Have a look at:

https://collegefootballnews.com/rankings/sec-football-schedule-rankings-2023

1. Alabama
2. Florida
3. Vandy
4. Mizzou
5. LSU
6. USCe
7. State
8. Ole Miss
9. A&M
10. Auburn
11. UK
12. UT
13. UGA
14. Arky

Things of note:

Bama won't play us unless they make it to Atlanta. Otherwise, they have set themselves up to have a 1978 Bama or 2019 LSU schedule. Going to be tough sledding for Bama but no one feels sorry for them.

Still think Florida is ranked too high in this list. Seems they should be about #6 or #7 but that's just me.

Vandy has some mildly interesting OOC matchups but otherwise, their schedule is nothing noteworthy. Same for Mizzou.

LSU gets to play an improved FSU team who has improved a ton over the last 2 seasons.

State's OOC schedule is very weak as usual. Same for Ole Miss. Same for Tennessee.

A&M does have it made. If they win the west, it will be because of this and getting some lucky breaks. Same for Auburn (except they do play both Bama and Georgia but ... at home).

Tbh, we should be ranked last here. Arkansas at least has to play LSU and Bama. On the road.

A somewhat fair assessment from this site but off for some teams.

LSU vs FSU has gone from clowns playing a year ago to a CFB playoff game this year. Getting more nervous each day.

Not the worst in the SEC by far but do you really have it made if you play Bama, and both Tenner and LSU on the road?

I think our overall schedule is pretty damn close to LSU SOS. Yes, LSU has FSU. They have Florida and Mizzo but so what? We have to travel to Miami and Tenner.

I get Miami might not be good or may be just mediocre but I would rather play FSU, Florida, or Mizzo than Tenner at Tenner.

SEC Teams Missed: Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M


So playing Vandy in Nashville, Georgia in Athens, State in Starkville, Cocks in Columbia, and Tards in LoserVille is easy? Gators, Tigers, Vols, and Tide all come to Commonwealth.

No way Arky is behind UGA this year for sake of a West schedule alone

Basically if you play in the East your schedule is nothing compared to the West.

We are the only team in the SEC that plays Alabama, Georgia, and LSU. We also have to play Arkansas and A&M. Don't laugh about Tulane. They went to an NY6 game last season and won.

Ole Miss has the hardest schedule in the nation.

Outside of FSU, LSU’s schedule is littered with cupcakes between difficult tests. It sets up very nicely

It doesn't set up too bad for Bama, most of the tough games are at home. the Iron bowl being away is always tricky. But Texas, LSU, Tenn all home for them isn't bad.

Anyone claiming Arky has the easiest schedule is just dumb.

Three seasons in a row for cupcake Georgia schedule. When does it end? Ruining college football with your cupcakes

Our schedule actually isn't too bad in terms of opponents for once, but it's how it is structured that makes it tough as shite. If we didn't have to play an entire month straight on the road against literally the top 4 opponents on our schedule I'd be over the moon with it.
