SEC schedule argument...

Some people say just beat the teams on you schedule and you dont have anything to cry about. I wouldn't mind LSU playing UF, USC, and UGA if the other teams that are contending for the SEC champion play them too. But if the SEC champion is suppose to be the best team in the league than they should have had to face the same rigorous schedule as their biggest in conference challenger. Apples to apples. Oranges to oranges.

LSU was the first school in the SEC to play overseas when we played Havana, Cuba. I think we should play Germany.

Scheduling is never fair. Hell we have to worry about Ohio State and Someone from the PAC 2 or Big 2. Things will even out in the SEC. Those other conferences will just have one team that has to get up for 2 or 3 games. Bitch about that instead

I agree with you, just as I have the 757,894,267,985 other threads that have said the EXACT SAME THING.

Let me say the same thing that's been said just a different way...

The problem is that some of the power teams shift from year to year.
Tenn was really good in the 90's, but have struggled as of late to be consistent. Look at Auburn. Not very good in 2009, win with Cam in 2010, and got progressively worse the years following..
Essentially the only way to make it work would be to create a seeding system for cross divisional games based on the previous years finishing rank. Yet this would never happen.
The natural attrition in football would also make this arbitrary for some teams. See the Auburn example.

LSU and UF are not alone this year though. UGA has now joined the party as they have to play 3 possibly top 15 teams in the first four games. But I agree that SC getting either Bama or A&M could have at least leveled the field a little bit more. I think Texas A&M should make Texas their mainstay OOC ival like UF does FSU.
People from other conferences usually like to point at SEC OOC games but LSU always gets at least 2 competent FBS teams to play against. Hsll to even out when they schedule shite like this I wouldn't mind 3 FCS games (only when they give us a ridiculous conference schedule).

How do I link a pdf? I have the helmet schedule on my desktop.

It's hard to argue that Bama somehow benefitted from an easier schedule and doesn't deserve the SEC title when Bama actually beats LSU on the field. Thus, in order for the scheduling argument to have any legitimacy, LSU at least needs to beat the Tide this season.

Bama fans don't care about being the best team...they care about getting the trophy, the title, and the revenue that comes with those things.
Their fans have no dignity or respect for the game.

Really if they got rid of the permanent and let it freely rotate I would be ok with it. This would also allow for more match ups with the other division. The permanent can create an advantage and also the bs bridge scheduling did also.
Also LSU played Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Miss St. over roughly a month period. That is crazy considering those teams finished 54-12 combined.
