Title: SEC schedule release makes Alabama the favorite for 2013 (LA Times) Post by: pmull on October 19, 2012, 08:52:31 AM Quote I'm not sure today who is going to win this year's national title but go ahead and put Alabama down for winning it next year. The release of the Southeastern Conference's 2013 schedule Thursday instantly makes the Crimson Tide next year's lock-down favorite. Crimson Tide fans, book your vacation plans to sunny California. Quote In fact, the toughest game on Alabama's 2013 SEC schedule might be against a former Big 12 conference also-ran. The Crimson Tide opens at Texas A&M, where quarterback Johnny Manziel, aka "Johnny Football," might pose some problems. After that? Alabama gets Arkansas, Tennessee and Louisiana State at home and misses East powers Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Alabama closes the regular season at Mississippi State (small sweat) and then at Auburn (no sweat). There were other 2013 schedules revealed Thursday, but it was basically over when the league arranged its release in alphabetical order, starting with ALA. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-sec-alabama-20121018,0,5928174.story Title: Re: SEC schedule release makes Alabama the favorite for 2013 (LA Times) Post by: Catch Prothro on October 19, 2012, 09:43:12 AM Quote All told, though, Nick Saban himself could not have drawn up a better path to glory. After Thursday's news, why would he be dumb enough to even consider the Cleveland Browns?

It's the weak schedule that consistently makes us champions. :eyeroll:
Seriously though, I get his point. I thought it was a pretty good schedule for us when I saw it yesterday. |
