Agree on 2-4. Can’t help you on #1, it’s 100 on you to schedule better OOC. No one forced you to go neutral (again), CFB does actually allow you to play in someone else’s stadium. Man up and schedule CU, OK, TX, etc home and home like the big boys are doing.This is one of Bama's worst schedules in a while. Last year was bad, but yeesh. Several reasons:
1. Couldn't find anyone to play in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff; got stuck with Duke
2. Got South Carolina in the rotation
3. Bama's permanent cross-division opponent was the worst in the East last year
4. Bama never plays Bama; it's not a coincidence that 7 of the top 8 SOS all feature games with Bama

All of those are true, but the creme de la creme is even better. I’m not gonna reveal it now, I’ll let the Bama/UT FAN wonder bc I know he’s stalking these posts.Corn bread?
Idk why we don't schedule Memphis every year. Ole Miss has them this year, and most years. Memphis wins enough games to help our SOS, allows us to play another "road" game where we would have more fans (looking at you Vandy) and it gets us in front of our West Tn fans and recruits. Makes NO sense not to have this be a yearly game. But by all means, bring on Charlotte!
I’m with you on one thing. I don’t think the playoff should expand. The goal wasn’t to get every P5 champ in the playoff or to let everyone in that could possibly win it. The playoff started to make sure if more than 2 teams earned it on the field that those teams that earned it would get a shot. Basically, it started to avoid the arguments between teams 2 and 3, not between teams 4 and 5 as there aren’t 5+ teams who have earned a shot in any year based on SOS, record, and whatever else you want to consider. The debates this century like Auburn in 2004 and Bama or OK State come to mind. No one outside of Columbus cares that an Ohio St team that lost by 30 to Iowa didn’t make it so why expand to let them in?
Will agree that anything within 4-5 years is pretty much booked.Bama has home-and-homes with Texas and Notre Dame booked in the coming years.
Regardless, Bama hadn't previously had trouble with these neutral site games (and we've got Miami and USC in the next couple of years). And the CFA folks love having Bama in their game because the tickets disappear. But it just didn't happen this year. I've heard that Texas was almost booked but backed out. Then NC State was almost officially announced and then backed out. By then we're talking less than 3 years removed and there was no time to schedule anything else. Duke had an opening and wanted the payday.
Well if that is the result then I’d be ok with that. More SEC football is never a bad thing! Maybe then we would see matchups like A&M vs UGA more than once a decade. I’m looking forward to that game for sure.I think we should expand to 8 so we can get at least 5 SEC teams in the playoffs.
I was about to tell both of you to go back to your own Bama message board, until I saw your usernames. Smdh.
