I smell a skunk!  Personally, I think the 2010 schedule for Alabama is unfair for the SEC opponents we play, in terms of talent, but there's something odd about their schedules are laid out against Alabama. All six have a bye week before the Alabama game! Thats right! I will repeat... Alabama plays 6 SEC games in 2010 against SEC opponents who have a bye week prior to the game against the Tide. Yes, you have heard me correctly. 6 SEC OPPONENTS.

By scheduling fenagling that could only be compared to origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, 6 opposing SEC teams have been able to change their schedules in order to be optimally rested for the national champions. Does this sound fair? It doesn't sound like it to me either, and although I know life is not fair, it does seem like there should be some rules made by the SEC to keep this from happening to any one particular team whether it be Vanderbilt or Alabama.

SEC Commissioner Mike Slive needs to look at the rules of scheduling for the SEC teams, and make sure that there is even scheduling of bye weeks for all teams in the SEC. Alabama athletic director Mal Moore already has raised a a red flag by requesting a review of this issue at a meeting of SEC athletic directors back in December.  The SEC needs to make sure that all SEC teams are scheduled fairly amongst each other from year-to-year so as to not disadvantage or advantage one SEC over another.

With that said, I still think we'll beat the crap out of everybody else anyway! LOL

ROLL TIDE!
