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

The state produces good players, the problem for UT right now is they aren't signing enough of them.
2019 has 13 4/5 star players. 2 of them are committed to UT.
2018 had 11 4/5 star players. 3 of them signed with UT.
2017 had 9 4/5 star players. 2 of them signed with UT.

Why are we worried about Bama's schedule? Our schedule lines up nicely to win the SEC West for sure.

Stop whining about Bama. Clemson handles Bama so there is no reason why we can’t.

Tennessee has had two competitive teams since 2000. One in 2001 and one in 2007. LSU beat both of them in the SEC Championship. The SEC schedule is clearly biased

Define competitive. Tennessee won the East in 2004 as well. And have won 9+ games 7 times since 2000.

That Tennessee hasn't been good does not mean the SEC is clearly biased. Those are not mutually exclusive ideas.

bingo. And I don't know why we worry about Alabama's schedule when we can't beat them. If we had been beating them semi-regularly and lost to other strong teams Alabama didn't have to play, then maybe argue that point. But if you can't beat a team for 8 years, it sounds childish to complain about the strength of their schedule. Not to mention it is completely over-exaggerated how weak their schedule has been.

Sure they do, and historically, their biggest pipelines have been Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and a little in N Alabama. Nashville is growing exponentially, so they will have more and more great instate talent to recuit from. They don't have the athletes right now because they've had terrible coaching hires the last 10 years. That and Clemson, Georgia, and Alabama are all good right now, which hurts the pipelines they've always had.

People who say there’s no scheduling disparity are being willfully ignorant. A rotating cross conference schedule is the common sense solution because it’s the fairest way and would produce the more interesting matchups . And 4 year players could play a home and away with every sec team. Makes too much sense to ignore that.
Tennessee hasn’t been good under the current system. And even when they were at their best, Florida still owned them and will always be a better program. Also the bridge scheduling was a total hack job.

So basically Bama has two weeks to prepare for the two best teams in the SEC West.
I’m lost... So is Bama now the third best team in the West? No seriously... Do you really think Bama needs a bye week before A&M or us? Like where do people come up with these threads... Lmmfao

I would like to see LSU play a game a week before Bama. It seems the bye hurts LSU and the momentum that they have by taking that week off. Have the bye the week after Bama.

As long as Bama can get to the Championship Round without even having to play in the SEC CG - they have no incentive to schedule harder. Bama has won two titles when they didn’t play in the SEC CG. They’ll keep loading up on patsies until it will one day cost them - then they’ll change. Saban has everyone believing they deserve a shot at the title even if they lost in week 12. Benefit of the doubt....

the OP is just using yet another excuse for why Bama is great and we're not.
It's not scheduling bias, SEC office corruption, media bias, Bama paying players, Bama putting players on steroids, cheating referees, the bye week, or LSU putting too much emphasis on the Bama game. (Did I miss any?).
It's the simple fact that Bama has better players, they're better coached, and have better gameplanning. Pure and simple.
All this flailing around looking for excuses is utterly pathetic.

They don't run and hide. Really hard to believe people don't get this.

Alabama's S.O.S. has been higher ranked than ours every year since 2011 so I'm not sure why everyone says their schedule is so easy. Maybe the play "easier" cupcakes but I don't really think it matters if you play Utah State or McNeese in the grand scheme of things.

It's all because Tennessee has been down for so long. It is no coincidence that Alabama's current run has been while Tennessee has performed well below their historical average.
The combination of a great coach and their cross-division rival being down has resulted in Alabama's run over the past 10 years (not to mention rarely playing Florida or Georgia in the regular season).

Take LSU out of bama's schedule and bama out of ours for both 2018 and 2019.
If you take Alabama off our schedule next year, our SEC schedule is easy as hell too
A&M at home (Alabama plays A&M on the road)
Florida at home
Auburn at home (Alabama plays Auburn on the road)
our rotating East team is Vanderbilt
There isn't some monumental difference in playing UT/USC compared to Vandy/Florida
The SEC has no control over OOC schedules, so the fact that LSU scheduled Texas next year is completely irrelevant as it pertains to these alleged scheduling biases in the SEC.

Oth teams have had a bye week before this game since the 2010 season. It definitely hasn’t helped the good guys in the last eight years. With your logic ay e we can combine both of our bye weeks a d have three weeks to get ready. Do you think that would help?

Playoffs is changing the college football landscape. It's just begining. Soon playoffs will be expanded, Permanent opponents will soon be gone, and then I would think conference championships will be gone. Sooner then later I would hope the permanent opponents will be gone and scheduled will get a minimum standard. I would think possibly end of conferences in the distant future. Sad but only way to make things as close as possible between schools
