ellitor 33,088 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 SIAP but apparently JGT was expecting the opponents, but not the actual schedule, to be named for each SEC team yesterday but didn't happen because apparently administrators were not happy with SOS disparities between teams.

There is no way the SEC is going to get the SOS right. They should do the next two divisional opponents and let the chips fall where they may. That’s honestly the fairest way.

Phlllip just said the schedules were supposed to be announced yesterday or today but the school admins are still fighting over who gets to play who.

When the dust clears, we'll find out who has the strongest cajones. I'll be surprised if Auburn get's a good draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Anyone know when the SEC will release the 2020 schedules? I thought it was March 20th 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Maybe I’ve lost my competitive edge but Georgia, LSU, TaMu, and Bama are plenty of high end TV games for a 10 game schedule. Arkansas is the only “easy” game I see on Auburn’s schedule. I’ll take USC and Mizzou over playing Florida or against Pruitt. Maybe Chad will reverse the Pruitt curse but why push the issue?

It's not AU pushing it. It's the conference pushing for more "big games". Makes tv contracts more lucrative, which we all share revenue in. In a year where fans will be limited, maximizing TV revenue with bigger games has to be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @passthebiscuits has pointed out a handful of times there are people in the AU that want the Vols FWIW & I do too. 23 minutes ago, Win4AU said: why push the issue? payback for a sickening loss.

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Im a fan of both of these old school type games, but “IF” this happened, it would be pretty telling that they are really trying to give bama the “easy” schedule. Basically giving our originally proposed schedule to bama while giving us UF and then letting LSU play Vandy instead of UT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That schedule would be way too brutal for us. We would have no healthy players left by the time the Iron Bowl rolls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be really clear they are favoring Alabama if they passed this schedule, but honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

That would be patently ridiculous under any circumstances, but especially with us already playing uga. For all we know, Vandy and Kentucky could be better than USCe and Mizzou.

Win4AU 4,052 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm listening to Finebaum for the first time in awhile and he was saying some of the coaches are pitching fits about the schedules. Only one person came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly most of the bigger teams, if not all, were politicing for the better games. Unfortunately Bama is a big seller virtually with no matter who they are playing.
