Whatever Les Miles says about the issue, it’s going to come across as whining.

So I’ll say it for him: The SEC schedule during what the league has termed a “bridge” format to accommodate the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M has stacked the odds squarely against LSU.

Yes, you’re supposed to play the schedule you’re dealt. But if you’re looking at it from the LSU perspective, you can’t help but wonder if somebody’s doing some dealing from the bottom of the deck.


Oh yeah...

Oh shite...maybe my troll tweets and emails are paying off. I take 1/1000th credit for this article.

...maybe not. They still don't mention that UGA was taken off BOTH years of the pre-expansion schedule.

There can be no valid argument against his point. It's a one off schedule and is ridiculously easy for Bama and tough for LSU. It's nothing new.

Does it seem unbalanced? Sure

Do I personally care? No

Play what you dealt, knowing its tougher for LSU just makes it more gratifying when they win out.

basically calling the SEC schedule makers cheaters. something we've all known for a long time. it sucks that a conference which earns so much cred on the field can be so biased and corrupt at the league office.

thank you Chris Low.

get better...get even.

This needs to be said! The SEC West schedule for Eastern Division opponents is favorable to Alabama and unfavorable to LSU... and it has been that way for years.

Bama: UK, UT
TAMU: Vandy, MIZZ
LSU: UF, UGA
Auburn: UT, UGA

I wish he would go a step further and tell the nation that the schedule maker for the SEC is a Bama graduate and former Alabama athletic dept employee.
