If Bama has an easier road to Atlanta in a given year then so be it. It won't always be that way.


Maybe not every single year, but most of the time it will. Florida is the strongest program in the East, and over time, it will be the most successful. Whoever in the West plays them every year will have a tougher time than the other West teams. And "so be it" is not the appropriate response to the observation that Alabama is being given an advantage.

That said, I still hope we keep playing Florida every year, IF the SEC is going to keep perennial inter-divisional rivalries. My first choice would be to do away with them altogether, for everyone.

Alabama was not being given an advantage when they were given Tennessee as their permanent in 1992. UT was, and can be again, a very strong program. You can't just look at the last two seasons and say UT sucks so Bama has an advantage.

And I say "so be it" because life, and sports, isn't always fair. If we have a harder schedule than Bama then we just have to deal with it and beat whoever is on that schedule including Bama, which is exactly what we did last season. And then Bama got a second chance at us, proving my point that things aren't always fair.
