1. Clemson- 344

4. Ohio St.- 297
5. Oklahoma- 282
6. Texas- 264
7. LSU- 261
8. Florida- 239

9. Notre Dame- 238
10. Michigan- 236
11. Oregon- 212
12. Texas A&M- 201

21. Syracuse- 59
22. Missouri- 55
23. Washington St.- 47
24. Nebraska- 35
25. Northwestern- 33

Other SEC:
26. Mississippi St.
33. Kentucky
36. S. Carolina

Just off the top of my head, it looks like there are more big, head-to-head matchups next season compared to most years.... based on these rankings:

#7 LSU at #2 Alabama
#3 Georgia vs. #8 Florida
#5 Oklahoma vs. #6 Texas
#9 Notre Dame at #3 Georgia
#1 Clemson at. #12 Texas A&M
#7 LSU at #6 Texas
#10 Michigan at #4 Ohio St.
#2 Alabama at #12 Texas A&M
#8 Florida at #6 LSU
#12 Texas A&M at #3 Georgia
#12 Texas A&M at #7 LSU
#9 Notre Dame at #10 Michigan

That's 12 total games pitting Top 12 teams against each other next year during the regular season.

They improved throughout the year. They looked pretty terrible when they played us early on despite the shellacking, got better and better midway through the season, and by the end of the year they looked like a damn good team. And yes, beating Michigan helped their cause.

Franks is still a liability but Mullen has largely been able to work around that. I think the biggest question mark for them is how much are they losing to the Draft and can it be replaced.

Auburn and A&M have the two toughest schedules in America.

Auburn plays #2, #3, #7, #8, #11, and #12
TAMU plays #1, #2, #3, #7, and #19

Once again, Bama's schedule is laughable. They play a total of 3 teams in the early Preseason Top 25:

at #12 Texas A&M
#7 LSU
at #19 Auburn

And we all know there is a shot Auburn is not in that Top 25 come the end of November. At some point Bama is going to have to look at playing someone with a pulse outside the SEC West.

We get the majority of these matchups every single season... these teams deserve credit for scheduling tough opponents though.

#9 Notre Dame at #3 Georgia
#1 Clemson at. #12 Texas A&M
#7 LSU at #6 Texas

Texas loses the majority of their starters and comes in at Preseason #6? Media trying to push Texas is back way to hard.

Four of the twelve (33.3%) are not annual match-ups.
