This is exactly why we don't need to be scheduling P5 teams out of conference. At Bama, at Florida, at Tenn, at Louisville (and at Missouri, but who cares). That's enough road game heft for any schedule, much less a program trying to dig itself out of a generational hole.
For example, next year Alabama plays these road games: at Tenn, at LSU, at Arkansas, at Ole Miss. We get schedules like we're a top ten program and wonder why we can't get over the hump...
