But it's easier to beat "any team" when you have cupcakes in between. Having an easier schedule helps your team rest players, not have to get "up" for as many games, and possibly less total injuries. It's just easier not having to be at the top of your game every week.

Does LSU control its bye week schedule? Does Alabama and the powers that be control the scheduling format? See, it's not the same.

Saban SPECIFICALLY did not want the bye before lsu this year. He thinks its messes up their rhythm and chemistry and that is probably true for a saban coached team. But he ASKED for it

All the people bitching about schedule are same ones who would botch if LSU had Vandy/Kentucky and then played ULL instead of Washington.....
At start of year people on this very board did not think much of A&M and Florida that both were "rebuilding" and LSU would cake walk them. At same time Michigan was supposed to be better than they are. Teams can't dictate how another team will do. No one expected A&M to be this good this early but if Tennessee would have performed like they were supposed to this would be a moot point. The fact they suck again makes the Alabama schedule weaker

1. As someone else said, Saban wanted it.
2. THe bye weeks have to go somewhere on the schedule. If teams have relatively equal strengths of schedule, it should even out over time. Thats why the opponents should rotate. That would also even out over time.
