Schedule and bye weeks

[esportsweekly]

We get the shaft with the schedule...

UT gets bye week before us and we have played 7 straight...

Next year, guess what, we play 7 straight before UT and they are #8 with no bye week and guess what, UT gets bye week right before us... Ridiculous

I've expressed concern re how the bye week scheduling sets up for Bama & TN this year. However, from a strategic standpoint, I think I can make a case that it's better for us to have the bye week prior to LSU than to TN. First objective is to get to the SECCG. To to that, we have to go through LSU. In short, setting emotions aside, a win over LSU means more than a win over TN.

'Course, with TN it's impossible (at least for me...) to set emotions aside.

BTW, I don't have next year's schedule in front of me... If the bye week is before LSU, I'm fine with it. If it's before MSU, that's a problem.

When I looked at the schedule a couple of months ago I thought it looked perfect (as far as the bye week is concerned). TN didn't look like a threat & LSU looked much tougher... and I still think they are. Ole Miss & LSU were the only 2 I would've wanted to spend recovery time on back then. But we made it. And the bye week is falling when we need it most I think.

2010 schedule for those that are curious...

Mmm... that kind of looks tough at first glance. We'll be ready for the bye week next year too! I hope Gmac is in the zone after that warm up with San Jose State.

I can't remember the last time that TN did NOT have a bye week before us.
I wouldn't doubt it was 13 of the last 15 years.

This year MissSt has a week off before us and auburn gets 13 days off while we only get six.
