It not about getting a bye, its about playing teams coming off a bye, 17 to 5, I see the parity.

I understand that. My point was that if anyone had a gripe as far as byes go than it would be Vandy for not getting one and not bama for having to play teams coming off one.

I heard Mal Moore was upset with Florida for being located in a state with palm trees and warmer weather. :crazy:

Lil Lane never does that, does he? (Officials conspiring for UF & UA; cheating UT from it's rightful "do-over" FG kick vs UA...etc.) :post-4-1090547912:

Imagine level of "It's a conspiracy!!!" rant that would be spewed on this board if UT were in Bama's shoes on this SEC bye week situation. :post-4-1090547912:

Since 2007, Bama has faced 17 SEC opponents coming off byes. The next closest are LSU who faced five and UT who faced four.

Next season, Bama faces six straight SEC opponents comming off byes.

The SEC ADs agreed with Bama AD Mal Moore that it is unfair and needs to be addressed.

In fairness, I've heard plenty of conspiracy crap on this topic from Bama fans. It generally revolved around Kramer hating them and extends back a lot farther than 2007.

I think it stems more from the huge discrepency in the top 2 schools playing teams coming off of bye weeks. 17-5 is huge in a short amount of time. If the numbers were more around 6-5 or 8-6, then you wouldn't hear anything being said because it wouldn't be a big deal. Think if your 2010 schedule had 11 opponents coming off of bye weeks before they played you. Damn 2 weeks to prepare would give anyone an edge and it would lead to a ton of *****ing. It's a legit concern that should be addressed.

Yep. Bama's fanbase has it's share of tin foil hatters. Awbarn is blessed in that regard as well.

Never heard that before. I had to google it to see what in the world you were talking about. :) Now that I know, I can safely say its ubiquitous in college football.

A legitimate gripe IMO, they have played 17 games where teams had a bye week since 07.the next team has played 5 in that time span. We are scheduled to play six next year.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information. I just looked back at the past three years schedules and found 10 SEC teams that had a bye before their game with bama. Not sure if you're 17 is non-conference also but that is up to the individual schools to schedule those game.

Although 10 is still a good amount for 3 years, it isn't the end of the world, and it definitely isn't 17.

:hi:

You're right that it's 10 for 2007-2009. So, including the six on the 2010 schedule, the total is actually 16. Sorry for the error in my previous post stating 17. My bad.

Here's the source:

LINK: SEC looks to adjust football schedules

...

As of now, six of Alabama's eight SEC opponents in 2010 will be coming off an open week when they play against the Crimson Tide, by far the most in the league. From the 2007 season through 2010, Alabama's schedules included 16 idle-rested opponents, while the next highest total in the league over that span (LSU) was only five.

IMO, a bye week is not always good. Its not that cut and dry, that it is a good thing for the team with the open week.

It's all good. The first guy to post said "they have played 17 games since 2007". The way he wrote that he was implying they had played 17 in the previous 3 years. You can see where there would be some confusion.

There are considerations such as the team with the bye perhaps getting out of sync/rythm somewhat by not playing for a week, but I think most coaches would say the team with the bye has several key advantages. Those include the ability for players to get some rest and recovery from injuries, extra time for coaches to gameplan and add wrinkles, and extra time for the players to study/prepare/practice against a better prepared scout team. Consider that the teams that gave Bama the biggest challenge this season were UT and Auburn, who both had byes prior to playing Bama.

The 17 come from the number of open dates SEC teams had before playing Bama when the SEC schedule was put in place. Some of the teams with an open date chose to play an OOC game in that opening. Sports Illustrated did a piece on it a while back showing Bama played more than double as many teams that have 2 weeks to prepare than any other SEC team. And next year they have a bunch of teams that have 2 weeks to get ready for them. Boo Hooo

Which would you prefer----That schedule or a promise of no HOLDING CALLS?
Click to expand...

The only missed holding call was on the second blocked field goal on your tigtht end. Actually you were holding the whole second half. Get over the conspiracy theory. I do have to admit that it is entertaining, but it just makes you and your fan base look like a sore loser.

They should adjust their schedule with no byes weeks, i.e. Vandy.

Then they'd whine even more because they're so tired. WWHHHAAAAAAAA

"Everyone should be treated the same...uh... everyone except us. We want to be called the best, but we don't want to have to work for it. Someone should step in and make everyone schedules' "fair"."

Sounds like all the Gumps down in Gumpaloosa want scheduling welfare... And we know how Gumpaloosa loves that welfare.
