People were saying next years schedule is notably harder…what am I missing?

It all kind of hangs on the extent to which Florida, LSU and Tennessee “improve”

 Before  some of the coaching changes when the opponents and locations were reveled a few months ago, it was the chatter it might be harder.   Everyone expected  LSU and Florida to be much better and  we know how that turned out.   Now we face those two with new coaches along with Ole Miss  and  Arky.       Tennessee is going to be on the clock next fall as far as their coaching situation.   Mizzou and MSU… Who knows?   We really don’t have conference game that would be an even swap for UGA.   LSU might have been this game if they had lived up to expectations this season, but we will have plenty of time to see if Lane can flip the switch in Baton Rouge.  I am not so sure, but playing in that environment enough is comparable to UGA, so hopefully they do end up underperforming as the season progresses.   

Our non conference schedule is better than this years.   Texas State and UTSA will be better matchups than San Jose, Sam Houston, and UTEP.   

Upside we play Ohio State after shaking some of the rust off against Texas State which we didn’t have the benefit of this season.   

Hopefully the first three home games are night games too.

This is true to some extent.   UTSA and Texas State are not The Citadel or Campbell.    

Yep

G6 > FCS and UT will be both team's Super Bowl

a) it is 9 games now, but everyone has 9 games.  I think it is we are trading UK/Vandy/Geo for(I realize this can be looked at differently) Miss/LSU/Mizz and Tenn for our 9th game.   we didn't get SCAR, UK, Auburn for our 9th game.  Bama would have been the worst draw for the 9th game.

will be interesting how Vandy does without Pavia and how Miss and LSU look given the Kiffin move.

I don't think it is loads different but it is a bit harder if you look at the road games.

If we got SOS credit for Tx ST and UTSA vs Citadel/Campbell it would be nice but I don't think you do. until they punish SOS and SOR for FCS, it is basically getting a bye.  TXST and UTSA I would not consider a bye.  It is a 98% win but the game won't be over in the 1st quarter like those others.

Traveling to Tennessee is a brutally tough start to the SEC schedule. Meanwhile A&M gets a soft Kentucky team at home, and continues to avoid Georgia + Ole Miss. They'll be 7-0 heading into Bryant-Denny Stadium to face Alabama.

There are some positives, at least. No Georgia or Alabama (Sark gets to avoid Smart and DeBoer, two of his worst matchups). Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, and Arky will all be breaking in new coaches. We can't waste next year like we did this year. Starting out with Ohio State and Tennessee is really rough, we can't go 0-2 against them like we did with Ohio State and Florida this year and dig ourselves in a deep hole.

where are you booking flights?  AA and SW both won't let book out that far.

Oh, but we will.  It's what Soft Ass Sark does.

aggy avoiding Georgia again is just funny.

We knew this back in late September.

Georgia finally comes to college station in 2027, 15 years after A&M joined the conference.

All in all, can’t really find too much to complain about. Yeah another home game in November when it’s cooler would be nice, but not leaving the state for ~40 days from late Sept to early Nov should have its perks.

2nd true road game not happening until Nov 7 has to be close to a record. And I like that the finishing stretch ramps up in road intensity instead of getting thrown in straight in the fire after the 3 weeks at home (at Mizzou, at LSU, at A&M)

 

would like the bye to be a little later in the season, but what are you going to do.

Seriously. Pretty much the same teams. Mostly at home for long stretches or on the road for long stretches. No in between. WTF?

Is Ohio State gonna be a night game? Or is it gonna be a boring 11AM kickoff where the crowd is half asleep?

I seem to remember that Fox doesn’t have the game this year, so we should be good.

Should be as no other team has a game that would get the attention for a that night slot on ABC.    Michigan/OU although will be less attractive now thanks to the chaos at Michigan will probably be on CBS or Fox since it’s a home game for Michigan.  We should probably have the Gameday crew on campus too.
