Three of the five teams you mentioned don't even exist, so how does he schedule them? You really need to lay off the wacky weed.
No wonder Alabama is so good. They are playing imaginary teams.

No, he’s just not stupid enough to do it if it’s not a requirement for everyone. Nobody is making Auburn play Samford either, maybe Malzhan should step up and call for the rest of the SEC to join them.
I notice they have not given Jax State a return game.

I know, right? And they still gave us a better game than the last couple of Pac-12 teams we played. Better than the last Big 10 team we played, too.

We didn’t want to be there. Also they were checking their draft status while trying to recover from a tough conference schedule.

Two things can be true at the same time ... he is, by definition, being a hypocrite here ... we've been scheduling 10 P5 teams for years, and they could have easily done it. And, you are right, it's not a requirement to do so, so he is smart not to do that so long as the fans are cool with it.

At first glance i thought you said Southern California type teams.

I did too. Though, to be fair, in 2016, Bama beat USC 52-6. Damien Harris averaged 15.3 yards per carry and USC had 190 total yards. That year, Western Kentucky and Chattanooga both played Bama a lot closer, and Kent State was basically a wash with USC statistically and score wise. USC, Western Kentucky. Six to one, half a dozen to another.

Dude...if this becomes a "thing" in the SEC then they aren't going to get as many teams into bowls. Half that conference depends on these 3 pussy games to get bowl eligible!

And again, by the end of the season USC won the Rose Bowl over the BG10 winner and finished ranked higher than every SEC team not named Alabama.

Same as the majority of the SEC has done since. Sucked.

Seriously? Auburn nearly became the first two-loss team to make the playoffs in 2017 (before losing to Georgia in the SEC championship game). Georgia did make the playoffs that year & finished as national runner-up to Alabama. Auburn became the only team to beat both finalists in the same season.

Georgia almost made it back to the playoffs in 2018, but a regular season loss to LSU & an SEC title game loss to Alabama kept them out. That LSU team that ambushed Georgia, but lost to Florida & Texas A&M (in a memorable shootout), went on to end Central Florida's 25-game winning streak; and Florida went on to crush a 10-win Michigan team in a bowl game.

Auburn, which was a non-factor in the SEC race, still beat Pac-12 champion Washington on a neutral field, and destroyed the Purdue team that handed Ohio St. its only loss of the season.

You call that losing?

We should schedule at least 2 big 12 teams a year to soften our schedules.

Auburn is 1-2 against the Big XII for the last decade. :happy:
1-1

I’ll give you the Sugar Bowl where our QB broke his arm on the first drive and the only RB we had healthy was at 80%.

Good job beating that MASH team.
