i think the "temporary" scheduling should be investigated. it is a fact that lsu's schedule got tougher and bama's got easier. i have not seen a challenge that the schedule was done by a confirmed bama graduate and fan (i think the ad's voted on it tho). the whole deal stinks and one certainly can argue that bama and georgia went to atlanta due to their schedule. whom beat whom ain't the only thing about a tougher schedule; the emotional price and the injury factors can be huge. look what injuries lsu had against florida; playing kentucky or mizzou probably wouldn't have taken near the toll. yes, bama and georgia did their share to get there but to argue, esp in the SEC, that the schedule is not a factor is bull shite. and that ain't whining.

I laid it all out in another thread.

Had expansion not taken place, each of clear preseason favorites (LSU/USC & Bama/UGA) were scheduled to play each other. LSU/USC obviously happened and knocked USC out of the race despite pounding UGA. UGA/Bama were scheduled to play in both '12 and '13, and will not play at all. The only other series that had the same fate was UF/Ole Miss.

The fact is, deliberate changes were made that resulted in LSU playing a much more difficult slate, and Alabama playing a much easier slate avoiding the top team in the east both years of the bridge schedule. Was it done purposly to benifit Bama? I can't say.
