Yeah, Beamer said Texas and OU have no issues scheduling Big 10 teams because we then play 3 G5 teams whereas they have to play an ACC team every year in addition to a possible Big 10 team if we did a scheduling alliance and add 9 conference games.

Beamer is a total pussy.  He schedules poop fart teams outside of Clemson.  It's not like Texas or Oklahoma are going to dodge a P4 team outside the 9 game conference schedule.  Insecure jackass from a clown program.  I'm glad the fat fucking retard trolled him in the bowl game.

Shane Beamer and Kirby Smart have said this very thing in the last few months. 

They don't want 9 because they might have to give up their FCS cupcakes. THAT is what it boils down to.

this

the rest of the league is going to protect 3 acc/ooc rivalry games to justify staying at 8 ????

the fuck is this idiocy?

conflating the problem with a theoretical b1g alliance is crap - if they want out of that fine - the rest of the league can do it to keep a strong sos and fl/ga/sc can have their acc game

NO FCS AT ALL

Kirby is a douchebag with an agenda, but he doesn't shy away from competition out of conference.

2016:

North Carolina and GT

2017:

Notre Dame and GT

2018:

Just GT (so pretty bad here)

2019:

ND and GT

2020:

Covid

2021:

Clemson and GT

2022:

Oregon and GT

2023:

Just GT (bad here)

2024:

Giving Kirby credit for playing Georgia Tech is silly on multiple levels.

Georgia had both Texas and OU scheduled for this decade and canceled both when we joined the SEC.  Overall they do a pretty good job but yeah, Georgia Tech doesn't really count as anything more than an annual obligation.

Yeah, cracking on Georgia for their schedule is dumb. We have Ohio State and a cadre of spares. They at least have 2 P4 schools on the schedule every year.

GT should be pretty good this season if King can remain upright. They should be fun to watch.

It may not seem like it, but we are inching ever closer to the start of the 2025 college football season. One precursor is the SEC Media Days which will be held July 14-17 in Atlanta. Other harbingers include predictions and schedule analyses. So let’s dig into the latter. Below is a ranking (and a little chastising) of Out of Conference schedules for each SEC team.

BEST OOC GAMES

Texas at Ohio State

Florida at Miami-FL

LSU at Clemson

Clemson at South Carolina

Texas A&M at Notre Dame

WORST GAME

LIU at Florida - I didn’t even know they had a football team. Give yourself a pat on the back if - without Googling - you know what LIU stands for, what their mascot is, and what their team colors are. I only know because I recall the Collin Sexton Bama basketball team playing a game against BYU on LIU’s tiny little court some years ago that sent me down a Google rabbit hole.

BAD GAMES - NAME THAT MASCOT!

SC State at South Carolina

Alabama A&M at Arkansas

Eastern Illinois at Alabama

Tennessee Tech at Kentucky

Samford at Texas A&M

SLU at LSU

Alcorn State at Mississippi State

Charleston Southern at Vanderbilt

Illinois State at Oklahoma

Central Arkansas at Missouri - on a Thursday night no less.

Mercer at Auburn

ASKING FOR TROUBLE

Arkansas vs Arkansas State at Little Rock, AR - While the state of Arkansas has some billionaires (the Walmart Waltons, JB Hunt, Tyson Foods, Murphy USA (gas), Dillard’s), Fayetteville does not. Thus, the Razorbacks are stuck using a home game in the state capital every year. Arky Lite is actually closer to Little Rock than Fayetteville, two hour drive versus three plus. Additionally, the Red Wolves are coming off their best year (8-5) under Butch Jones and he has his quarterback returning for his third year as a starter.

Arkansas at Memphis - What are you thinking Hogs? The Tigers have a history of winning these kinds of games.

MSU at Southern Miss - The Bullies are going through a rough stretch and losing to little brother USM could be devastating. The Golden Eagles paid up to bring in Marshall coach and former Nick Saban assistant Charles Huff, who brought 20 players with him from his 10-3 Sun Belt Championship team.

WEIRDEST ROAD GAME

Oklahoma at Temple. What could the Sooners possibly gain from playing this game in Philadelphia, PA??

TWO POWER OPPONENTS

Alabama plays at Florida State and vs Wisconsin.

Florida is at Miami-FL and home vs Florida State

South Carolina has a neutral site (Atlanta) vs Virginia Tech and a home game with Clemson.

HOME SWEET HOME

Ole Miss and Missouri are the only SEC teams who do not have any out-of-conference games away from their home stadium. The Rebels big difficult game against a Greg Sankey strongly suggested “Power” opponent is Washington State. Mizzou’s is Kansas.

Georgia and Tennessee have three home games and one neutral site game. However, these two so-called “neutral sites” are both Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. In the UGA game, it is technically a home game for Georgia Tech. But let’s get real. That stadium is going to be cram packed with middle-aged men in red Stetson Bennett jerseys barking at children. Somebody must be paying the Yeller Jackets A LOT of money to give the Bulldogs’ home field advantage. The Vols and Syracuse also play in ATL but in a one-off game. Again, there will be more hillbilly orange than Yankee orange for that one.

