The Official SEC thread

I'm saying the "ITS A GAUNTLET" every year shit the SEC tries to push is bullshit, of course there are times where the SEC is clearly better but it's hilarious to basically claim that all of the SEC faces a immovable brick wall of a schedule every year. They are basically playing the "losses should matter less in the SEC!" card.

Bama got "left out" because they lost 3 games with 2 being to 7-6 and 6-7 teams. At SOME POINT losses have to matter.
it is a gauntlet.. except when it comes to Texas.. then it's cupcakes.. you know the ones that Bama choked on (Vandy/ou) or Ole Miss (Kentucky/UF) or even CFP qualifier TN (arkansas)...

lol see.. here i thought.. SEC schedule was the SEC schedule..

ppl said Texas was soft.. but it looks like we are the ones who aren't.. we played at Ann Arbor and are playing at Columbus.. you literally played clemson at a neutral site last year.. this year.. you got marshall, austin peay, charlotte then a showdown vs GaTech..

miss me with all the shit schedule talk.. when y'all had the audacity to schedule that shit..
You should just accept it as it is and say, yeah, we got a break. Otherwise, you are defending the indefensible. And, no, SEC schedules are unbalanced and you know it. You just don't want to admit it.

In 2024 you played, and will play the same group again in 2025:

7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 ranked SEC teams.

MSU - 16
OU - 13
Vandy - 12
UF - 10
Arky - 11
Ky - 15
ATM - 7

The only decent team you played was No. 1 UGA, which you lost to twice, at home and in the SECCG.

You didn't have to play:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9. Why do you argue something that is so easily proved?

As for our OOC, we were supposed to be @UCLA this year, but they canceled the game about 11 months ago. We were not able to get a decent opponent. That said, we do play @GaTech, who is projected to finish 5th in the ACC.

Here's our OOC from 2002 - 2034 - you want to talk shit schedules, let's see your OOC schedule. I swear, you guys who attack our OOC always lose the argument ... UGA has no problem playing OOC. Look at what we had or have lined up:

3 P4 OOC in a season:
2026 - @Louisville, UCLA, GaTech
2027 - @FSU, Louisville, @GaTech
2030 - Clemson, tOSU, GaTech
2033 - @Clemson, NCState, @GaTech

Here's the whole list:
2002 - Clemson
2003 - @Clemson
2005 - Boise St.
2006 - Colorado
2007 - Oklahoma St.
2008 - @Arizona St.
2009 - Arizona St., @Oklahoma St.
2010 - @Colorado
2011 - Boise St. (Atl)
2013 - @Clemson
2014 - Clemson
2016 - North Carolina (Atl)
2017 - @Notre Dame
2019 - Notre Dame
2020 - UVa (Atl)
2021 - Clemson (Charlotte)
2022 - Oregon (Atl)
2024 - Clemson (Atl)
2025 - @UCLA
2026 - @Louisville, UCLA
2027 - @FSU, Louisville
2028 - FSU
2029 - @Clemson
2030 - Clemson, tOSU
2031 - @tOSU
2032 - Clemson
2033 - @Clemson, NCState
2034 - @NCState

You guys are still playing the transitive property argument. LOL.

Face it, you played 1, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, losing to 1.

Wait a minute. Sankey seems to be implying that even the 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16 teams in the SEC are war mongers and still a murderer's row schedule...no matter the OOC!

But your example is by far the best one showing unbalanced scheduling.
 
Speaking of, Looks like Missouri got another weak ass SEC schedule in 2025 as well, they legit might limp dick into the playoffs. They play Bama and South Carolina (BOTH at home) and that's about it, even then who knows how good Bama and South Carolina will actually be.
Missouri is weird with 6 1 possession wins. Even their loss to SC was close. so i dont really know are they good or not
 
Illinois will be this years Indiana in the B1G. Though IMO they are better than Indiana was last year. Their schedule is complete dookie though

No big OOC test (Western Illinois, Duke & Western Michigan)

They play Ohio State but skip Oregon & Penn State, they also miss projected better mid tier teams (Iowa & Nebraska)

USC is a wildcard but that game is @ Illinois.
i mean Duke was 9-4. which is better than Iowa or Nebraska and USC.
 
So there would be 2 at-larges if ND gets one.

I just don't see the SEC limiting itself. But, there may be 3 against 1 for the AQs once the ACC and B12 get their panties untwisted and realize its in their best interest to get 2 AQs, with 2-3 more at-larges.
and last year it would have been ND, Miami and Ole Miss
we only have the 1 year to go on but
in 23 if we go on new conf structure SEC would have got 2
in 22 SEC wouldnt have got any at large and their 4th team was LSU at 17
the prior years are tricky though because Oregon state would have got in in 22 but would they get the same ranking now? prob not
