Last season Alabama's two East teams went a combined 13-12, neither finishing ranked. LSU's East division opponents finished a combined 21-6, both teams ended up ranked in the top 10.
And in 2017 LSU's East teams finished a combined 8-15, including Tennessee who was winless in the SEC. Our best OOC game was 4-8 BYU. Was that SEC bias too?

We are on a rotation. Bridge scheduling isn't a thing anymore
Dude, you don't have to tell me this shite, I know it. I'm pointing out what a miserable schedule they have. The fact is that if they would drop that permanent East rivalry bullshite, they would rotate more quality teams on their schedule more often. We could at least go to a 9 game SEC schedule to help with that. But Saban is for keeping Tennessee as a permanent rival, and is against a 9 game SEC sched. Wonder why...

Tennessee has been a permanent team for Alabama since the SEC had set schedules in 1992.

I'm pretty sure all teams in the SEC will finally have played the 6 non-permanent opponents from the opposite division in 2019. Due to the bridge schedule, I believe each team has played 2 teams from the opposing division twice up to this point.
Bama got Missouri and Kentucky twice.

Actually Saban is the only coach in the SEC pushing for a 9 game SE schedule. It's everyone else that has voted against it.
quote:
“I think that somebody needs to step up in college football and get ahead of dwindling attendance, people not coming to games -- too many games that people are not interested in,” Saban said on First Take. “I think every player in the SEC should play every team in the SEC in their career and right now we don’t do that since we expanded to 14 teams and we only play eight SEC games. I’ve been for that for a long time. “But I’m also for playing every game as a Power 5 game. So, you play nine or 10 games in the SEC and you play two other Power 5 schools, so when people go to buy tickets and pay premium for all of that, they’re not seeing Division II schools. They’re seeing, ‘Oh, we're playing five SEC schools and Oklahoma this year at home.’ I think it’s a good thing for college football. It’s a good thing."

Saban has said he is in favor of a 9 game schedule. Some of you just make up shite to post.

“ there is no scheduling bias”
If you don’t think the 2013 SEC bridge schedule didn’t tick all the bias blocks, I don’t know what I can tell you.
Is it rampant? No, but there is certainly good reasons to suggest that it exist. imo

Is this the best you can do? Were you up in arms about the SEC giving us a cake schedule with UT and Florida in 2017, since we are evaluating how easy schedules are on a yearly basis. Florida went 4-7 and Tennessee 4-8 in 2017 when both were on our schedule. And our OOC schedule was a joke. I guess it was the SEC office that caused LSU to lose 3 games with that cake schedule. quote:

The bridge schedule was certainly kind to Alabama. 5 of their 7 rotating games came against Vanderbilt, Missouri and Kentucky.

Correct. Florida was better than Tennessee in the 90's. Peyton Manning was 0-3 against Danny Wuerffel. (0-4 if you count the Saints win over Indy.)
The fact is that since Spurrier arrived in Gainsville almost 30 years ago, Florida has been significantly better than Tenn. Therefore, LSU has played a significantly harder team every year than Bama from the east.

Stop with all the bitching about Bama. Bama's OOC schedule the last few years included, Louisville, FSU, and USC.
We look like little kids crying because big brother "is cheating". There is no cheating. LSU just hasn't been good enough to beat Bama recently. Hopefully CEO will change that next year.

Can we all just understand how this works before saying it's bias. There's a rotating schedule that's set.
It's not bias but yes there can be disadvantages to certain teams if the rotational opponent is a tough one. For example LSU got UGA in 2018 and Florida is our every year opponent so it sucked.

ETA: and as far as bye weeks go they are dependent on which ooc teams the university schedules. So there's much more to it than the SEC office just picking dates for teams.

The SEC method of rotating schedules means that all schedules are not equal. Although Tennessee has not been competitive as Saban has run up an 11-0 record against the Vols while at Alabama, Tennessee historically has been the strongest football team in the SEC among East Division schools. Each year Auburn has Georgia as its regular opponent from the East and LSU has Florida.
quote:
Obviously, if a team is facing a strong opponent as its regular interdivision rival and also draws a strong opponent on the rotating basis, it can be at a disadvantage.
For instance, this year LSU has Georgia as its rotating opponent while Alabama has Missouri, which looks like an advantage for Bama. In 2020 when Alabama plays Georgia, Auburn will be playing Kentucky, which looks like an advantage for Auburn.

For the most part that's true. But it is interesting that since bridge scheduling began in 2012 we have played Georgia twice and South Carolina twice, but have yet to play Vanderbilt! Just seems a little odd how that worked out.

No.
Since 1970, Tennessee is 6th in conference win% and have a worse win% vs Bama than Auburn or LSU.

No, and I'm not up in arms now, just pointing out the bias in scheduling.
quote:quote:

why?
By the very definition of "Bias":
prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group
Alabama's East schedule is biased towards Tennessee, while LSU's is biased towards Florida. Get rid of the permanent opponents, and you get rid of the bias. There is no objective reason Tennessee is always on Alabama's schedule, they simply choose to have them on the schedule - for whatever reason.
Look at this home schedule for Alabama's 2019 season:
vs New Mexico State
vs Southern Mississippi
vs Ole Miss
vs Tennessee
vs Arkansas
vs LSU
vs Western Carolina
I'd be pissed if I paid bought season tickets for that line up for a national title contender.

I'm not pretending anything. This thread's about next year's schedule, and bama's OOC is an enormous joke.
Feel free to argue otherwise.