BEST RIVALRY RENEWAL

Kansas at Missouri - This rivalry, aka the “Border War”, goes beyond the gridiron as the animosity dates back to the Civil War when each state was on the opposite side of the American confrontation. The annual get-together came to an end after the Tigers joined the SEC in 2012. It is back on for the first time in 14 years.

 

RANKING THE TOUGHEST TO WEAKEST OOC SCHEDULES

#1 FLORIDA

home vs LIU

home vs USF

at Miami (FL)

home vs Florida State

NOTES: Although, the Gators play the worst OOC game of the year, the other three are intriguing ones. Kudos to UF for keeping these rivalries alive and perhaps starting a new one. Bama has seen what a motivated USF team can do (too soon?).

#2 ALABAMA

at Florida State

home vs ULM

home vs Wisconsin

home vs Eastern Illinois

NOTES: Two “Power” teams on the OOC slate is a legacy of Nick Saban. You can’t blame Alabama for where these teams are now. Who knew how much suck these two teams would have when the games were agree upon years ago? Even so, struggling Power teams will almost always be tougher than cupcakes.

#3 SOUTH CAROLINA

vs Virginia Tech (Mercedes Benz, Atlanta)

home vs SC State

home vs Coastal Carolina

home vs Clemson

NOTES: Two Power teams and neither will be easy. But the Gamecocks have the advantage of not playing in the other team’s stadium - both of which can be really loud.

#4 ARKANSAS

home vs Alabama A&M

vs Arkansas State (at Little Rock)

at Memphis

home vs Notre Dame

NOTES: We covered two of these games above in the ASKING FOR TROUBLE section. I addition, the Fighting Irish come to town.

#5 TEXAS

at Ohio State

home vs San Jose St.

home vs UTEP

home vs Sam Houston

NOTES: While the other three are pathetic foes, going to the Big House to kickoff the season is a tall order.

#6 LSU

at Clemson

home vs Louisiana Tech

home vs SLU

home vs Western Kentucky

NOTES: Playing in the Big Lots Death Valley won’t be a cakewalk. And don’t overlook what Tyson Helton has built at WKU. No upset prediction here, but there will be some fight in the Hilltoppers.

#7 TEXAS A&M

home vs UTSA

home vs Utah State

at Notre Dame

home vs Samford

NOTES: The trip to South Bend will be treacherous. It’s doubtful UTSA will upset the Aggies, but they won’t be a pushover.

#8 OKLAHOMA

home vs Illinois State

home vs Michigan

at Temple

home vs Kent State

NOTES: UM-Okie should be fun.

#9 MISSISSIPPI STATE

at Southern Miss

home vs Arizona State

home vs Alcorn State

home vs Northern Illinois

NOTES: We covered USM above. The B12 champ Sun Devils had a close 30-23 win over Clanga-clang in Tempe in 2024. This year, ASU comes to Starkville. For what it’s worth, NIU was 8-5 a season ago including a win over Notre Dame.

T-#10 VANDERBILT

home vs Charleston Southern

at Virginia Tech

home vs Georgia State

home vs Utah State

NOTES: VaTech will be a dangerous one.

T-#10 AUBURN

at Baylor (Friday)

home vs Ball State

home vs South Alabama

home vs Mercer

NOTES: Dear Lord, take me before Alabama is forced to play on a Friday to get attention.

T-#10 KENTUCKY

home vs Toledo

home vs Eastern Michigan

home vs Tennessee Tech

at Louisville

NOTES: When does basketball season start?

LAME

#13 MISSOURI

home vs Central Arkansas (Thursday)

home vs Kansas

home vs Louisiana Lafayette

home vs UMass

NOTES: Mizz has all home games, but at least the one “Power” matchup is against a hated rival in which anything can happen.

#14 TENNESSEE

vs Syracuse (Atlanta)

home vs ETSU

home vs UAB

home vs New Mexico State

NOTES: Three homers and a “neutral” that will be more Vols fans than ‘Cuse. While the Orangemen are not a historically top 25 team, they were 10–3 last season. The rest of the games are brought to you by Charmin.

#15 GEORGIA

home vs Marshall

home vs Austin Peay

home vs Charlotte

vs Georgia Tech (Mercedes Benz, Atlanta)

NOTES: The Dwags always cry like playing Tech every year is some monumental undertaking. This year, they don’t even have to play it in GT’s home stadium. The travel time for this one and only OOC “road game” for the Doggies is equivalent to a typical Atlanta commute. They will wake up and sleep in their own beds before and after the game.

#16 WEAK-ASS OOC SCHEDULE: OLE MISS

home vs Georgia State

home vs Tulane

home vs Washington State

home vs Citadel

NOTES: Four home games for the Rebs. Lane Kiffin has quite the reputation for cupcake scheduling, but this is one of his saddest efforts. First off, WSU has not been remotely scary since Mike Leach was there. Then there is FCS Citadel. The hardest game on this slate is Tulane, who did not even win their conference last season.
