Alabama has cancelled its home-and-home series with Michigan State “due to uncertainty with the SEC schedule.”
Smells like nine-game conference scheduling to me.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
I think so, along with a league directive to play no less than 10 quality opponents per year.

So who do we add as our tenth? Because won’t cut it in that case.

Unless 9 game SEC scheduling happens, I’m likely to see Bama only once more in Sanford Stadium, if the actuarial tables are correct. That’s not right. The selection committee is going to take care of the quality opponent question; the SEC can get there quick by just scheduling one more conference game.

I surely do hope you are right. Two directional cosmetology schools per season are plenty.

One directional school a year is a plenty. If I were king (and the faint-hearted are going to be glad I’m not):
9 SEC games (9)
NATS (10)
Clemson for a 2 yr home/home, then another quality opponent from another conference for a 2 yr home/home, then Clemson…(11)
little sister of the poor (12)
Impress the selection committee, keep butts in the stadium, and if you’re man enough to handle this sked, you’re man enough to compete for a Natty.

That would work up until we lose two games one season and everyone freaks out and we fire all the coaches.

I think this is related to the playoff. Not having to have a near perfect record makes the ninth game more tolerable.

I hope we get to keep playing Auburn.
