Arkansas, LSU, Mizzou and Auburn fans seem to be really happy with their schedules.

Alabama is happy they get the bottom feeders of the East because that's what has made Georgia so great.

Georgia fans are happy because it's a lot of great games, though some complain that they made it too easy for other teams in the elite tier.

Some A&M fans are upset that Texas got to host UGA before they did. Others looked on the bright side and said it would be better to play them on a neutral field in Atlanta. Most like their schedule but felt the Longhorns got off with a lighter one.

South Carolina fans no longer consider Georgia a rival and are okay that the Georgia game is not on the schedule.

Some Auburn fans are hopeful that Georgia will be dropped from their future schedules as an annual opponent.

Alabama fans don't consider a team they've played for over three decades annually, played the Game of the Century against, has been arguably the biggest thorn in their side since Saban has rejoined the conference, has almost always been CBS' primetime matchup, and was the previous school of the GOAT before he left the conference, a rival.

Some Tennessee fans are hopeful Alabama or Georgia will be dropped from their future schedule and would be okay if both get a break from having to play Tennessee.

Some Florida fans are worried their coach won't make it through 2025 with addition of Texas and OU.

A couple of Kentucky fans who evidently follow basketball more closely than football noticed that we must be doing away with divisions next season.


Hail State fans are happy Bama and LSU are off their schedule for a year, but also wonder how LSU ended up with an easier schedule.

Alabama, UGA, MSU, Tennessee, and Florida should be on our schedule every year.

SEC has gotten too big to preserve anything I guess.

I have always thought the LSU vs Auburn annual matchup was one of the best SEC games on the schedule. Especially when both teams are ranked or undefeated heading into the matchup.

Its lost a little fire the last few years but it was HUGE in the early 2000’s & was one of the biggest SEC games with the winner likely headed to the SEC-CG in ATL.

Not at all. We're upset about losing LSU and the SEC's refusal to give us Florida and Tennessee again. Nobody is considering the UGA game at risk of losing.

Still not a rival. Will never be a Tennessee or Auburn. Ever.

I remember the Auburn rivalry. And a pod of Auburn, Bama, Vandy, Tennessee fixed most of this.

Georgia was the only real SEC rival on South Carolina’s schedule. Time to build some new ones I guess.

bullshite. No Auburn fans are saying that.

As a matter of fact, the conversation has been to let us do back to back trips to Athens soon to get even for UGA's back to back trips to AU during the last expansion so we don't have such a suck home schedule every other year.

Actually I hate that UGA is not on the schedule. I thought we would get at least one of UGA, Tenn. or Florida. Not having any of them sucks but otherwise we got a good schedule. And hopefully it's only one year without any of those three.

It sure must be nice to be a fan of the team on top. You can play internet provocateur with your not so well thought out opinions.

No one's scared of your team or a proposed schedule that includes anyone.

I mean I'm certainly not complaining about UK and Vandy on the schedule, but I don't get having LSU there at all instead of UGA, UT, or UF. They love giving us LSU any time there's a schedule change. Or Auburn.

Yes, they have.

One by the name of King Ward said it pretty straight forward in a response to someone complaining about the new schedule and Georgia not being on it.

"Why? You didn't consider them rivals, did you? They don't view us that way. We have no natural rivals in the SEC. There's only one way we ever will have such a rival. Most of y'all don't want what it would take."

I guess he wants Clemson to join.

Bama and LSU are clearly rivals.

I don't believe this for a second. Auburn got the shaft with their schedule. They get to play South Carolina, Kentucky, and Missouri, with whom they have little history with, rather than traditional rivals Florida, Tennessee, and LSU. It's a damn shame.

I don't believe any Tennessee fans want Bama off of their schedule.

Now this might be true.
