With the 9-game SEC schedule we’re goin to play at least two non conference games each year against ULM/UTEP/UTSA, etc. If we pussy out on playing at least one challenging OOC game each year then add one to the dogshit lineup. I hope we don’t do the latter, but it’s a possibility.

As a result, we’re guaranteed at least two games in inferno that is Austin in September and maybe three. Since we’re playing these shit tea,an anyway, why not have one of those September weekends at least be a conference game which would be away every other year? Additionally is it not a bad idea to have what’s effectively a bye week right before what should be the big push every year?

I get not playing D-2 schools, but why do so many people bitch about SEC schools pushing one of their dogshit games to November instead of September? End of the day you play the same schedule, you’re just spreading out the cupcakes…

Of course it’s a good idea to put a get healthy game in November, just like it’s a good idea to play a cupcake week 1

Pride?

This November cupcake bullshit should be going away, starting next year with the 9-game SEC schedule. Sankey is encouraging league members to beef up their OOC scheduling, too.

But why? It’s not like we’re adding a shit team to the schedule, we’re just playing them right before rivalry week and the playoffs. Why is that bad?

Honestly, if we beat aggy to go 9-3 and get left out of the playoff, the message to all of college football is don't ever schedule a big OOC game at any time.  If we'd played a scrub in week 1 instead of @ Ohio State, we'd have gotten in easily.

No, the message is don’t lose to a team that fires their coach two weeks AFTER they beat you…

If playing a marquee match up week one - which by definition means you could lose - means you can’t have one conference slip up to a team you should beat then your basically saying the loss to said marquee match up matters. 

so don’t schedule it. 

but the real problem is Texas has looked like dog shit in 8 out of 11 games and only looked good against OU, Arkansas and Vanderbilt.

No one is going to play these games in November going forward. No one wants those games when it’s time to figure out who is good.

Do you think everyone in the SEC is going to stop doing it? I can’t think of one example of when this practice hurt someone…

C'mon, man

The message is don't lose to UGA by 25 in November. The OSU loss doesn't hurt us nearly as badly.

You're missing the point.

This is about scheduling big OOC games or cupcake OOC games.

Our exact situation, if we beat aggy, is an example of how the huge game against Ohio State can only hurt us.  Teams absolutely will stop scheduling those games.

The rest of the schedule is non-negotiable.  They're conference games.  Yeah, win them.  Obviously.  But in this new world, if a 9-3 Texas team with a better SOS than every single 10-2 team gets left out, then no one should schedule big OOC games.  It's all risk and no reward.

Maybe, but we've been scheduling one marquee P5/4 opponent OOC every year, and that ain't changing under CDC.

Did it hurt us this year? Sure, but now we're crying over spilled milk. It's helped us in the past, too.

UT needs to schedule more bottom-feeding P4 teams instead of OSU and Michigan is what I've gleaned from this rant.

This. Our schedule is fairly similar to Ole Miss with one glaring difference. We played Ohio State and they played Washington State. We can keep scheduling big time OOC games, but don't be surprised when we miss the playoffs with 3 losses. The committee has a tough time getting over the WIN-LOSS column and the old way of comparing teams. Scheduling disparity is a problem in college football and won't be fixed anytime soon.

And we're telling your dumb ass that everyone is switching to playing bad teams in September going forward. SEC teams with non-SEC rivals will play an SEC opponent in September. The November cupcake is going away. Take a look here and you will see most of the OOC games are in September now. 

https://fbschedules.com/sec-football-schedule/

We should never be afraid to play big name OOC games. Georgia doesn't. Bama doesn't. OU doesn't. Do you not remember beating Ohio State in 2005 being a launching point for a championship run? If we hadn't gotten blown out by Georgia, the Ohio State game would be saving our ass as far as a playoff berth. Getting blown out by Georgia and losing to shit ass Florida is the issue, not fucking Ohio State.

What does any of that have to do with September vs November, jerkoff?

Lulz 

I will admit I fucking hate it. Today’s slate of games was fucking awful. But if all of our conference peers do it, we’re fools to put our scrub games back to back to back early in the season, especially after playing the best team in the country week 1. Our schedule this year was a great example of what not to do. And how the fuck were our worst performances after byes?

Name the teams in the SEC that don’t play one of their shit games in November. You say ‘everybody’s doing it’, the link you posted is to this weekends games, which furthers the point…

And they’ve only lost one game vs three. that’s kind of a big difference.

lol seriously? Who did Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, South Carolina, and aggy play today?

who did Tennessee and Kentucky play last weekend? Who did Ole Miss play the week before that?

did you intentionally just exclude any November game? I didn’t say play every fucking non-conference game in November, I said take a shitty game that you’re going to play anyway and play it late in the year.

That is next year you fucking moron like I said. The OOC cupcake outside of a few teams is gone. Everyone is moving their OOC to September unless they have an OOC rival like Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kentucky.

It was a blow out. They scored 21 points in the 4th. We had a chance until it got into the 4th and then it was over. The Florida loss is worse because they are one of the worst SEC teams. It's also one that looking back makes no sense at all.

I’m fine with the schedule and prefer it. No one is really sneaking in as a top 20 team but in the top 12 of the CFP rankings while playing in the SEC (that’s is essentially the argument people are making though - a top 15ish team would be in the playoffs if we hid better). Schedule the games. Recruit off it. Play the games and just be a top 10 fucking team.  Shit Mack could do it year after year, what the fuck is sark’s problem?

Has this been confirmed?     Or will most teams go with two non conference games  in September and then reserve their final cupcake order in October or November at a date of their choosing if possible?

For better or worse, our OOC scheduling most years has included one marquee P4 opponent home-and-home. CDC is committed to a great "fan experience", so I don't see that changing under his watch. Moving forward, it'll be more of the same with two G6 opponents filling it out.

You take tOSU loss out of the equation and call it a win over rice. Being fair to the season, it wouldn’t be convincing though. Texas drops to 2-3 after a few shit weeks and another team shows themselves to be dominant. Then the Florida loss, probably drops to  7-10. Then the struggles against UK and Miss St. would have kept Texas in that range. Then Texas gets boat raced by Georgia. Where would Texas be? Somewhere between 12-16 or so. Guess what, that’s where Texas is on Tuesday.  Yeah the Ohio State loss did something but I’m not convinced a worse schedule with the same results but a win over a team like Rice has us much higher than where we will be on Tuesday. And if it would, by 3-4 spots only and we’re still biting our nails. The fact is this Texas team is a top 15-20 team, we know it, committee knows it, and hiding at the beginning of the season with a win over rice wouldn’t do much for us in this instance.

I know about the nine conference schedules.  I was asking more along the lines if the SEC is going to do away with the cupcake dates in November and front load everything up front like we've done since we joined the SEC last year.  

Edit I see in 2026 it looks like they are front loading everything for many teams unless those are just place holder dates until the conference dates have been set.

Yes, most SEC teams have moved all of their OOC games to September. The only teams that haven't are Ole Miss and Mizzou. Any teams with ACC permanent rivals will continue to play them on rivalry weekend at the end of November.
