SEC Hits A New Low In Scheduling

[cloverleaf]

Which conference plays these teams during the 2015 season?

Texas, Michigan State, Michigan, Boise State, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Virginia, BYU, Rutgers

Which conference plays these teams during the 2015 season?

Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Arizona State, Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Louisville

I'm guessing I could list the ACC, Big 12 and Big 10 non-conference schedules for the 2015 season and they would look similar.

My $ would most likely be on Army against the Gators.

Vandy was the last sec team to play army in the reg. season , so i would guess they would be first up on the dockett.

I think this scheduling of Army was made more with the Vandy's and Kentucky's in mind than it was the Bama's and LSU's. I just saw where Miss St. has a home and home scheduled with BYU. BYU is no pushover, just ask OU and Texas. So this is pretty good scheduling for MSU. And good for BYU in trying to gain more national recognition.

I agree , moreso with Vandy. Now that Louisville is in the acc i "think" kentucky gets to count that as their big game. (i think this is the un-written Vandy rule)

...But the sec is always going to catch flack from the haters , hehe i noticed where Auburn has lined up a h&h with Cal Bears in 19/20. Now Cal is currently on a slight up-tick and theres still plenty of time for them to become a quality opponent , but could you imagine if it had been 3 years ago and 2 years ago ? lol

I've never had a problem with teams the SEC has scheduled, since most programs end up getting a Saturday morning at the pastry shop. I do not think those games should be allowed once the conference season is underway. There has been a few SEC teams that come off like they are trying to game the system by playing these teams in October-November. Losing late being worse than losing early, that is, imo, an intent to manipulate. I don't suppose that has changed coming from the Old Bowl System to the BCS to the Playoff. Losing late is bad. Keep the weekend at Krispy Kreme's in September.

Give credit where credit is due. The SEC schedules are still below the norm among the rest of the big 5 conferences, but not as bad as in the past.

Is BD for real, or just writes crap for arguments sake?

It's all about USC or you can go f**k yourself.

**The word "fan" is a derivitive of the word "fanatic."

Definitely BD.

He reminds me a little too much of Whormoan...I know that's your all time favorite poster. Ha!

Guys, I've known BD back when we were both rookies at EOG. At the time, CFB was rock,en and the place to be.

EOG went (AIR AMERICA) and posters went to other places like me and many others...BD included.

What I always admired about BD, he knew cfb....no question....Trying to understand his post at times...not sure I'm qualified to explain...hell, sometimes I don't understand my own post.

I'm sure you know that he is the "Junkman." He was a handful.
But you have to give him credit for cleaning up his act some. His
opinions are fairly educated as Clover says.

You know that whormoan was a former Pac-10 player that was
arrested for child molesting. I don't think we are taking about Junk.
In a way he is way too straight to be the same guy and he also lives
in Palm Springs, whormoan lives in San Diego. THANK GOD !!

To be honest CB, UF hasn't left the state and done the road warrior thing for over 20 years in preseason. Just because they get FSU every year as a traditional rivalry that is far from cuttin' it in a SOS sense because I can think of several if not many others that also schedule big rivalry games however they also travel out of state quite a bit to fill out a much tougher OOC schedule. I've known this for years... that UF schedules softer OOC and keeps it close to home. It's only a matter of going back to see what I am talking about... no offense intended. Besides that, it's up to the playoff committee how they wish to rate these preseason games, not the conference leadership.

My question is, "So what?"

UF plays in the SEC. They play 1 of their games in Jacksonville EVERY year (which eliminates a home game every other year). They play FSU, arguably one of the toughest teams over the last 30 years (top 5). And a PAC12 fan has a problem with it? Who cares?? Seriously. UF plays LSU, UGA, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and FSU every single year. That schedule alone would make P12 teams cry tears and hope for 6-6 seasons. Plus you add in a West game vs. Bama....or any of the West teams, hell they are all good! But a P12 fan has the BALLS to question UF's schedule? But Conan has "known this for years"?? So what?

Florida has one of the top 10 athletic budgets in the country. If they give up a home game they lose 1/7th of their football revenue. It's not happening. The Michigan game is neutral site, they'll get paid well for that. They play Miami occasionally. But a P12 fan "knows" that UF plays a soft schedule?

More than 75% of D1 teams schedule a 1AA team. Did you KNOW that Conan??

Again, SEC teams have no one to apologize to about their schedules! NO ONE! Especially the Pac 12!

Tennessee has played 9 or 10 top 10 teams in the past 2 years. Fuckin dumbass thread. Ohio St backed out of a series with the Vols guess they need to be replaced with the Patriots or Broncos.

He doesn't know as much as he claims he does. When it comes to handicapping, I've found that the most knowledgeable football people I know aren't posting in football forums. I sure don't claim to know everything. I'm familiar with EOG. I was surfing over there at the same time as all of you other old timers. I was just in there under a different name. And I didn't post very often. I actually liked the early days of the RX forum better. Before I signed up and became a poster, it was pretty quiet in this place in the late 90's early 2000's. The handicappers we had in here actually talked games over without criticizing other teams and conferences to try and get a useless point across.

I don't think it's the same person, but they both have very grating posting styles that look similar at times. I saw something last year in here about Whormoan getting in trouble. I just couldn't remember how serious it was. It sounds pretty damn serious. And it's kind of hard to post from a jail cell. I think BD claims to be an ex-cop or something like that. But given what we see in the headlines these days with social media and I-Phones all over the place, it's becoming pretty evident that there is a fine line between criminal and cop behavior.

Totally true. most guys that are winning every year don't waste time posting for a bunch of ungrateful homers. Therx does have the best college football talk of any gambling site I've seen though.

I don't think it's right to talk about whormoans personal shit. I got suspended here for saying someone's avatar of their girlfriend looked like a crack whore. While I'll admit that was in bad taste I think it's far worse to call posters child molesters

I saw a post about that with links here at the Rx, his actual name, etc. but the article didn't link the guy to his name on line. However if you check up on his playing days in college, it makes perfect sense. I think he was a placekicker. Also the locale of the incidents in question were I believe in the greater San Diego area so it all checks out. I might send you the links as soon as I find them but the proof is way too damning for me to post.

And as far as the cops and criminals go, they know each other pretty well and have learned from each other. True?

it's good. They gave me your old office. You can have it back when you return from prison after your sex reassignment surgery.
