Go back a few seasons where Cowbell, aggy, pig and BloU don't suck arse and suddenly that schedule doesn't seem soft at all.

Is it our fault those teams can't stay ranked and/or ranked highly?

Good luck on tRant. We're about to have 15 rearview mirrors yelling at the clouds while we dominate the here and now.

Every Texas poster hates you. How old are you and where did you go to college?

You’re a master troll

Because it's an easy schedule, outside UGA.

The board views FCS teams as tough opponents. Since we are one of the only teams that don't play an FCS team, our schedule is weaker.

Like your team was for many years before last year? It’s amazing how 1 good year from some programs erases their suck.

Do you notice something here Sherlocks??

The best teams have the "easiest" schedule.


Alabama at number 4 hardest.
UGA #7

Your theory is clearly wrong.

Because it's a pretty weak SEC schedule but I'll give you credit for not understanding since it's your hardest schedule in decades.

Its a weak SEC schedule but a decent one overall and that is a fact.


By the school names alone no one would look at the schedule and say it's weak. Michigan, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, and two blood rival games vs. A&M and Arkansas (both hate Texas more than they like themselves and both are on the road).

Bama plays Auburn every year but no one calls it an easy game just because Auburn sucks that year. A rival is a rival.

Obviously Fla is way down this year. Michigan and OU are good but not great. But no way the people putting the schedule together would know that at the time.

Anyway if the final resume shows Texas going into the Big House, Cotton Bowl (OU), Swamp, road wins at A&M and Arkansas, AND a home win vs. Georgia, Horns won't have to apologize to anyone for the schedule.

The SEC schedules for 2024 weren't completed until Dec. of 2023.

The SEC schedule makers had a pretty good idea which teams would be good, which teams would be middle of the pack and which teams would be bad.

You all got seven projected middle of the pack and bad teams.

Most teams have peaks and valleys in this conference, unless you’re Saban’s bama teams.

Serious question:

WTF have you played other than an overrated Mich team that lost their head coach and 18 starters?

Also:

It’s one thing to have an easy schedule, it’s another to keep your starters in the entire game to run up the score and pad the stats, then brag about how good you are.

our starters are out by first drive of 4th quarter , but you wouldn't know because our 3 rd string looks like your first.

I do wonder what Texas fans will say if UGA beats them handily, even if they're winning the rest of their games.

They only play one of the highly ranked SEC teams. If they lose, will they claim that was just a bad game, or will they admit that maybe their success is based somewhat on schedule?
