it's absolutely ridiculous we have to play the exact same SEC schedule next year except home and away flips. Lebby was dealt some ****** cards.
Thinking about 2025 State football...

It really is a tragedy. Gonna make it real hard for the casual fans to see any improvement and get support to home games.
The difference in schedule toughness between ours and a team like Mizzou is absolutely crazy
I normally don't feel sorry for people making seven digit salaries, but I might make an exception for Lebby.
I fully expect them to realize how ridiculous it is just in time to blow up what should be a much easier 26 schedule. I'm sure we will go to Athens again.
Better yet, the team up the road. They have played two currently ranked teams this year. One of those is South Carolina.
EXACTLY. Only way we don't get screwed over is if the SEC keeps the 8 game schedule.
I still can't believe they did that. They could've easily just swapped out the 7 rotating opponents.
Also, if the NFL can announce this year's schedule in May, there's no reason why the SEC can't do the same. I suspect Sanky are Co. are okay with 5-6 teams finishing with at least 6 conference wins because of the unbalanced schedule.
The new SEC really should take the NFL model to scheduling where matchups are based on results from the previous season. If you suck, you get a slightly easier schedule. If you are blowing people out, you get a slightly tougher schedule.
Here are the current strength of schedule rankings for SEC teams (CFN rankings I saw online, takes into account remaining schedule I believe)
2) MSU
5) Florida
6) Oklahoma
7) LSU
8) Georgia
9) Kentucky
12) Alabama
14) Texas
15) South Carolina
16) Auburn
21) Vandy
24) aTm
37) Arkansas
46) Mizzou
49) Tennessee
50) Ole Miss
It is absolutely absurd that Tennessee and Ole Miss get to play that schedule 2 years in a row

I been saying this for the last couple years. We ALWAYS get 17ed. On one hand hey it's the SEC. Lot of strong teams. Which is true. But then you look st OM and they have a much easier schedule every damn year
I don’t disagree with your point, but when a coach at least starts winning 4-5 games, then I’ll talk about schedule difficulty. Until then, I don’t really care.
No one’s looking for him to knock off Georgia or Texas or honestly even get to a bowl game next year. I’d just like to be competitive against Toledo or Arkansas as a starting point
