Teams we have never played

[CraigD]

Was ot ga. Southern that inspired saban with his tinhorn observation?

Yep

 

[DzynKingRTR]

That too.

I always thought it would have been hilarious if Buffalo played San Fran and you had former USFL QB Steve Young against former USFL QB Jim Kelly.

Something tells me a bunch of revisionism turning that downtrodden league into "they could have competed with the NFL" would have happened among the pundits.

I am waiting for Bills vs Vikings. The game will probably never end and eventually both will just give up.

Lions and Jacksonville

Lions and Jacksonville

I think he's going with, "Teams That Are 0-4 So ONE HAS To Win"...

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Lions and Jacksonville

Nobody would care about that one.

At least the Vikings and Bills have been before and they are combined 0-8. Mostly blowout losses.

Yeah i can’t think of a worst SB matchup that gets absolutely no one excited than lions and Jags.

Yeah, even a Falcons game would give us, "Wonder if they'll blow it again!"

I know the conversation is FBS, and I know we wouldn’t gain anything from it but I’d selfishly love to see us play North Dakota State.

You know they will.

It would be an intriguing match-up. It would get national attention just for the gimmick of it.

Off the top of my head the most intriguing matchups in the SB

1) TB vs KC II
2) TB vs NE
3) KC vs GB
4) SF vs SD
5) TB vs Ind
6) LA vs LA in LA

 

[81usaf92]

Yeah, even a Falcons game would give us, "Wonder if they'll blow it again!"

The worst

1) Detroit vs Jacksonville
2) Houston vs Dallas
3) KC vs Detroit
4) TB vs Jacksonville
5) LV vs Philly

 

[Crimson1967]

I was surprised to see UAB, South Alabama and Troy. I thought schools from the same state would try to play once at least.

It is university policy not to play any in state schools other than the barn.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Playing Air Force or San Diego State would be nice, Oregon, Iowa maybe.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

We were supposed to play Pittsburgh in the 1982 Sugar Bowl, but ABC wanted Herschel vs Dan Marino. It should have been our turn since we both won the SEC and they'd gone the year before...but they invoked some sort of argument and selected UGA over us. If I'm not mistaken (and I was 12 so I might be), they set that game when it was going to be #1 Pitt vs #2 Georgia...and then Pitt lost a blowout to Penn State.

Some sort of wheeling dealing cost us the shot at Pitt.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

We played Georgia Southern in 2011. They rushed for a billion yards against our great defense. They may not have been "Sun Belt" at the time.

Yeah, I was there for that. We did have people out, still no excuse.

 

[Tideflyer]

Yea and we actually played ULL away one year.

Indeed. Was at that game. My wife is from Lafayette and went to ULL back when it was USL. Was a REALLY big deal with Alabama coming there to play.

H&H w/McGill—of Montreal, not Mobile. International showdown!

Only Zer-O-gon and the Fightin’ Ferentzes *mildly* interest me in appearing on a future ‘Bama schedule

On past ‘Bama schedules, is there any history with the Ivies, or did social factors and bias on both sides prevent it before the Ivy League downgraded to non-scholarship in the early ‘50s?

We beat Penn 9-7 in 1922. They were coached by John Heisman. That is the only game I am aware of.
