Starting off the season with an SEC opponent is just dumb.....even though it's bottom-feeder nobody Arkansas.
Then they take a bye the 3rd week after playing a brutal San Jose State team. Much needed rest obviously, as they return from their bye fresh and ready for Kansas State & Louisiana Tech....well placed first bye week indeed.
Then they finish off the year with 6 straight games, 5 of which are SEC games. At least they scheduled a cupcake at home the week before the IB. Terrible scheduling imo. Guess they don't have that Birmingham pull like big brother huh?

That's why Jay Jacobs gets paid the big bucks.

It's all because of the bama grad controlling the schedules. I read it here.

.......and we had to have a bye before Kansas St.. That is a Thursday night road game.

How about A&M at USCe i like it gives you time to get back into playoffs later on if you win out, instead of losing late.

Jacobs wanted to schedule a cupcake team for the season opener, but Foley declined.

I would have thought AU would be above playing Thursday night road games.

It wasn't our choice, as its away game.

It was scheduled quite a few years ago. KSU came to our house. This is the payback game and was supposed to be played on a Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium, but KSU pulled a fast one.

That Bill Snyder's a wily one.

We Aggies got it way worse I think.
Opening at USCe >> Opening versus Arky
Bye week before ULM -_-

This isn't his first rodeo. That's for sure.

With the UGA game rotation getting messed up Auburn's schedule is going to be really awkward and alternate between very hard (even years) and very easy (odd years).
It makes a lot more sense to have the UGA/Bama games staggered as home/away each year rather than both the same.

It really sucks for our end of the season, its either Podunk U or bama and Uga.

Understood.
And I wasn't flaming Auburn, I just thought upon first glance it was a poorly constructed schedule......I knew there were probably reasons for this.
Sucks that you have the 2 biggest (rivalry) games of the year right next to each other (14 days apart). At least y'all play Samford the week before Bama. Being able to swap A&M with San Jose State or someone of that nature the week before UGA would've maybe helped a little.

I think they scheduled well. All of fall camp to prepare for Arky. Two weeks to prepare for KSU. Patsy before LSU. Off week before USCe. Patsy and two weeks before Bama.
I wouldn't hate that schedule if I were an AU fan.

Yep, @UGA is going to be brutal after that stretch.
