Like how UGA has historically played by far the SEC’s weakest schedule of the Big 6 teams?


My problem was with this statement. Maybe a weaker SEC schedule, but I doubt the easiest overall schedule. GT was a huge power for a long, long time. Clemson, as you pointed out was on our schedule a lot.

Don't get me wrong. Auburn typically plays a tough overall schedule including OOC teams. But those figures provided do not prove we "played by far the SEC’s weakest schedule of the Big 6 teams?" I mean it isn't by far the easiest of all. We are not that far behind Tennessee, when you consider it is over an 86 year period.

But it is the easiest.

All-time games played against Final AP ranked teams:
Florida- 314
Alabama- 311
LSU- 307
Auburn- 301
Tennessee- 295
Georgia- 283

Total games played against Final AP ranked SEC teams:
Auburn- 207
Alabama- 192
Florida- 192
LSU- 190
Tennessee- 179
Georgia- 167

Georgia has had the easiest historical SOS among the big 6 anyway you slice it. You can’t argue with facts.
