Is There A Team In America w/a Tougher Schedule Than Auburn?!!?

[Old School]

Not a fan of downplaying Bama's schedule every year when teams like Clemson, OU, and everyone in the P12 have schedules that are full of unranked and outmatched teams too (although Cuse, Pitt, ISU, and Army play on deer antler steroids from time to time)... but be honest - September isn't even going to be entertaining as a Bama fan. And you only get 3 games that have potential to be exciting altogether.

One of those "good problems to have" but none the less, most of my Bama friends back home are pretty meh about the schedule this year.

To Saban's credit he all for playing a tuff schedule..He just WILL NOT DO IT .. until all the Big 5 Power Houses agree to do it ..?I?ve always said, ?Let?s play all Power 5 games,'? said Saban

Nick isn't leaving that Southern pocket for love or money for any game until everyone is on the same page.

Until then it's Tex A&M, Ark, Tenn,RoseMary's Baby and Western Carolina..then ready for Auburn.

Tennessee being a dumpster fire since Fulmer left / Saban arrived is a big factor. With Jimbo at A&M, and if Gus figures out how to coach, I'm not sure what divisions of what conferences can really talk shit about an SECW team having a schedule that's too easy.

Pac12, Big12 and ACC are even more top heavy than the SEC.

I would say the B1G East would have an argument for being a tougher division to play in, but honestly Penn State and Michigan have each won ONE big OOC P5 game in like 4 years... which is the top talking point for anti-SEC people "oh you just beat up on teams in your conference herp derp." Nope we do pretty damn good in Week 1-2 OOC games and Bowl Season.

I do realize the hypocritical anti-SEC rhetoric will never stop though. Every August-September it's the same thing. Every December-January those people disappear.

Agree fully,,We didnt go to a single game last year,,My wife is going to Atlanta Saturday for Duke but its more to see our daughter than go to game,,I think next year we open with Southern Cal in Dallas,,,Not sure how good Southern Cal will be but its a good helmet game!

NO WAY he is as good as Jackson but you never know!Imagine the Auburn public relations department wheels already spinning,,,

Just kidding you buddy, I don't get a chance to kid Bama fans very often as an Auburn fan. Yeah, it will prob take a couple of years for Bo to come into his own for sure. I think we are in for a learning curve this year coupled with a tough schedule. GL this year to you and Bama, Tua wants to go out with a natty and I think it's between Bama and Clemson ........Again

Thank you sir,,I agree about Bo,,He was playing at Pinson last year as a high schooler,,Tough to adjust that quick to the speed but he is real good,,Our high school team was in same region and he beat us by himself . He could have scored 100 on us! If you guys get past Oregon look out.Gus will do something stupid followed up by running the table and winning it all!,,,
