Folks, we have missed the target on the message regarding the schedule difference between LSU & Bama. Our focus on Bama playing Tennessee allows everyone to forget that they don't play Georgia, which is the real problem.

Based on the 07-09 UGA schedules, they were supposed to rotate onto the Bama and LSU schedules in 12 & 13 before expansion. That meant, UGA was supposed to play @Bama in 12, @LSU and home for Bama in 13 and host LSU in 14.

With the additions of aTm & Mizzou, it made certain sense to highlight the new conferences by giving them premier home games from the opposite division, meaning that Bama goes to Mizzou and UF goes to aTm in 12. OK. Makes some sense. What doesn't make sense is that in the 13 season, Bama completely avoids the UGA team they would have normally rotated to the year before. Bama should be hosting UGA and we should be playing the return game @Kentucky.

As it stands, we will have played UGA at least 3 times in the regular season since Bama did. (Yes, Bama did play them in the SECCG, but that isn't the same, and OBTW, SO DID LSU!)

Next year's schedule looks to be a reset back to 2011, with Bama playing Florida and LSU playing KY, but I really have to ask the question:

When will Bama play UGA in the regular season again.

Failing to focus on the Bama/UGA problem has cost us the ability to set the narrative on the schedule.

We're not really getting screwed by playing Florida vs Bama playing Tenn historically. Yeah, over the divisional years, Florida has been better on average, but it's not that big a difference.

But us playing @UGA when Bama gets to dodge them on a rotation. Completely unjustified.

Oh well, got to beat them anyway.

Bring it.

A tough schedule is the only way we've won two national championships it the last decade. 4 teams in top 10 is awesome, IMO. Who gives a shite if Bama doesn't play UGA? I love the tough schedule. Heading to Athens for the first time and can't wait.

Bama will have to play UGA or Florida in the championship game to get to BCS championship game. If we have to play them twice then so what.

Tired of whining, ready for football.

I said the same thing in the other thread 20 min before you. Except not fans fault.

The question is why hasn't the media investigated the one question:

Why was UGA rotated off Bama and onto LSU for one yr only?
Combine that with last yr also being a bridge schedule and Bama getting Missouri and LSU getting USCe. Knowing LSU is Bama's biggest obstacle, two individually made schedules immediately after the BCS rematch directly benefit Bama and directly hurt LSU.

What is the justification from the SEC office?
No one asks this. They just say LSU gets unfair schedule, Bama gets lucky w schedule
