I would like to see the SEC move to 9 conference games & TWO P5 OOC games required

the ONLY good thing about the 2020 schedule was the all SEC bit

THIS was the UGA schedule from 1965 - ZERO cupcake games with a 10 game schedule:

Alabama
Vandy
Michigan
Clemson
Florida State
Kentucky
North Carolina
Florida
Auburn
GA Tech

A lot of SEC schools played similar schedules back in the 60's and 70's. Here's Bama's schedule in 1978:

#10 Nebraska
at #11 Missouri
#7 USC
Vanderbilt
at Washington
Florida
at Tennessee
Virginia Tech
Mississippi State
#10 LSU
Auburn
#1 Penn State (Sugar Bowl)

4 of their first 5 games were against OOC major conference teams (2 Big 8 & 2 PAC-10). The worst team on their schedule was Virginia Tech (they weren't in a major conference at that time). With the bowl game, Bama played three blue bloods that season...

I would love to see 'em go back to schedules like that but don't see it happening...

Alabama is scheduling 2 OOC opp in 2025 and going forward....when Saban retires

Georgia has been doing it now since they no one really counts Ga tech.

Don't forget that back in 1965, FSU was a cupcake. Some of those well known teams on the schedule now were not that good.

Only three of those teams were ranked in 65. #4Alabama, #18Kentucky, #12Florida.

This year we played #1, #2, #11 all on the road. With three other teams ranked when we played them: Texas, Ag, State.

Miss me wid it
