If you have one more permanent ACC rival, how does that affect the 9 game conference schedule?



You expect a team like Florida to play a 9 game conference schedule, a permanent game against FSU, AND schedule a quality OOC opponent? And you'd consider that fair compared to them playing a B12 schedule???!

So you are saying the 8 game conference schedule is easier for certain SEC teams?

I would think the ACC opponent would count as the quality OOC opponent.

Florida would replace Idaho with an SEC opponent the week before FSU

No I'm saying that if you schedule quality opponents you don't need to worry about it. Our schedule is tougher than any 9 game B12 schedule. The whole point of scheduling well is to make sure you can make it into the CPF. Other than wanting to play another SEC team more often it doesn't really matter to us one way or another.

IOW, 9 conference games plus 3 weak OOCs is no different than 8 conference games plus 1 quality OOC and 3 weak OOCs.

I woke up today hoping to get advice from Baylor about about title ix and having other teams hoard the conference cash.

And all I get is this shite.

Wtf

8 conference games plus 4 OOC opponents is a way to game the system to avoid GUARANTEED losses. You are proving my point and can’t see it.

Again, not necessarily true. If you have a team like Kansas in the conference, a ninth game is a guaranteed win for everyone else. I'd argue it's the Big XII that has "gamed the system."

Nothing is guaranteed except death and half your conference losing if you all play each other

We don't need advice from rapists and thugs about being winners in life.

Congrats on your 7-6 season. It is nice that you can blame your 6 losses on your 5th, 6th, 7th,8th, and 9th conference game.

Please. Kansas has won 4 conference games in the 8 years since the Big XII began 9 game play.

UGA isn't in Atlanta, by the way.

And Baylor is in Waco. Checks out.

Okay - I’ll bite...

First off - I’m not quite sure why you are on the RANT, let alone on a SEC message board. It’s rather embarrassing, surprising and laughable to say the least. Baylor University is such a POS wannabe Univesrity with a overpriced education and the most delusional fan base I’ve seen. Baylor University is pure trash period the end. They were exposed with all the allegations and should of been put on a much more defiantive and stricter probation. Your fan base is comical, hypocritical and the university is full of cowards. Let’s go ahead and call a spade...a spade here. Remember you asked a question - but of all the questions to ask it was the wrong fricking question to ask and directed in the wrong direction.

Know you role and know your place as far as who you are in which you created your own identity. An identity to win at all cost and go against your fake Babtist values. I personally think you are picking a fight with the wrong group. You should be on Orangebloods ranting about your role and current position. Actually you should be begging and continuing to be on your knees for what’s about to be coming when the next round of conference realignment happens. You definitely should not talking shite to the almighty SEC with most prestigious fanbases college football has to offer. Why are you here is the better question?

You and your alma mater should be directing your false narrative with the school 90 miles South. BU should have a problem with the Crooks in Austin because they were the original whistle blowers from all the RAPE allegations. The same whistles that started being blown after you beat them a few years in a row. Remember to know your role and who you are. TU got uncomfortable with a little competition, felt threatened and turned you in. Remember you are just another body and a place holder for the conference. You can’t sell out your own stadium and never traveled well. You relied on our game every other year to support WACO and threw the biggest bitch fit and showed your true colors when we left the dying Big 12. So the question on the table is WHY NOT have beef with TU or puff your chest out to them for beating an 6-6 11th Place SEC club? Why come here instead of the non-objective Big 12-site? (LOL)

I’ll tell you why...because if you say one unkind word to those pussies and/or get out of line with your maker they will put you in the Mountain West conference. It’s inevitable and long over due you will end up there and/or some other very similar non-power 5 irrelevant conference (essentially where you belong). When the Southwest Conferecne disolved we threw you a lifeline and let you tag along like a welfare check. You now no longer have us and actually bit the hand that fed you for so long. You tried to sue us for leaving. Leaving for a better neighborhood which is another embarrassing act and a whole other story acting like a millennial. You embarressed yourself with that tantrum and ironically enough were exposed for exactly who you were which is no voice of reason or a place at the big boy table.

As far as your original question - it has been answered several times throughout this thread. Please go away and kindly go frick yourself.

SUCKS TO BU
