You are a smart guy. You nailed the truth!!! Auburn and LSU may have their moments as SEC competetors but no one can replace the bammers as the school we love to hate.
Don't worry a team like Bama will seed it's self out. LSU will be AU #1 rival only b/c Bama sucks and LSU is a good team.
Bama remains in a sanction-weakened state, but they should never be taken lightly. ...and BTW, I seriously doubt that you'll find more than a few Bama fans that aren't pleased with a weak schedule right now. They're thirsty for wins, at any cost.

I've been dealing with people bitching about this schedule for years now. No doubt, it's down with OOC...but a lot of fans aren't "pleased" with it, by no means.
Hawaii and 'Zona are on about the same level I'd think... USL is a bit better than ULM, though not by much... Fresno is head and shoulders above both Duke and Florida Int, but we play Tulane. Biggest difference is that we play Fresno St and Bama plays Hawaii as the biggest OOC games. You're right, not much difference... o: Burn BR!!!
