The Myth of Dominance Explained by 2013's Schedule ...

    You know what else would have kept Bama from being a dynasty?

    If LSU would have sent a football team to New Orleans this past Jan.

    Or not lost at home to Bama in regulation.

  • That's a lot of words to get to the point that LSU couldn't beat Bama the last two times they've played.

    I was going to say, but there's really nothing like a good conspiracy theory.

    How does the op know the scheduler is a bamma grad? Does the guy do it by himself or does he just run his office with lead pipe cruelty? I want to know this, it's very interesting.

    Stolen from Master_Shake off of Geaux247 ...

    Here is a look at the 2013 schedules of the 3 favorites in the SEC West. If you want to see why the "dynasty" . It has also came to light across message boards across the nation that the SEC schedule delegater is a Bama graduate.

    We need to talk to that asshole about our 2010 schedule then when every damn team in the SEC had a schedule tougher than ours.

    Florida in 2010 and 2011?
    South Carolina in 2009 and 2010?
    Georgia has been dodging everybody for some reason.

    Any fan of the SEC would know that the schedules rotate( a little screwy this year because of expansion) every team in the west plays every team in the east every 5 years up until this year ofcourse. Bama has a yearly opponent in Tennessee ( they use to be worth a crap ) and we had mizzou this year.

    Whats your point, your opinion seems pointless and whiny!

    After all, all you had to do was beat us last January or Last month and wouldn't have to worry about our easy soft schedule cry boy!!baby

  • Has anyone mentioned the year that we had to face 6 straight teams following their bye weeks?

  • I think you're on to something here. Obviously that pro-Bama scheduler thought it would really screw with Miles' mind if they got a bye both the week before and the week after Bama.

    Yea because I base my life off of college football. What do you think, I am Bama fan or something? Just pointing facts and the obvious.

    Here is a look at the 2013 schedules of the 3 favorites in the SEC West. If you want to see why the "dynasty" that is Bama always seems to have a cakewalk of a schedule compared to other SEC teams then read this. It has also came to light across message boards across the nation that the SEC schedule delegater is a Bama graduate. So if you feel Bama has had an easy path to the title game the last few years then you are correct considering a graduate of the institution has a lot of power in the scheduling room. They will be in here to deny it and rabble rabble rabble but facts speak for themselves see Bama 2009 ... This line stuck out to the me most because its true ... "the last time bama played a schedule like LSUs was 2009. they went 9-3. since then the SEC has coddled them, and suddenly they're a "dynasty".

    Okay, a look ahead to 2013 and why the myth will continue to grow ...

    LSU's Schedule: TCU (in Dallas) UAB Kent State Auburn at Georgia at Mississippi State Florida at Ole Miss Furman Open at bama Open Texas A&M Arkansas

    Bamas schedule: Virginia Tech (in Atlanta) at Texas A&M Ole Miss Georgia State at Kentucky Arkansas Tennessee Open LSU Mississippi State Chattanooga at Auburn

    A&Ms schedule: Rice Sam Houston State Alabama SMU at Arkansas Open at Ole Miss Auburn Vanderbilt Open Mississippi State New Mexico at LSU at Missouri

    if youre point shaving in basketball, youre not just gonna steal the ball from your teammate and kick it into the stands. it takes a little subtlety. same way with stacking the deck for bama. they cant just hand them the SEC trophy, but they can make life easy for them and hard for us.

    1. the obvious: LSU will play from the East division Florida and at UGA (both in the current top 7), Bama will go east and play Tenn and UK (a combined 1-15 in the SEC this year). As TigerNE said, bama was supposed to play UGA this year and next, but that just sorta disappeared.

    2. for the third year in a row, we play twice as many high end SEC teams as Bama. LSU gets Bama, Texas AM, UGA, Florida, they get LSU and Texas AM. so LSU is twice as likely to lose, as was the case this year.

    3. like Arkansas under Petrino, Texas AM has a complex passing game that gets better as the year goes on. When Ark was good, they were always the third or fourth game on bamas schedule. now they suck, and, magically, Texas AM has moved into that early big game slot (from the 10th game this year to the second game next year).

    4. this year, bama played LSU and A&M back to back. they barely beat LSU, lost to A&M (perhaps because they were beat up and tired from LSU). next year those two games, the only two tough games they play, are 6 weeks apart.

    this year LSU played A&M and bama back to back (after playing South Carolina and Florida, meaning 4 top 10 teams in a row), but unlike bama, LSUs schedule only changed a little. we play bama, then a bye, then A&M. this works in our favor but also in bamas favor. even if we play well we could already have 2 losses at this point and be out of it, but us beating A&M could make life easier for bama.

    5. after playing Texas AM, bama starts a 7 week stretch where they play Ole Miss and Georgia State at home, then at Kentucky, then Arkansas and Tenn at home, then a bye, then us. Ole Miss will be a challenge. Other than that, its 1 road game in seven weeks, 1 FCS school, 4 of the worst teams in the SEC, and a bye leading up to us. should be nice and rested.

    LSU on the other hand play at UGA, at Miss State, Florida, at Ole Miss, then Furman and a bye. those last two are nothing of course but we could easily have two losses by then. we have three road games in a month, playing 2 good teams and two really good teams.

    people seem to forget or ignore that playing good teams is harder than playing easy teams. it beats you up, it wears you down, and if you lose one its depressing. bama learned that playing LSU and A&M back to back, and that sh*t got changed in a hurry.

    the saying "football is a game if inches" is 100 percent true, and these are just a few of the little things that add up to stack the deck for bama, and its been happening for years now. the last time bama played a schedule like LSUs was 2009. they went 9-3. since then the SEC has coddled them, and suddenly they're a "dynasty".

    I agree. No tinfoil hat needed when you can show facts and prove assumptions.

    Bama isnt big on facts. Even their media guide said they were undefeated last year. SMH

  • With each day, it becomes more and more obvious Alabama killed LSU's spirit back in January. You people haven't been the same since. Whining, losing, struggling to beat Auburn and Towson, etc.

  • Why would a Bama grad give LSU basically 2 bye weeks before playing Alabama and the another afterwards?

  • I don't understand why people keep complaining that the SEC/media/etc coddles and gives preferential treatment to Bama. Of course they do, they always have. Why do you think Alabama has such a fine tradition of excellence? It has been given to us on a silver platter because the SEC office is in Birmingham thus we are the home team. You don't rack up the number of championships and wins that we have on your own.

    It's like complaining that nazis hate Jews. It's a well known fact by everyone and it's never going to change. 15 in January, obviously 16 next January. Everything is going to plan.

  • admittedly yall drew the short stick, even we pulled TAMU at home a second year, we get yall in oxford, an off week between texas and bama, and get mizzou from the east. We do get the chance to go to Texas, back to bama,to starkville, and to vandy though. atleast yall get bye weeks before bama and between them and TAMU
