Enough with the bitching. Schedules even out over time and the SEC is not out to stymie LSU. People are forgetting that UT beat Alabama straight for a decade before the recent reversal and Bama is just coming off of their serial rotations with UGA, USC, and UF in recent years.
Also, unlike the 1990's LSU's annual rival, Florida hasn't been some consistent juggernaut. Over the last 10 seasons (2002-2012) they had seasons of 5 or more loses five times. They do not present some insurmountable obstacle to LSU, and Alabama also played them half a dozen times since 2005 when they did become better under Urban Meyer.
The scheduling issues also clearly play a much bigger role in the East then in the West. Who plays LSU and Alabama had been a much bigger determinate of how things play out rather then anything on the West.

There are two issues, permanent opponents and the bridge schedule. Regarding to bridge schedule, made with clear knowledge of expectations gave Bama rent a wins and LSU top ten teams both years. It was also made by an Alabama grad/fan. Is that incorrect?

Prior to SEC expansion, that is correct. However, the 2012 & 2013 schedules are supposed to be "bridges" to perminate rotation to 2014 on. In both years, LSU has got the shaft. The SEC could have scheduled UGA vs Bama in 2013 to make things fair, but they didn't.

For the Ala. guy, can't let you slide with this man.Starting with the new rotation in 02,you had Ga.,Ken.,USC,Fla. and Vandy. Then in 07 it starts again, same rotation. When the next rotation starts in 012,Georgia is replaced by Missouri.So,no big deal,right.Georgia will be the next year.Well, the next year is Kentucky,and the next will be USC,then Fla.,then Vandy, then Georgia! Georgia was eliminated for 1 full rotation.How convenient that the one team in the east with a regular season winning record against Alabama since 2000,3-1,gets totally left out of a rotation.Do your homework before you come on here.

Let's put the SEC office in New Orleans and let LSU play KY this year while Bama plays UGA, and for shits lets make Bama play Florida every single year bc LSU decided it has a sacred tradition with Tenn that no one else on earth cares about. And let's put an LSU grad in charge of making the schedule.
No, no way would Bama fans bitch.
Add in the asinine rematch in 2011 and you should get an idea why we will keep bitching about the favoritism Bama gets.
