re: If you don’t think the scheduling is biased, check out next years

This thread's about next year's schedule, and bama's OOC is an enormous joke.
Ok, and ours was a joke in 2017. It happens. I think some of you won't be happy unless Alabama has Florida and UGA on the schedule every year and schedules nothing but top 25 P5 teams OOC.

Stop with all the bitching about Bama. Bama's OOC schedule the last few years included, Louisville, FSU, and USC.
What does this have to do with 2019? You in the wrong thread?

There is no cheating
This is just false, and that's not to mention anything about OOC scheduling. Bama is the dirtiest program in the modern era...everyone knows it, and every argument isn't exclusive to one topic. Bama can cheat while we continue to be worse than them at football.

Tennessee has been a permanent team for Alabama since the SEC had set schedules in 1992.
I understand that, but there has been some talk of switching up permanent cross division opponents since and Bama has declared (with the Birmingham SEC offices conceding, of course) that removing Tennessee for them is a non-starter, as it is apparently the most sacrosanct game in the conference.

Enjoy your new topic.
We have a stronger SOS nearly every year than them.
That should be the end of the thread.

because they can't play themselves. We get a huge boost from Alabama being on our schedule every year

It's not just Alabama. UGA and Auburn are blocking it too. And I really don't know why so many people complain. I hope we continue to play Florida every year. If you don't enjoy having a premier program on your schedule every year and wish to have a weaker schedule, then you're watching the wrong sport.

a scheduling bias would encompass more than 1 year. So more than 2019 is relevant to that discussion
And there is no bias when it comes to OOC scheduling. LSU is well within their rights to schedule nothing but G5 teams OOC every year. That does not equate to a bias because one year Alabama's strongest OOC game is Duke, just like one year our strongest was BYU. shite, this year Miami was our strongest and they turned out to be terrible.

f that gives us a better chance at beating them, then so be it
I’m guessing this is a joke but no I do not want to become irrelevant just to beat Bama. I am not one that puts the whole season on that one game. If LSU went 11-1 with a lost to Bama but still won a national championship some how I bet there would be people complaining they didn’t beat Bama.

You're basically speaking my mantra. I want pretty much nothing but legit games on EVERYONE'S schedule.
My only issue is certain teams get to declare what is sacrosanct TO THEM and affect what happens to everyone else.
Who is LSU's sacrosanct declaration?

What I said is true and factual. Alabama has finished 1st or 2nd in the nation the last 4 years. Having the #1 or #2 team on your schedule boosts your SOS. Alabama cannot put themselves on their own schedule, also factual. Alabama had the 17th ranked SOS heading to the SECCG this year. At the end of the season, they had played 5 teams that FINISHED in the top 15. It what universe is that a weak schedule? And you have no idea how good or bad the teams on their schedule will be next year or how good or bad the teams on ours will be.

I agree that there is bias, but it won't matter this year. Bama just got gutted by early departures. They hired an OC that fricked them two years ago. I see the beginning of a down turn in Tuscaloosa this year. I predict Bama loses 2 games this year.

I am someone who respects the historic rivalries. I don't like how so many traditions in CFB have fallen by the wayside. UT/Alabama may not have the luster it once did, but UT has far too many resources, money, and support in their program to be bad forever. They have everything in place you would ever need to build a strong program. All it will take is the right coach, someone they haven't found yet (I guess jury is still out on Pruitt). Same could be said of us back in the 90s. Wonder if people were complaining Florida got a layup by playing LSU every year when we were terrible.
If I'm LSU, my "sacrosanct declaration" would be to keep the Florida rivalry and not agree to any new realignment (this is in reference to people pushing the POD system) where we don't play Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida every year. We have fans that bitch about a weak home schedule on one hand and then bitch about other team's having a weak schedule on the other. We can't have it both ways. IMO, I want to play the best and beat the best. I do think there should be some uniformity in the relative strengths, but if you look at it, the three historically best teams in the East are permanently paired with the three best teams in the West. If anything, the "Big 6" are being catered to with premier matchups every year.

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 Alabama's two East teams went a combined 10-14 while LSU's went 9-14. It almost seems like this shite is cyclical or varies from season to season.

Tennessee won the East 10 years ago. They won the national title 20 years ago. Since they won a national tile in 1998, they have won 3 East titles and have won 9+ games in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2015, and 2016. I don't know why people try to embellish how long Tennessee has been terrible. They've been bad since 2008 with a couple respectable seasons in that time. It's also odd how our fans throw shade at Tennessee when we had 7 losing seasons from 1989-1999. My only guess is some of you are too young to know that football has, in fact, been played for more than 10 years.

8-15. Florida went 4-7 (3-5) and Tennessee went 4-8 (0-8). But I agree with your overall point. We got the worst and only winless team in the conference from the East and our fans are complaining about Alabama getting a lucky draw
I wonder if that "scheduling bias" is the reason we lost to Troy too

Schools do their own scheduling.

Take LSU out of bama's schedule and bama out of ours for both 2018 and 2019...thanks for playing.

Tennessee won't be relevant for many years, if ever. They used to be able to pull players out of Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, that ship has sailed. The Tenn schools don't have the athletes to make them competitive in the SEC.
So basically the Gumps 2 primary rivals, LSU and Auburn have Florida and Georgia, the Gumps have West Vanderbilt.
