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.

This is in my humble opinion, overwhelming proof of SEC corruption, I think the two weeks off (1 before bama 1 before TAMU) were the result of the schedule guy realizing how transparent this bias was...The games may not be rigged, but the scheduling is...to get Bama another BCS Championship...this year....I believe the playoff system taken at face value will compel Bama to play a tougher schedule...

You really should take AU out of the title of the thread.
Only one team in the SEC has played a more difficult conference schedule than AU since 1992.
Since 1980 NO SEC TEAM has played as difficult a conference schedule as AU. NONE.
AU has played the most difficult SEC schedule for over 30 years now. No other SEC team measures up to what AU has faced.
AU's 2004 NC team played the 2nd most difficult SEC schedule of any SEC champion since 1992 as well.
You have two different extremes with AU and bama here.

Hey, Mr. conspiracy guy, which of these scenarios makes more sense to the unbiased fan ? Since Bama was due to play Vanderbilt but couldn't, they should play Kentucky which is more in line with Vanderbilt , seeing as how Kentucky is right behind UGA. Or , Bama should play Georgia this year, even though they were supposed to get Vanderbilt , we want Bama to play UGA instead so the SEC offices must be bias. Have you ever considered that the most fair way would be.... 2013 Kentucky 2014 UGA 2015 VANDY Since it was scheduled to be... 2013 VANDY 2014 UGA 2015 Kentucky !!!!!!!! Are you serious man ?
But, but, but its all cyclical is what Bama fans have been saying about the permanent opponents. Teams go up and down. At least thats how they justify LSU being paired with florida and Bama gets Tennessee every year. Now, when its convenient for Bama, we are allowed to look at the current state of programs when making the schedules? (Is that what you mean by "more in line with" or do you mean the order of alternating opponents?)
Im no expert, but the way it looks is Bama was due to play Georgia and the schedule makers tweaked it to play UK instead, and swapped Georgia onto LSU's schedule instead of UK. And it looks even worse knowing the schedule makers (and the SEC)have interests in Bama succeeding.

Arkansas played Tennessee in 2011, why would they be due to play them again?
It's the road game AT Tennessee I believe they were due.

This is the thing everyone needs to focus on. It's clear, it's obvious, and it was certainly done intentionally by the "Bridge Schedule Creator" to give Bama an advantage. Bama fans should just own it and be proud/thankful they have the power.

Except they both got the beneficial "swap" in the 2013 Bridge Schedule. That is no coincidence.

This is an additional scheduling inconsistancy. Not even related to the UF/UT permanent opponents. i think a lot of LSU fans are overlooking this and just saying, well we've always played florida so no big deal on the schedule, lets just play ball. They're not seeing the pattern of home-cooked scheduling like those who understand how the rotations are supposed to work.

In my opinion, THIS is what needs to be the focus.

Until the people behind the cameras start reporting this issue nothing will change. Until that happens we need to keep up the crying. it is straight bullshite.

This is coming from an outside point of view. This is actually the first time I have seen the argument for this. I have heard of it but never seen any evidence.
After reading the OP several times it isn't what it seems. Both Miss teams don't follow the same trend as the rest. So if looking at a trend you kind of have to throw them out. So then you are left with Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU
The only thing different in the trend is the addition of Mizzo which Alabama some how got the lucky straw on that one to "have to" play them last year. But besides that AU, AL, AR, & LSU are all playing an away game against there 2008 home opponent. And last year played a home game against whoever they had to travel to in 2008.
The addition of Miss & A&M screwed everything up but the facts show the only difference is last years Mizzo game against AL but like people have said someone had to play them.

frick the schedule, Just kick all their ASSES! Every one knows that the Comm.sucks Satan's ball year round but winning is not going to help. Shut up & play!!! 
Posted on 7/24/13 at 8:52 am to LA444
Any explanation for why Bama gets 4 SECW home games and everybody else gets 3 last year? (except Tex A&M getting only 2?) Are we supposed to believe that is just another coincidence that benefits the schedule maker's alma mater?

This should and will be corrected before the playoff. Truth hurts. The SEC office should be gutted and replaced with unbiased professionals.

It's up to LSU Athletic Department to file the complaint.
Some great points have been made but our AD has to run with this ball and make it an issue.
