SEC office didn't schedule your OOC game with Michigan. Lets stick with conference talk. Everyone knew Florida would be bad this year, as well as MS State, Vandy would have been considered an easy game back when schedules were made, Kentucky easier game, Arky was bad last year, Aggy coach had just been fired and they lost a shite ton of players to the portal. So yes, whoever made your schedule planned to give you the majority of the worst teams in sec as of last season. If they would have also scheduled you LSU, then I wouldn't be as suspicious.

LSU and apparently the league office considered TEX a tough team being as you were somehow in the playoffs last year. Are you suggesting that Texas is overrated and soft? LSU would beat your arse.

This thread is great but pointless. Who cares!!!
Shut the F up and just let the next few weeks fall out.
I can ABSOLUTELY promise you that Texas doesn't make the CFP.
Arkansas is going to help with that for sure.
Hoping Kentucky wants some but I know this year has been so up and down. Finish strong is my advice.
And we will handle mop up duty.
What most of the SEC veterans do not realize is that Texas is a Big 12 team in mindset!! Sark has recruited very well and has a nice "flash" to the media. Deep down he has a soft team and he is not gonna win long-term as a HC/OC.
Just let it happen. I sure am enjoying it so far. GA was 1st. Arkansas is next!!

Texas is literally the first thing you guys think of when you wake up and the last thing you think about before falling asleep. You should try being their rival like us and stop flinching and buttoning your top button every time they enter the room. From the outside looking in, it's fricking awkward.

The SEC is famous for playing favorites with scheduling, so what's new?

You write this as if "a few years" back is relevant AT ALL.
The schedules were made last year, and EVERY ONE of your SEC games except Georgia (which you were given at home) were against a team expected to finish in the bottom half of the SEC.
You have 4.5 home games and 3.5 road games.
JEEZ! If not for the fact A&M is unexpectedly strong this year, this would be the craziest of crazy soft schedules, especially since Michigan is horrible.

Texas. Moron.
Texas was supposed to be our Georgia but you shite the bed and now you’re crowing about how easy our schedule is.
Well if your team didn’t suck arse maybe our schedule would be harder. When the schedule was made you had beaten Georgia and Bama and were a top 4 team.
And now you’re in the SEC and we see what you really are and now you’re upset you suck.
Well it sucks to suck. You should have beaten Georgia and we would have a tough team left.

I think this sneezy guy leads the Texas obsession, keep crying aggy it won’t help you. My advice is Sac up and try and take care of your weak arse schedule…. That has tradionally been your problem.

Schedule wasn't made a few years back, it was made this year.
It's an easy schedule for a SEC schedule. It is much harder than the schedules Texas has played historically. It is made easier by OU being about as bad as bad gets. The schedule was based on the last 10 years and Texas has not been good the last 10 years.
The difference in Vandy this year is having a competent QB. Vandy has some dudes most years. They can be physical most years. They don't have the depth to compete in the SEC but they generally have as good or better STARTING talent than about 75% of what Texas is accustomed to playing.
Texas is a very good team this season. They are not elite but no one has proven to be yet. Based on what Texas has ALWAYS been they have what amounts toa middle of the pack SEC schedule which is exactly where they would historically be in the SEC....middle of the pack. They are better than they historically have been this season but they have what is an appropriate schedule for them based on history, especially the last 10 years.
None of this is meant to suggest that CFB in general and specifically the SEC is not basically pro wrestling at this point. It's not scripted but there are certainly moves made that the league, especially game officials, thinks is in its best interest. It has always happened, some of the teams which benefit have changed at times due to coaching staffs and rosters but if anyone doubts that the SEC or ANY conference will "steer" the season toward what they think is best for the conference they are deluded or have not followed SEC football very long. Texas and OU are included in the group of 6 original SEC members who the conference will "steer" the season for. We all know who those 6 are, if your team ain't one of them you are most likely fricked.

They made schedules recently lmao. Florida hasn’t been formidable in 3 seasons. Arkansas has had three 10 win seasons since joining the conference 30 years ago and are arguably the worst team in the conference the last decade. A&M has been a middle tier team since joining the conference. Texas schedule is awful.

I didn’t realize SEC fans was this soft. From what I understand coming into this conference…
* every team has NFL talent
* there are no SEC games that are a cakewalk
* every game just means more
Every team in the SEC does, indeed, have NFL talent. This is especially true relative to what Texas is accustomed to which is playing Oklahoma, with loads of NFL talent, and 11 other teams with talent that would struggle to start at a 7A high school in the deep south (South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana).
There are ALWAYS teams in the SEC who would be a cakewalk for good or elite teams IF the good or elite team played 11 games against such teams like Texas has traditionally done its entire history. Even the SEC cakewalks have dudes on the roster and are more physical than what Texas has traditionally played. Playing against that level of competition takes a toll. Texas is now fricking around and finding out....UGA physically assaulted Texas in Austin and the next week Texas struggled against one of the 3 worst teams in the SEC.
Finally every game in the SEC does indeed mean more. UGA is a great example. Very well could be 11-1 on the season and LSU and ATM could very well be 10-2 and would play one another in the SECCG. UGA lost to Alabama who had to score with a minute left in the game AND intercept a pass in their own end zone to win. Its not just every game, every snap means more because the level of competition week in and week out is greater than it is in any other conference.
There is not a day and night difference between the SEC and the rest of CFB. It is subtle. Slightly bigger, slightly faster, slightly more talented and slightly better coached. Spread that slight difference over 6 teams who have won natty's in the modern era plus a couple of teams who have come close and the slight difference becomes a massive difference over a 8 game regular season schedule when you face that slight difference week after week after week.

I don't think many SEC fans doubt this at all. Texas has not traditionally been physical and in fact have even been very good most of the modern era of CFB. That did not changed when they went to weaker conferences, it is highly unlikely to with them finding themselves in the toughest conference in CFB.
