I see where you're going and we play Florida every year. If we win that game, that makes us better. Our resume' I should say. Florida is usually a ranked team.
Bama on the other hand has to play TN every year who is still trying to find an identity. That's win for Bama.
Bama seldom has to play legitimate threats, being it OOC or conference foes during the season. I understand that the schedules are made years in advance but still, that is telling to not schedule more than one threat to Bama, aside from us.
I do think they play UGA in the regular season next year but Fromm will be gone then, TN will still be looking for a coach and identity.
We benefited greatly from playing UGA last season. Why Bama avoids this is telling, to me.
It's not right, but it's how the media sells it.

Bama typically plays a very good OOC team every year. Go back and look at their schedules. And it’s all cyclical. Tennessee was an elite SEC team 15-20 years ago so back you could say then Bama got screwed.
And the permanent cross division concept was to keep rivalry games intact.

Also, with a “rolling schedule” where LSU plays every team in the league every 2 years you see you never play the same team on the same date each year. Some years the Bama game might be early in the season and other years it might be late in the season. This way every team would play the identical rolling schedule and teams like Alabama can’t plan their open date before the LSU game every year. LSU has this new Ferrari offense and Nick Saban will have 2 weeks to plan for it. So far, that arrangement hasn’t worked in LSU’s favor. I like the odds better if Joe Burrow can go at Bama with only a week to prepare.
