30,000 posts ? man i was excited about my 1000th the other day ..lol..
Auburn is pretty good , were you as upset with them playing Mercer on 9/16 ?
i dont have to tell you, to run through a full sec season is tough, there has to be a breather in there somewhere ..
I have a lot to say......:0003
I'm pretty sure the players didn't sign on with Bama to play the Mercer Bears..... If you as a Bama fan are thrilled with Saturday's match up who am I to judge.....Are you taking in the game or scalping your ticket?
Im not thrilled about this game . Its the games on Jan 1st and 8th we get excited about.

pre season ranking mean nothing
and you know that better than I do .
there should not even be a ranking til week #5 at the earliest
it absurd..
yes they all play cupcakes
here is truth ...........IMHO
Tenn has been second tier for years and will be many more years..
Ark hasn't been strong since 2011..6 SEASON of ugly
Vanderbilt..great school according to media everywhere
LSU..Bama has beat them 7 straight times..at some point for the other team to be taken as a serious rival to a SEC and National Championship they have to defeat Bama..Well 7 chances...now they are a weak sister too
Texas AM..a nobody who went 11-2 in 2012
Ole Miss 10-3 in 2015 their claim to fame..well that and some other stuff
Auburn 12-2 in 2013 ...lost 16 games these last 3 seasons
just an unbiased review of the last several years in the SEC..
Like many others have said...It ain't all that tuff a road for Bama to drive on anymore.
Doesn't mean that they will not end up Champs..Doesn't mean they aren't the best team in college football..
Playing Mercer now is not a deserved break..It's a cupcake break in November before playing Auburn all by design.
but its all about "Roll Tide" and I get it...
I have no college team to fall on the sword for...I have friends who live and die for LSU and OHIO State.
I get ....Your quote below says says it all...:toast:

As an Auburn fan......cough, cough! The problem with the schedule for Bama is that the SEC teams are terrible this year. Three schools have won by large margins over these train wreck teams which hurts SOS. Auburn, Georgia and Bama are the only teams that will have an impact on the national scene over the next few weeks.
Auburn played #2 Clemson at Clemson......the way it should be, not on a neutral field. Auburn beat #1 Georgia and then plays ULM (another cupcake) before playing another #1 Bama the following week. I am not sure how many teams have ever played two number one teams in a three week span? If Auburn beats Bama and goes to the SEC Championship game, they will have played 3 top 5 teams within a 4 week period. That is brutal JMO
Florida State did not do Bama any favors........ having Mercer as your last home game has to suck :lol:

I gave this some thought . I wonder if the committee would make them play in the first round ?
As crazy as it sounds it really just comes down to auburn beating Alabama and Georgia again
This post is a waste of time
Clemson plays The Citadel this weekend by the way
Oklahoma plays Kansas. Wow. Mercer prob beats them
The problem with this week is that it used to be an off week for Auburn so that didn?t bode well for Bama as rhe AU/Bama used to be played on Thursday (Thanksgiving) then got moved to Friday then eventually Saturday
Best to play an earlier Conference schedule an play an easier team late before Auburn ga,e
Not ideal in my mind and if the league would move to 9 conference games this would go away
Saban actually was the only coach who voted for that this past year actually
I do somewhat agree with you.
Wish we played a real team this week

You said, ?The problem with this week is that it used to be an off week for Auburn so that didn?t bode well for Bama as rhe AU/Bama used to be played on Thursday (Thanksgiving) then got moved to Friday then eventually Saturday?.
That?s bullshit and you know it.
Find me the years where the game was played on Thursday and Auburn had a bye week the Saturday before but Alabama didn?t. Hint: You can?t
:facepalm:
See what you started now Sports,,,,Next you will have a Herschel VS Bo discussion on the Saturdays that ended in X or Z,,..Geez man,,,,and cook those wings a little more
Saban SHOULD have been outvoted. He voted against his own self interest. 9 conferences games - and a guaranteed 6-6/.500 record for the conference in that extra game is bad for business and is what has hamstrung the Pac 12 for so long.
Trivia note - Only 3 teams in the NCAA have never played a FBS school. USC and its 2 rivals. That is all.
