Funny, since 2011 these three teams could say the same about letting Bama play LSU every year.

So how have the SEC managed to let them play those 3 teams 6 times in 7 years but UGA once in 12 years?

I mean don't get butthurt so easy. Kentucky is good last year or two but has been mediocre for awhile.

When Aggie scheduled Clemson, they were not all that good. They scheduled them expecting an auto W. Oops!

That’s not butthurt. That’s someone mocking the idea that fans of a team that hasn’t beaten Bama in 8 straight attempts are whining about Bama’s soft cross-division schedule.

Because LSU is on the same level as Vandy, Kentucky, and Missouri...

You are aware of who you are right?

please tell me you don’t actually believe that your beloved Kentucky is anywhere near LSU.

Congratulations Texas A&M and South Carolina
The only two teams in the country to play Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson. Impressive

I think most preseason SOS rankings have both teams 1&2 with regard to toughest schedules this season for precisely that reason.

There is some debate about who is 1 and who is 2 though.

The argument in A&M’s favor is having to face both LSU and MSU ... but they also have Arkansas, Ole Miss, Lamar and UTSU and Texas State as their weaker opponents.

SC and A&M also play one another of course.

SC has Vandy and Charleston Southern as their weakest teams but also UNC and App State, neither are gimmes. Also Florida and Mizzou which are LSU’s and MSU’s equals on the SOS meter for the time being. Some might argue that Vandy trumps Arkansas this year but I dunno about that so let’s call it equal.

In the overall scheme of things the two schedules are pretty close to equal but most SOS polls have SC’s slightly tougher because of the OoC thingy.

So let’s look at home and away comparisons.

A&M plays at Clemson while Clemson comes to The Cock Pit.

Both teams play UGA in Athens and both teams have Bama at home.

A&M has Auburn at home, SC has to go to Tennessee.

SC has Florida at home, A&M has MSU at home.

How these two schedules shake out by the end of the season is going to be very interesting to witness.

The deciding factor may be that SC has to travel to A&M. Ironic.

BTW, Auburn’s schedule is certainly no cake walk.

What makes me wonder...... is if nobody from the SEC West can seem to beat them, and the SEC East's best teams can't ever beat them in the CCG, does it really matter?

1. We are a preseason #3 team in the country.
2. We were one of the few teams to beat Florida last year. I hope that helps you.

They have only two tough games on paper this year ( Bama I'm speaking of)

A&M and LSU and have a bye before both so it makes me wonder too.

We're 3-3 against Alabama last 6 times we've played them, and 5-7 against UGA. We'll be ready.....

I don't think it's their fault that they only get challenged twice in their division. Since when has ATM been a "tough game" for them? The past scores don't reflect that.

Who would you like to see them schedule in that could do any better?

Haven't they recently inked some actual home and away games with better opponents?
