about the blatant bias in scheduling to help Alabama win the title again. Once again they play no hard teams from the east and now they get 2 bye weeks for their only 2 tough games (A&M,LSU)all year. I mean I have finally come aroud The conspiracy people was right all along. This is downright ridiculous at this point

this is painted as LSU fans whining. and, to an extent, that is true. but it IS also true that bama got to skate both years of the "temporary" schedule. yes, ut is down but in BOTH years LSU pulled top contenders from the east and bama pulled NONE. that's 4 for LSU, zero for the a-hole at bama. yes, i am whining. conspiracy? i'm not sure. no proof but i'm still pissed, even if it's luck of the draw. i also hate, HATE, the permanent rival bull shite. the SEC is too big for that now. these need to be junked in favor of as true a round robin as can be produced. that is the ONLY fair way to do it.

I'd like to hear some thoughts.

I mean, call it sour grapes all you want.
The schedule has been crazy easy and they've only been called for offensive holding like...what? twice in two years.

Those aren't opinions. They're facts.

As much as the ESPN loves idol gossip, it seems like they would be all over this story

Scheduling sucks I agree. However, the bottom line is Alabama wins football games no matter the schedule. LSU had them right where they wanted them in 2012. That's not a blatant scheduling bias but it was a blatant coaching collapse by LSU on the play calling. Hopefully a new OC will change all that even w the most immobile QB in Div. 1 football heading into 2013 season. Maybe we'll use the wildcat and get some of our more versatile QB's on the field to help secure TD's instead of FG's. Alabama is rolling right now w players, coaches, and (unfortunately) biased scheduling. Agreed!

Scheduling favors everyone but LSU and USC 12 vs 2 we lose.

Look at the bright side... if LSU wins out with a schedule like theirs, they will no doubt be in the NC picture. Hell... with one loss they may be there!

That is how Sabans are created. Alabama played 2 real game in the West in 2012. If LSU went for the first down or if LSU lost to TAM either LSU or A&M would have most likely been the NC; that is how important playing real opponents is. unless we have a 16 teams playoff format scheduling is huge in getting to the NC game. Nobody complains because LSU has been the real consistent challenger in the west; maybe A&M starts complaining now too.
