May 29May 29 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.
May 29May 29 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.
May 29May 29 Just give Beamer Purdue, Northwestern, or Maryland every year. Those are almost G5 teams.

May 29May 29 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
May 29May 29 SC played 9 P4 teams and Georgia played 10. Im fine with 8 and a non-con like tOSU or meeeshigan.
May 29May 29 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: Clemson and GT

May 29May 29 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.
May 29May 29 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.

July 14Jul 14 Author Quote 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.
July 15Jul 15 This Chris dude on SEC network picked Venables as coach of the year and Mateer as heisman winner. Jeez
