UT lands 6th in SEC SOS

[secking]

Look who is last...

 

[bamawriter]

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

 

[BeardedVol]

The sad part, is that at the moment we contribute to several of those teams' weak SOS.

 

[Jack Burton]

lol 6 of the 7 bottom teams play us this year. I guess we help out their cause.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

It's sad because it's true

Until we change the playoff format to 8 teams, the Bama and Ohio State schedules will become the norm....

Power 5 conference champions
2 wild card teams
Top team from non power 5 league

Here is what it would have looked like last yr

1 Bama v 8 Washington
2 Clemson v 7 UCF
3 ND v 6 OSU
4 Oklahoma v 5 UGA

Another snooze year for turd and blowing everyone away until Klemson.

No thanks. The semifinals mostly suck as it is.

Just an extra game before Clemson whips your ass again...

Yet, I suspect Nick Saban finds no joy in this, since he finds no joy in anything.

One of the most bitter, unhappy people I have ever seen who is a complete success in his profession. If his true persona is anything like his public persona, I honestly do not envy him in any way.

this.

We'll see.

In all honesty, it really sucked to get beaten down by 4 scores. I can't imagine what it must be like to see it happen to my team every year.

 

[Gandalf]

We'll see.

Yeah, I see what you did there. Stick around chump, Pruitt will have us a threat by 2021 and Saban won't be at the bubba's forever.

 

[Behr]

We'll see.

If I personally had anything to do with it, you bunch of peckerwoods would be begging not to play us. Ever.

But I don't, go ahead and act like you did.

 

[Boca Vol]

It's not Bama's fault UT and other SEC teams aren't up to snuff.

Soon!

 

[sjt18]

Bama's SOS would be stronger if they had to play Bama like 8 other SEC teams do.

 

[Boca Vol]

If UT and Bama swapped schedules, UT's SOS would probably go up.

But I don't, go ahead and act like you did.

I didn't, but I do appreciate you giving your blessing.

 

[CAVPUT]

About time we started easing off on these brutal schedules. This program needs a break while we dig out of this near 20 year hole we've dug for ourselves. I'm fine with a few cupcakes mixed into the SEC gauntlet.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

We'll see.

In all honesty, it sucks posting on an opposing fan site when you've had their number for a decade. I can't imagine what it must be like to do it 20,000 times...

It's pretty entertaining, actually.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

So this is our most favorable schedule in perhaps a decade and it is still the 6th toughest in SEC?

I can't wait to be the reason Alabama's, Georgia's and Florida's SOS are so tough!

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

It's pretty entertaining, actually.

I've never visited a Bama football fan site or the #1 dating site in Alabama (ancestry.com). Are the Bama football sites that boring or did the Clemson ass-kicking liven them up?

Yea, you couldn't even have a conversation with the tea-bagging, tree-killing, knuckle-draggers when we were winning 9 of 10 and 10 of 12 games. Now, they want to talk smack. Their time's coming, sooner or later we'll be out of this funk that we put ourselves in. Saban will retire as well, and the cheating will once again continue (if its ever stopped) that the inbreds have done for decades if not generations.

It only takes 2 words to shut Bama fans up. We know it, they know it, the CFB world knows it.
