you're sad dude. You're the only one getting so worked up about this even though I agreed with you.

1. LSU plays a tougher schedule than bama


In one year. What about from 2012-2017? You're factually correct but your fact is pointless and serves no purpose.

. LSU should reevaluate its scheduling strategy based on this.


Based on one year where we had a higher s.o.s. than Bama we should re evaluate all of our scheduling parameters. Thank God you don't work for the AD.

Hey...what's your point?


My point is looking at one year of scheduling and saying that we need to re think all of our scheduling is just dumb. We have zero control over us playing UF and Bama playing UT. We then rotate out an East opponent which we also don't really control. So all we can do is control some of our cupcakes/ooc games, which won't matter all that much tbh.

But please continue your yelling at me. This is comical.

ah, you conveniently cut it off at 2018. If you'd have gone back from 2017 to 2007, you'd see the following Bama regular season OOC opponents:

Glad you're not arguing. LSU played and plays a tougher schedule than bama in both 2018 and 2019.

When the decision was made to make UF LSU's perm and UTenn bama's perm, UTenn's program was far superior to UF's and had been for 75 years. I understand that has changed in the 21st century, but it is schools like Ole Miss, State, UK, Vandy, Carolina, A&M, Mizzou, and Arkansas that like the schedules this way, i.e. with crossdivision perms. It's not because of Bama, Tenn, and UGA that that won't change.

Yes, it's quite hilarious that no one ever complains that Ole Miss' permanent East team is Vanderbilt You want to talk about a built in advantage, well there it is. But let's focus on Alabama being paired with a historically successful program because they've fallen on hard times recently and Alabama is good right now.

Wanna know why no one complains about Ole Miss and the others? Because those programs don't win anything of consequence. But when all logic fails, let's just claim conspiracy in the SEC office

They obviously do. I've been having trouble getting a couple people here to admit that plain as day fact...and it's aggravating seeing these baws be so dishonest.

I won't explain why it matters...this should be plain as day obvious, too. Really, man?

I would say all of this tells us that we probably need to reevaluate our scheduling strategy.

The problem is you are focusing on two seasons. Why only two? What about 2017? How is that any less relevant? Why was it fair that LSU got to play the worst team in the SEC in the rotation and 4-7 Florida as their permanent? Unless you are claiming this bias started this year, you have no argument. The fact that a couple of times Alabama had a weaker schedule does not equate to there being a scheduling conspiracy, sorry.

That doesn't mean he doesn't make sure the permanent opponent format never changes.

LSU is the only program complaining about the permanent cross-division games and it makes us look like losers looking for an easy road. If we had a long standing rivalry like Auburn/UGA and UT/Alabama, you can bet your arse we wouldn't want to change them. I don't see any UT fans complaining about having to play Alabama every year, and they're the most detrimented by the whole thing.

So you know how strong the teams on our 2019 schedules will be?

Did you predict Miami to go 7-6 and Richt to retire? What about Auburn at 8-5? Did anyone expect Florida to go 10-3? Did anyone expect Louisville to go 2-10 and fire their coach? So are you saying you can tell me right now that our schedule will be harder next year? For all we know Texas and Florida take a nose dive and don't end up being strong opponents.

He has no clue. I don't even think he fully understands what point he is trying to make here. Apparently LSU needs to re work its entire scheduling parameters because we were #1 s.o.s. in 2018 and Bama was "only" #5. You just need to ignore that Bama had a higher sos from 2012-2017 for his point to make even a little sense.

I honestly don't even think he knows what he's arguing anymore. He's tried to move the goal posts of the entire thread that the entire premise is whether or not Alabama had a harder schedule this year, as if there is some way to go back in time each year and change the schedules so we have an easier schedule than them. Also completely discounting the fact that they had a top 5 SOS this year , with the biggest difference being we played Alabama and they played LSU.

If we are to follow the argument in the OP that there is a bias in the SEC regarding scheduling, then he has failed to provide any rational reason as to why. Showing that one year we had a harder schedule does not accomplish that goal. If this argument were made when we were still doing bridge scheduling, then I could see that argument because the SEC was making schedules on a year-to-year basis regarding rotating cross-division games and Alabama played all the weak teams in the East during that time period. But that isn't what he's doing at all.
