Bama's schedule is pretty bad but..

[Eco]

One team scheduled a preseason top 20 team the other team scheduled a team that isn’t top ten in their conference and someone wants to pretend that both teams did the same thing.

TO be fair, we didn't schedule Louisville or Duke next year. We sign up for the neutral game, and it's the organizers job to get our opponent. Since we have gotten Louisville and Duke in back-to-back years I wouldn't be surprised to see us really just do home/home where we are control having a quality opponent.

Bama schedule sucks...but Clemson and Ohio States also do. Thats my only point.

But Ohio State's doesn't. As of right now, OSU has the #1 strength of record in the entire nation.

Clemson, we're in agreement.

You should probably consider doing the same to Saban or whoever it is that is responsible for Bama's scheduling then.

I really hope it's Saban. That would be hilarious since you could put him over your knee to do it.

Again, it's not us. It's the Chick-FIl-A classic or which neutral site game that picks our opponent.

Yes, we do play a cupcake before Auburn, but that'll never change.

Uh no. My dad beat my ass with a switch or belt.

Yeah, he hit you so hard, it knocked the cock and balls right off of you!

So Bama made absolutely no attempt to play a decent team, that’s your defense?

And then Bama should get no credit for playing FSU and USC then?

Really? I would imagine the hardest SOS thus far HAS to be LSU. They've played Florida, Miami, and Auburn, with UGA this weekend.

Last year Bama scheduled the #3 team they ended up sucking. Where was this from you last year?

That's fair. If you schedule a team that is usually pretty good and they just end up having a down year, that's not on you.

But scheduling teams like Mercer, Coastal Carolina and The Citadel is.

Strength of record, not strength of schedule. Meaning going unbeaten against our schedule thusfar is rated as the best performance of any team.

9 conference games would change it but no body in charge really wants that....saban included

Well last year we play in a neutral site game, and got paired with FSU, year before was USC, and before that Michigan.

This year was Louisville and next year is Duke.

Not making excuses, just stating the facts.

But you didn’t chose to play FSU, someone did it for you. You get no credit for that game and you get no credit for playing USC either.

Reading would help.

Cheers.

I agree. I rather enjoy the idea of every SEC team playing the others, but that'll definitely never happen.

We need to go 9 though.

We got burned so we have already started to only look for H&H now.

 

[trojanfan12]

Was not prepared for that.

No, I think we get credit for PLAYING them, but we don't get credit for SCHEDULING them.

I think having UL and Duke in back-to-back years is why we have signed up for a home/home with Texas and ND in the near future.

Dont get me started Saban is the only one who wants 9 games in SEC.

Other than the new neutral site game with USC, right?

But you didn’t choose to play the number 3 team in the country. You chose to play mid majors and FCS teams.

sure he is.....
