Toughest schedules

Based on home games as well as who the teams play.

EAST

1. Florida

2. Kentucky 

3. Georgia

4. Vanderbilt

5. Tennessee

6. South Carolina

WEST

1. LSU

2. Arkansas

3. Mississippi State

4. Alabama

5. Auburn

6. Ole Miss

Auburn

Realistic best case record with this schedule: 12-0

Barring total disaster worst case record: 7-5

Realistic record: 10-2

This is a national-title friendly slate with an excellent mix of cupcakes and tough, national-respect battles. A win over Washington State in the opener will look better in November than it will in September. LSU, Arkansas, Florida and Georgia all have to come to Jordan-Hare, while the road games aren't that bad before the regular season finale at Alabama playing at Mississippi State, South Carolina and Ole Miss. Buffalo, Tulane and Arkansas State provide some big breathers in the midst of the SEC schedule.

Sept. 2 Washington State

Sept. 9 at Mississippi State

Sept. 16 LSU

Sept. 23 Buffalo

Sept. 28 at South Carolina

Oct. 7 Arkansas

Oct. 14 Florida

Oct. 21 Tulane

Oct. 28 at Ole Miss

Nov. 4 Arkansas State

Nov. 11 Georgia

Nov. 18 at Alabama

- Almost certain win | Likely loss | Could go either way

All those home games look good, comments?

Did I miss something? How does UGA at Auburn not make the Top 10 list???? :blink: I have to interpret that as a (major) dis' to the dawgs . . . I know Tereshinski's no Shockley, but COME ON!!! UF at UT made the list - AT #4!!! - what did those teams do this year????

Wow.

How is LSU's schedule tougher than Arkansas?

(not factoring in Games vs SEC West)

:lsu: - UL-Lafayette, Arizona, Tulane, @ Florida, Kentucky, Fresno State, @ Tennessee

:arky: - USC, Utah, @ Vanderbilt, SE Missouri State, UL-Monroe, @ South Carolina, Tennessee

I think Arkansas trumps with both USC's, Tennessee.

They have Bama having a tougher schedule than us.....Give me a break (I did go back and noticed that they do count in if the tough games are played away or at home....And Auburn does infact have a better home schedule than Bama, therefore the better rank by one slot):

Bama

Sept. 2 Hawaii :blink:

Sept. 9 Vanderbilt :blink:

Sept. 16 UL Monroe :blink:

Auburn

They could wind up winless on the road this year, and kick in another loss in JH-West to boot. 7-5 is very possible.

That just about has to be what they are looking at to say they have a tougher schedule, because Arkansas State and Tulane would beat Duke or FIU. Most of our big games are at home or in JHW, toughest road game is :usc: .

I kind of figured that the "toughness" factor has something to do with how good your team is too... you know, we would have less trouble with Tulane than bammer would, and so forth... :big:
