Yes we did, and luck had nothing to do with it. If you want a fair schedule, you flip them in year two and Georgia gets Texas' schedule. If you want an unfair schedule, you repeat the unbalanced schedules from year one.

NIL and transfer portal changed everything. The consensus was in the beginning that the rich would get richer and there would be the haves and have nots. The opposite has happened. I am very concerned that the Michigans of the world w their billionaire donors and 200 mil Collective will become more dominant.

Scheduling is always done on at least a 2-year basis. Yes, Texas got lucky. No, it isn't a conspiracy.

The SEC has never that I can recall given every team the same schedule two years in a row. This isn't even supposed to be the final scheduling format for the league, just an interim two season period while they mull over what comes next. And they made no attempt to balance these schedules, just the opposite.
Evidence of corruption is not a conspiracy theory. Weak minds like that phrase because they don't have to support their argument.

Theirs not gonna be anymore undefeated teams like that in the SEC IMO. With the transfer portal and NIL that’s evened the playing field so to speak.

This has always happened. You play the schedule one year and then flip the home and away teams the next year. Only in unique circumstances, like the COVID year, has the SEC not done this.

Completely false. Why make things up? The only reason it was even close to being true was because we had divisions and teams played one permanent crossover. But even then, the non-permanent crossover games were never the same for every team two years in a row. Now the divisions are gone, which means no rationale exists for the exact same opponents in this temporary two year block.
Even just looking a UGA's schedule since 2016, here's our non-permanent opponents.
2016 - Ole Miss
2017 - Miss St
2018 - LSU
2019 - TAMU
2021 - Arkansas
2022 - Miss. St
2023 - Ole Miss
Now do that for every team in the conference, every year. These two year repeats are in your imagination.
