Weak SEC scheduling....

[taka85]

scheduling real teams at the end of the season is not an issue. Teams like Bama and a boat load of SEC teams scheduling trucking schools as their second to last game of the regular season is just pussy scheduling.

Auburn plays 4 teams currently ranked in the top 15 in November. Three of those are on the road. And yeah, they play Samford the 2nd to last week of the year. How is that pussy scheduling?

How many other SEC teams have done that? Like I said some have the Balls to do it Georgia just happens to be one of them. GaTech is hardly a road game for Georgia. Colorado in the past decade has been more like an FCS school. Oklahoma State and Clemson are good. Also I'm talking about games out of the SEC region. Teams like Alabama and LSU rarely travel out of the friendly confines of the south until they have to which is why Alabama is playing USC.

This whole thread is stupid. ND fans are NOT the ones to be making arguments about OOC scheduling. You are aware that ND is an INDEPENDENT, aren't you? As an independent, ND plays ZERO conference games and 100% OOC games. Comparing ND's 12 schedule to ANYONE'S 3-4 game OOC schedule is STUPID.

Let's compare 100% of ND's away schedule to 100% of away schedules for SEC teams over the BCS era (1998-2013).

Dude, you are wasting your time arguing with SloCalJim. He doesn't want to look at facts just perception.

Smart scheduling ... some schools do a "pre-season", others a late season "bye week." Same fucking difference.

We've rehashed this a dozen times. I'd rather have 3 easy games to start the season than the late season bye, but I don't always get what I want.

In this argument, it's amazing how you always forget that a bunch of us pussies play that intrastate grudge match in the last game every year:

UGa v. GaTech
USCe v. Clemson
Ky v. Lousiville
UF v. FSU
Vandy v. Wake (stopped for now)

Never a peep out of you guys giving credit for that OOC.

Same old, same old whining.

[TexasExes98]

what helps keep SEC teams at the top of the polls is the top-tier talent, coaching, and product they put on the field. wasn't it just a couple of years ago an undefeated notre dame was eviscerated by an SEC team with a loss?

LOL at Sakau still deep throating his rival's cock.......

Just an "I have nothing to add" post, because this topic has been sufficiently beaten, over and over and over.

A "drive-by" post, if you will.


edit: I'm not that deep or philosophical. What you see is what you get.

SEC teams play 26 more non conference games than big 12. only 5 of those are vs big 5 conferences....FCS FCS!!!...oh wait i mean SEC SEC!!

The conference that plays 1 less conference game a year and has 4 extra teams plays more non conference games? What an amazing piece of data you have stumbled upon.

And the 5 vs big5 conference has to be complete bullshit because I can name more than that off the top of my head.

You are such a low quality poster.
