I had someone bring up how many times Bama is playing in ATL this past weekend. It reminded me ...
How many of you guys remember Spurrier complaining about the game being in Birminham and his characterization it was "nothing more than another home game for Bama?"
Since 2008 Bama has played 21 games on neutral sites (by my count.) Off the top of my head I can think of nine of those 21 games that were played in ATL (math makes that greater than two years worth of home games.)
Now, over the next year and a half we're looking at ... 1) Saturday, 2) Playoff, 3) FSU to open next season, 4) SECCG - '17, 5) NC for '17-'18.
Now, I know that's taking in a lot of assumptions on wins and losses ... but going back to the point of SOS.
That'll make 14 of 26 neutral site games being held in ATL ... over 50%.
