Best thing about this all SEC schedule?

There's not a game on the schedule that doesn't interest me. Yeah some might say "Arkansas" or "Vanderbilt" are bad or down or whatever. But Georgia and Texas A&M are both thankful to have wins after tough fights from those teams. Florida had to fight hard to beat Ole Miss. LSU thought we were a rent a win and we showed them we are a SEC program.
The point is since its an all SEC schedule, everyone has athletes and can win. Almost like the minor league NFL here now. Hell half these teams have better OLs than the Bengals
And I can tell you one thing is for sure. It's going to be hard to go back to schedules that include Alabama A&M, New Mexico State, Mercer. Cause this is fun.
I don't see a gimmee. Everyones gonna be tough and we got everyones attention now so we can't go out with any less energy than we did vs LSU. Or Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky or Vanderbilt can beat us by double digits. I'm super excited to watch State vs Arkansas and everyone else! Hail State

Yeah I think it sucks. Wanted to give FSU a good beating this season.

10-0 this year is more impressive than 12-0 most years. Because most teams have at least 2 gimme OOC games if not three. Add in those games are usually positioned at the open of the season to work out kinks(which some teams needed this year) and mid year to use as an easy game to heal certain players and work in stuff for the next big game.
Now you gotta grind it out. No SEC is so bad that you have a sure win no matter what happens.

I really think everyone will have at least one slip up this year some where down the road with this crazy year and being all SEC game schedule

Arkansas has more talent on its roster than any team in the Big 10 west, yet probably won't win more than a game or 2 at best. The problem is, the league has gotten too good.
There's only so many wins you can achieve by playing so many conference games. Teams like Vandy, Arkansas, Mizzou, Kentucky (most years), and historically Miss State, Ole Miss, and S. Carolina desperately need the OOC games to even make a bowl or rack up wins... If the SEC goes to 10 permanently, it hurts the conference more than it helps it.
It's great for the fans, but it ups the chances of being shut out of the CFB Playoff, which is the ultimate goal of the league.
It also has the potential to hurt your league's overall revenue. If you have a bunch of 7-5 or 8-4 teams, they're not going to any of the big time bowl games that pay out the most. Remember, those bowl revenues all go into one pile and then it's split among the schools.
It also makes it where the bad teams can't really build any momentum to recruit off of...
Now, I know the league office has to protect Alabama and give them all the breaks to keep them at the top of the conference, but having a league where teams can't climb the ladder at all is not a good thing.
Spurrier always used to say, "in the NFL, the worst team gets the forts crack at the best talent every year. In college the best teams always get the best recruits."
Thats true and that probably frustrated him to no end, but an all conference game schedule does nothing but separate your league from the others.. And not in a good way.
A good solution would be to have cross conference schedules every year to make it all more equitable across the CFB landscape.
Do like the NFL does every year. Have like 6 SEC games, then play 6 other games with omother conferences and divisions. One year, a schools could play all of the sec west, then maybe have to play the Pac 12 south as well.
