They're going to claim the addition of Mizzou and Tex A&M threw off the rotation so they had to randomly change the schedule off its pattern. Its just by coincidence it benefited the alabama teams im sure.

Dont forget the uneven number of SEC (West) home games Bama got vs every other SEC team last year.

Auburn played at Vanderbilt in 2012 and this does make sense, even tough they were "Due" to play at Florida. The reason is because Florida had to play LSU at home in 2012


UF was taken off because we played them the year before, and they were taking off the second games of series

quote:

Auburn playing at Tennessee in 2013 makes zero sense


They were due to move back on the schedule


Yall have been downright hilarious with this

All of the facts needed to conclude how this was done are detailed in this email, which was sent to some of the SEC Athletic Directors and Head Coaches, along with some of the Media and those who work in the SEC Office. From here, it will be up to some of those in the media to pursue this and ask questions.

I'd rather LSU play at Georgia than at Kentucky. Kentucky owns LSU in Lexington.

I meant SEC West Home games. Usually teams play 3 home and 3 away within the division except last year one team got 4 home and 2 away. I'll let you guess which team that was.

Why don't we ask Alabama Graduate, Mark Womack? One of his main responsibilities is scheduling.

In 2013, playing less games against these 6 teams is advantageous to playing more games against them. With that in mind, here are the results of the "SEC Bridge Schedule".

Number of games against the Top 6 SEC teams

2 - Alabama (LSU, Texas A&M)
2 - Texas A&M (Alabama, LSU)
2 - South Carolina (Florida, Georgia)
3 - Florida (Georgia, LSU, South Carolina)
3 - Georgia (Florida, LSU, South Carolina)
4 - LSU (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M)

Again, any response by the SEC Office to justify the "Bridge Schedule" will not have the facts on their side.
Why didn't you include Auburn in this, since this thread claims there is a conspiracy to give them an advantage?

4 - Auburn (LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M)

Way to chase the straw man argument instead of the actual point. Bama had more SEC west home games than anyone else. Bama has an easier road to the SECCG. Bama has sucky UT as a permanent opponent. Bama has a graduate making the schedules.

I could almost see it being a coincidence except for that last one.

If you are going to try and provide some argument, and then include past precedent as a leg of proof for your stance, and be completely wrong, no one is going to take you seriously. Especially something as simple as how many division games SEC teams played from 92-11.

Mark Womack of The SEC office devised the schedule. example---"Mark Womack, the SEC’s executive associate commissioner who oversees football scheduling, said work would resume Monday in hopes of announcing a schedule this summer."

Mark Womack is a Tuscaloosa native, Tuscaloosa High School graduate and Alabama graduate.

He is a former Alabama athletic Department employee.

LSU plays SEC East teams that went a combined 14-2 in conference play last season.

Alabama, faces teams that combined to go 1-15.

Les said that Auburn played Georgia and Florida since 2000 more than any other West Division team. Les must have gotten that from Brando. 19 times for Auburn vs LSU's 17 times.

Agreed. If we win out this year like we are capable of, then we are the best team in the history of the SEC.

This is easy to do when you dont play the top teams from the east. So that line of thinking is idiotic
