it doesnt even matter how good or how shitty a particular team is in a given year
it's the fact that the entire league has to adhere to this ridiculous scheduling all because alabama wants to play tennessee every year in their annual hate-fest, half assed rivalry that no one even gives a frick about, besides them. it's at least the 2nd most heated rivalry for both schools
it's bullshite. it's bullshite that the league is willing to use stupid scheduling to accommodate alabama

Martin said he has an ally for eliminating permanent opponents in South Carolina President Harris Pastides. But it is a small band of resistance.
Alleva said 11 of the 14 SEC schools are in favor of retaining permanent opponents — including Florida, the Tigers’ permanent SEC East opponent. LSU has maintained in the past that Florida also wanted to eliminate their annual game.

Agreed. It is bullshite. The only way to solve this in a "fair" way is to put the teams that need to play those permanent rivalry games in their own division.
It has always bothered me that in no other part of sports does the schedule differ SO MUCH for, not only teams in the conference, but teams in the same division.
Let's use common sense about this. Why is Georgia in the SEC Championship game last year and this year? Why would you favor Alabama over LSU next year to win the west? The answer MAY be that they are the better team, but common sense tells you that the reason is the fricking schedule! Where else do you do this in sports? And that schedule is dictated by the conference!
