Will this year's conference schedule have any effect on our cross divisional opponents in 2021? Seems a bit strange not exchanging a return visit to an opponent's stadium after already playing them twice at your place. Will Auburn have to play South Carolina in Columbia in back-to-back years (2020,2021)? I see LSU will have to do just that with Vandy. If the SEC was smart, they would've repeated your 2018 and 2019 opponents just at the opposite venue. You would've been able to play 6 cross-divisional opponents within a 3 year time span without changing the schedule come 2021. I've advocated many times that the SEC needs to just drop divisions and go to pod scheduling once the current cycle expires following the 2025 season. It makes so much more sense.

Sabah will make sure bama gets vandy twice at home to balance out having to play a tougher schedule this year

It seems the decisions were made based off of who each team already had scheduled as their cross-divison opponent instead of their entire season's strength of schedule. The people on SEC Network kept referring to the Alabama-Georgia game as a justification for both of those teams easy drawings.

Who cares. We play USC junior and UTjr 2-0.

We definitely got an easier draw than some others but I'd like to have a bit more diversity here. In my honest opinion, traveling to road games is the most fun part of the season. Especially when its somewhere new or out-of-conference.
