2027 is honestly one of the toughest schedules I can remember ANY team having. It's the stuff I used to schedule for myself when I played the NCAA football game back in the day.

I don't think Golesh will be ready and I don't think any coach outside of the current top programs would be either.

@Notre Dame easily surpasses Baylor at "home."

Oklahoma and Texas easily surpass 1st year HC Florida, 1st year HC LSU both at home

You are dumb boy

2026 10 toughest games
1. @UGA
2. @Bama
3. LSU
4. @UT
5. @OM
6. UF
7. @MSU
8. Baylor in ATL
9. Vandy
10. Arky

2027 10 toughest games
1. @Notre Dame
2. Georgia
3. Alabama
4. @Texas without Arch
5. A&M
6. @Missouri
7. South Carolina
8. @Kentucky
9. Oklahoma
10. @Vandy

I'd give the edge to 2027 being harder but not by a ton. I think you are just thinking replacing Baylor with @Notre Dame is a massive swing and it is but I think the 2026 conference slate is harder by a smidge.

Also obviously some personal guesstimating in here, like for instance I think Venables sucks and will be fired within the next 13 months

I could care less about even thinking about solutions but

LOL at the SEC 9 game schedule. Then if you are tops you get to go to a championship game.

Middle to lower - tiers of other leagues are not even close to the SEC.

The problem isn't necessarily 5 or 6 real to tough games, but the other 3 or 4 SEC games are not cake walks.

1983 AU had Texas, FSU, Tennessee, UF, UGA, and UA. But the other five were pretty easy with USM, UK, Tech, Miss St. and Maryland.

As bad as LSU is. It's a 11 o clock game at our place.

Agree, if this was peak Auburn that was trading wins with Alabama, LSU, and Georgia I wouldn't be so concerned. Our only gimme conference game is Arkansas this year, and they could beat us if we have a big turnover game.

Maryland had Boomer Esiason in 83. Easily their best team over the past 4 decades.
