Texas A/M, Florida State (last year), Miss State, LSU, and Auburn (just to name a few).

Your argument is bullshit.

Not sure I’d call Miss State historically tough.

Agree with the rest though.

Alabama has done a good job of scheduling

at least one top OOC opponent each year to go with their SEC games.

But I will admit that they are smart about how they put a given year's schedule together in terms of tough OOC game at a neutral site as a season opener and then having off weeks and easy opponents before tough SEC games.

I think the SEC schedules when the byes will be. Alabama and LSU were both off the week before their meeting last year and I don't think that's been unusual this decade.
