- Thread starter ALA2262
- Start date
Bama faces the maximum 3 teams with a bye. Again. LSU and Auburn both face two. No other teams face more than one.
Nine of the 14 are prior to West Division teams. UGA and UF are both off prior to their game so that accounts for two of the five prior to East Division teams.

Okay. Old eyes I guess. I read 6 instead of 5.
I like how our schedule lines up this year with OM, Ark and TN at home.
They should make a new rule that you cannot play two teams in a row with bye weeks before they play you (unless you get a bye for one of the games). That's ridiculous. Plus we play at Georgia, Arkansas, at Texas A&M, and then Tennessee with the last two teams with bye weeks. Seems someone the SEC office doesn't like us.
Unless things have changed recently, teams get to pick their own bye weeks with the SEC office working out conflicts.
This is nothing new. Everyone wants their bye week before Alabama (I happen to think they would be better off taking a bye the week after they plays us in order to heal up, but I digress). There was one season not that long ago, when 6 teams had their bye before us. Maybe 5. Seems like that was 2010. After that, I think the SEC office tries to limit the amount of teams on your schedule that have a bye before they play you. Of course, this only effects Alabama.

It's also worth noting that while some of our opponents aren't coming off an official bye, essentially these are: Ole Miss (Fresno St), UGA (Southern), Auburn (Idaho). We have weak opponents before these 3 games as well, but there's not a single game where we come in more "rested" than our opponent. No excuses here. Just pointing out a couple of additional challenges to an already difficult schedule. With the depth we have, it should only strengthen this team down the road with the 2s and 3s getting more PT. My fear is that a win at UGA will take a lot out of this team and no time to rest with Ark, A&M and UT up next in consecutive weeks.
In a 14 week season, as is 2015, SEC schools are given 5 open dates in which to schedule 4 OOC games and a bye week. First come, first served on byes before Bama, with a maximum of 3 since 2010 when Bama had the 6 bye thingy. The 14th week is reserved for the SECCG.

The Ole Miss fans don't care who is playing. It's all about the party in the Grove.
There were 14 weeks in the season last year. There are only 13 weeks this year. IIRC, it's because of how Labor Day falls on the calendar.
2013 and 2014 were 15 week seasons. They are like Easter, you have to know what the Moon is doing to know when they occur. :biggrin: 2015 is a 14 week season.
15 and 14. Don't forget SECCG week. Big 12 plays that week so they get two byes this year. They had 3 in 2013 and 2014. Army and Navy get as many as they like.

Reminiscent of the 2009 season when Bama was playing their 5th consecutive SEC game and 8th consecutive week against Tennessee with them having played but 3 SEC games previously and had the week off before the game with Bama. Barely ended well.
A closer look at all teams regarding this issue reveals that the Roy Kramer influence on SEC scheduling is still alive and well. Little question that Bama and UK are ut's largest rivals.
We are all aware that 6 schools have open dates prior to playing Bama in 2015 and that 3 took the week off and 3 scheduled cupcakes. Next on the list is, you guessed it, UK with 5. No other school has more than 3.
Need I tell you that at the bottom of the list, along with Ark, is ut with just one!? MO plays BYU the week prior to their game with ut. All other ut SEC opponents were scheduled (by the SEC) a conference game.
And why is Arkansas there in 2015 with ut with just one also? Roy Kramer SEC Schedule Rule #1-Do anything that will help ut. Roy Kramer SEC Schedule Rule #2-Do anything that will hurt Bama. What West Division team in 2015 has the best chance to knock Bama out of the West Division Championship if they have a little help with the schedule? Atm plays Nevada the week prior to their game with Arkansas. All other Arkansas SEC opponents were scheduled (by the SEC) a conference game.
