Resource Block pair

Hi !
I read in the book of E.Dahlman "4G LTEi/LTE-A for Mobile Broadband" that the minimum allocation unit for the scheduler is a Resource Block Pair (two RBs contugous in time domain).
However, I noticed that in the tables of determination of Transport Block Size (TBS ) in 3GPPi specs, the granularity of RBs allocated is only one RB.
So, the scheduler can allocate only one RB ? Or maybe, odd numbers of allocated RBs in tables of determination of TBS are not used ?
In other words, why the granularity of RBs allocated is only one RB (in TBS determination table) while the scheduler can allocate only resource blocks by pair ?
