It's a joke that the NCAA allows for this kind of scheduling in the SEC at that point of the season.

Their entire schedule this season is garbage. LSU and Miss St are the best teams they will play in the regular season. LSU is the only one with any chance at all to win, and even then it is slim. Auburn is not playing well, Texas A&M and Ole Miss are both ok but not good enough to beat Alabama, Louisville sucks without Lamar Jackson, and Tennessee is mediocre this year. It really is a joke at this point that Alabama plays the schedule they do every year.

I'm not saying they'd lose, but I would love to see Alabama go to Columbus, Ann Arbor, or State College late in the season, in the cold and snow, and play an out of conference game at a big ten stadium.

I'm guessing that the two previous opinions would not be the same if they lived in the Southeast...and I would probably agree with them if I didn't.

Alabama doesn't have to anywhere they don't want to go. My guess is that no other school, like the ones you mentioned, will schedule a home and away game to face the Tide as Alabama likely wins both games and split at worst.

Lou- insert the word 'go' in your sentence between 'to' and 'anywhere'...for clarity.

And the reason they schedule such series is $$$$$!! Most likely the largest influx of revenue they will experience the entire calendar year.

Sorry for the oversight and poor grammar / sentence structure. English never was my strong suit!

I will not disagree with you about the $$$$ and the revenue a series with Michigan or Ohio State can generate. Frankly, I don't believe that Michigan or Ohio State wants any part of a series with Alabama. However, I am not in that fold and I could easily be wrong.

In terms of games, Alabama's largest revenue source comes from playing in the National Championship game. This would be true for any other school that plays in the National Championship game, especially if they win.
