1. They used record from the last 4 years, not all time.

2. There was never an attempt to go easy on low performers and hard on high performers. That would be the definition of an imbalanced schedule. The point was to preserve rivalries while attempting to give each team a fairly equivalent schedule.

You are just plain wrong here.

If we are basing this on who got the easiest permanent 3, I would assume the LSU Tigers are the most powerful lobbyists in the SEC.

Also have any of you conspiracy psychos ever actually attended a REC meeting or met someone in it? Let me assure you these are not power players.

They're not permanent, at least according to the show last night. All schedules will be reviewed including the "permanent" schedules. All will be open to alterations every 4 years as teams change momentum. Will be based on achieving strength balance.

That's giving a lot of credit to A&M and Arkansas (Mizzou has a close series with A&M and a big advantage against Arkansas) for OU doing this to us:

OU: 25-67-5


OU is historically Mizzou's football daddy (along with Nebraska). They pretty consistently beat the brakes off the Tigers during the Big Eight/Big 12 era starting in the 70s. Mizzou was a rent-a-win opponent from about 1970 until Gary Pinkel started to turn things around in the late-2000s. Mizzou today resembles that program from the 80s and 90s in absolutely zero ways. There is more talent on our roster this season than was on our all-decades teams for the 80s and 90s combined.

And if we're just counting SEC games, then it's good for Mizzou:

Oklahoma: 1-0
Texas A&M: 2-3
Arkansas: 9-2

70.6%
