1. Ohio State at Oregon, Sept. 12
2. Alabama at LSU, Nov. 7
A rare revenge game for Alabama, this time against the defending national champs in Baton Rouge.
3. Florida vs. Georgia, Oct. 31 (Jacksonville, Fla.)
The Bulldogs have ruled the SEC East the last few years, but Florida is closing the gap and ready to make their push back to the top of the division. SEC and playoff implications are likely on the line.
4. Georgia at Alabama, Sept. 19
Speaking of Georgia and Alabama, they’ll actually play in the regular season in mid-September. It could be an early preview of the SEC Championship Game as Nick Saban looks to remain perfect against former assistants (Kirby Smart).
5. Texas at LSU, Sept. 12
Sam Ehlinger and the Longhorns couldn’t keep up the pace against the Tigers last season. Can Texas score a major victory on the road in the second part of this home-and-home series?
6. Ohio State at Penn State, Oct. 24
7. LSU at Florida, Oct. 10
LSU heads to The Swamp as Dan Mullen and the Gators look to take a bite out of the defending SEC and national champs.
8. Auburn at Georgia, Oct. 10
Georgia and Auburn have had some great games over the years, and Bo Nix and the Tigers hope to score a big road victory to help remain a contender.
9. Alabama vs. USC, Sept. 5 (Arlington, Texas)
Alabama looks to set the tone for a national championship run in its season opener in Arlington. USC QB Kedon Slovis hopes to stand in the Tide’s way.
10. Clemson at Notre Dame, Nov. 7
11. Michigan at Ohio State, Nov. 28
12. Auburn at Alabama, Nov. 28
The Iron Bowl could be the game that decides the SEC West champion, with the winner moving on to Atlanta for a shot at the SEC title.
13. Penn State at Michigan
14. Michigan at Washington, Sept. 5
15. Minnesota at Wisconsin (Oct. 10)
16. USC at Oregon, Nov. 7
17. Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame, Oct. 3 (Green Bay, Wis.)
18. USC at Utah, Oct. 2

Why would anyone be looking forward to Alabama v USC? That game will be over in the first quarter.

By God, they’re gonna find a way to squeeze Nebraska into a preseason top 25 one way or another.

No Tennessee at Oklahoma? That's more executing than this entire list.

I'm glad you didn't say a nickel. Its time to adjust that quote for inflation.

LSU at Auburn should be somewhere on that list
Posted on 1/29/20 at 8:59 pm to tylerdurden24
We did close the gap...last year was significantly better overall including vs Georgia, and we should be even better next year. So yes. As everyone but your delusional fan base can see, the gap is small

I kind of agree with you. But TBH Mullen only has one really good win the last 2 years (LSU). He has some "good" wins over 3 or 4 loss teams (Auburn, Michigan), but I want to see more.

Who on God's green earth made this list? They clearly tried to just find 25 games
NO LSU @ Auburn which is arguably the best series in CFB for the past 15 years
And how the F did Michigan @ Washington even make ANYONE's list?? I love CFB everywhere and wouldn't turn on hapless Wash vs hapless Michigan!
NO EGG BOWL?

Oregon loses their biggest weapon at QB and that’s the top matchup?

Nobody gives a frick about Oklahoma. You win the pretty boy Big XII and the commence to get humiliated by an SEC school every year.
They won’t allow you back to the playoffs for a long time. You shite the bed every time you get there and just humiliate the playoff committee for actually listing you as a top team. There is no doubt that Florida, Georgia, Auburn or even Alabama would have put up a fight at least and not been prison raped on live TV. That’s nothing new though, you always lose the big game just like in January 2004 when LSU crushed you then too.
No more Oklahoma love by the press. They have FINALLY learned their lesson.

3 of top 7 involve marquee value LSU. No surprise. Carrying the SEC per usual.

Cinci at UCF isn’t in the top 100.
