think is great as well.”

Little Nicky is scared of playing LSU & Tennessee every year.:casty:

The loss to Miami is not looking so bad after all.

Never would've thought we'd be in this position after the Miami debacle.
