Oklahoma joining the conference fricked us over since we had them slated 5 years out as an OOC game this season. Thats why we have started the season with 2 high school teams OOC
I do agree we ended up with one of the easiest conference schedules in the SEC this season, but that is largely because when they broke down each teams 3 yearly permanent opponents we got Auburn and Florida, who are both breaking in 1st year coaches and may or may not end up being solid 8ish win teams this year. South Carolina our other yearly opponent could end up being a harder game than its expected to be.
We still have to play Alabama and Ole Miss on the road so it isnt like our schedule is a total joke it is ranked 18th hardest SOS in the country it just happens to be one of the lowest ranked of any SEC team.
We are also scheduling a home and home with Oregon for future OOC games. They look like they suck this year but they will very likely have their shite together by time we play them

What is a Texas A&M?
I think I remember beating them in a bowl game not too too long ago.
Fwiw, kentucky has only played them once since the aggies joined the conference. This scheduling "glitch" is not an isolated incident since they joined the league.

Because there is a new sheriff in town. Alabama doesn’t run things anymore.

Because we are obviously more afraid of Texas A&M than we are of Alabama. Duh.

doesn't matter...they will lose in quarterfinals again...although they. may have a better chance since Sugar Bowl is a semifinal game.
Maybe y’all can make it to the SEC Championship more than once every five or six years, I would love to play LSU again. Your starting quarterback has thrown as many interceptions as ours has incompletions.

A&M is not a difficult game for any halfway decent team.
Respectfully, I don’t think the data indicates your conclusion. A&M lost last year to the national champion runner up and this years currently number one team. Those were their only losses.
Elko is 21-7 at A&M in his tenure and they have a PFF grade that is legit. His defenses have been rated top in the league for two seasons now in many categories and they have an offense that can hurt you if you sleep on them.
I get that they need more legitimate games to prove themselves. But I don’t think their losses are bad losses at any stretch. They held the national championship runner up to one score last year. And granted they lost to Texas, but admittedly Texas the number one team in the nation now.
So just looking at data. As a data guy. No bias here. I’m not sure it agrees with your premise.

I like data.
A&M beat 1 ranked team in the final AP top 25 in 2025.
That schedule is soooo hard.

It’s not possible to prove a negative.
We still don’t know what A&M can do. Last years games they should have won, they won. Stating we don’t know they’re good because they haven’t played anyone is true. But it doesn’t mean we are certain they can’t win harder games. That’s still unproven.
We will see soon enough.

One thing is certain, when we do make it we absolutely bitch slap Georgia when they are there. But I digress…….

I thought this thread was about schedule strength.
What isn't possible about looking at A&Ms 2025 schedule strength?

WHO DOESN'T get a "favorable schedule" sooner or later?
& think about it: if you miss the top teams THIS year, NEXT year...

I always found it amusing how that, somehow, always seemed to be Georgia 's fault.

The SEC has always given favorable schedules to the contenders.
