Nick Saban doesn't feel SEC's proposed schedule is fair for Alabama Tony_Tsoukalas weighs in:
Nick Saban doesn’t think Alabama is getting a fair shake when it comes to the SEC’s proposed scheduling format.
Alabama’s three proposed opponents include Auburn, LSU and Tennessee, a trio Saban feels puts the Crimson Tide at a disadvantage. Most list Auburn, LSU and Tennessee as Alabama’s top rivals. The SEC is also considering the past 10 years of winning percentages when deciding permanent opponents. However, Saban argues that Tennessee’s recent resurgence makes those numbers deceiving.
Tennessee snapped a 15-game losing streak to Alabama last season, beating the Crimson Tide 52-49 in Knoxville. Meanwhile, LSU handed Alabama its second loss with a 32-31 overtime victory in Baton Rouge.
