This is either retardation or they REALLY respect UGAs home field advantage, which they should we have lost there once since 2017.

Last year most considered us having a top 5 top 10 at worst hardest schedule. Now we have the same schedule this year minus Clemson OOC who we brutally crushed, only the three arguable hardest games are at home instead of all being on the road like last year

One is pre season #1, one is #8, and I forget what Ole Miss is ranked pre season I think high teens but imo they’re under ranked. We also go on the road at # 21 Tennessee, and play a neutral site game against #15 Florida. Muh 37 lol

Penn state at # 2 is a laughable joke, they get one VERY lucky playoff seeding and have to beat the mighty SMU and Boise and suddenly they’re ready to be kings of CFB

I listened to an Arky guy on BR radio this afternoon and he mentioned Arkys away SEC games. At Ole Miss, Tenn, LSU and Texas. Brutal. WTF did Arky do to the SEC offices?

Didn't say it was your intent. I was talking about about the differences between them & the definition of "neutral site".

You point would have merit IF Ga. played in the SECCG EVERY YEAR.

Easiest SEC schedule in history - exactly the way Sankey drew it up

HOW are you going to know when somebody’s going to be good or bad?

Miss. & MSU had strong runs not too long ago; Vandy beat Alabama, etc..

Using the previous year's win/loss records of a team's opponents may be the single worst,most meaningless criteria for ranking each team's strength of schedule I've ever seen.

Just using Alabama's schedule as an example and conparing it to #T39 Clemson and #37 SMU's schedule (common opponents are bolded)..

T55) Alabama:

@FSU
Wisconsin
b]@South Carolina[/b]
LSU
@Georgia
@Missouri
Tennessee
Oklahoma
@Auburn

Clemson

LSU
@SMU
Mismi
FSU
@South Carolina

SMU...

Baylor
Miami
@Clemson

Two of the 3 toughest opponents on Clemson's #39 SOS are against çommon opponents (LSU, @USCe) along with SMU

The 3 toughest opponents on SMU's #37 schedule are @Clemson, Miami, and probably Baylor

Alabama's #55 schedule includes @UGA, @USCe, @Missouri, LSU, Tennessee, and Oklahoma

An opponent's previous year win/loss record counts for something but not much. Terrible way to rank SOS
