Not playing Bama would ruin the season almost completely. That game is the essence of college football in the South. I don't care if we take a** whipping after a** whipping from Bama, in no way should that game ever not be on the schedule.
I'm happy as long as we keep bama on the schedule. I still don't understand why the SEC doesn't go to 9 games with the 6-2-1 format. 6 division games, 1 permanent rival and 2 rotating cross divisional games. I do believe this will be the format the SEC goes to when they decide to go to 9 games. I don't think being undefeated will have so much clout with the committee like it did with the BCS, so it really wouldn't affect the chances of the SEC getting multiple teams in the playoff.

I'm looking forward to the days when the SEC West teams look at the schedule and say "oh sh$t, we have to play Tennessee this year." Soon.
I remember going to Neyland in the 90s and kicking LSU azz like 62-21. Them was the days I knew we were going to win just didn't know how much of a azz kicking we were going to give who every we played.:bottom:
