This is the first and only time I've been envious of the ACC

They've handled this scheduling business 50 times better than we have, it's pretty frustrating and IMO embarrassing for our league.

-The ACC came out early this week (or was it last week? I can't remember) and said "we're playing 10 league games plus 1". That would allow tech/clemson/FSU/UL to keep their rivalries, plus throw in UNC/AU if they wanted to get funky wiht the location. The SEC came out a day later and was like nah we don't want to play the ACC
-Then a day or so later the ACC released their full schedule! EVery team could see everyone they're playing and whether it's home away. Nothing form the SEC.
-Yesterday the ACC tweeted "hey everyone, tune in tomorrow at 9am for the full schedule with dates". AGain, nothing from the SEC.



It's frustrating enough thinking that the SEC has ONE fricking guy, a bama grad working in b'ham at that, designing all the schedules himself. But it's really the lack of communication. The big 10 and ACC have both put theirs out, can't the SEC at LEAST say "hey we'll let yall know on [date]" I wouldn't even care if it was next week (actually that's a lie) but at least we would know and have some idea of what to expect. These other minor conferences are making decisions, informign the public, and getting things done while we seemingly haven't done a damn thing. It's really frustrating. And even if the SEC schedule drops 2 minutes after I submit this, that doesn't invalidate all the other stuff said above.

Don't let the plus 1 thing fool you...it was about finally getting ND into the conference. They had to call it a +1 OOC game in order to open that door.

If they had said Conf. only, then no ND.

I can hear Kennesaw State's band practicing a mile or so away. It's giving me the feels.

Too early to know that. The sec didn't need the ACC as much as the ACC needs us.

I believe they did it to themselves with the home state requirement of OOC games.
