The Big Bad SEC

[East Coast Mustang]

Really wished they would step up their out of conference scheduling and add another conference game

Really? Have you been following college football this season?

Just off the top of my head:

Florida @ Miami and vs. FSU
Bama vs VT (neutral site)
LSU vs TCU (neutral site)
Ole Miss @ Texas
Georgia @ Clemson
Tennessee @ Oregon

And Texas A&M would play Texas if DeLoss Dodds wasn't such a child

The big winner this weekend was the Big XII. All the ranked Big XII teams moved up. Some like Baylor made a huge move.

The AAC took a huge hit with its one ranked team loss.

[Mustangsabu]

At least UCF got into the top 25. Hopefully they are still there when we beat them.

somebody is asleep at the wheel in Arkansas-they ought to be recruiting big time in Texas and they are getting jack didally down here.

[RGV Pony]

they are getting jack didally down here.

Haven't heard of him. From east Texas?

[Stallion]

Little SWC

[PonyKai]

Well if no one has ever heard of him, he's probably an SMU commit. Glad he sent in his VHS tape.

A quote from one of my pre-season football magazines (I think it was Athlons) said that Arky was going to have problems this year because of a lack of recruiting. I think there were some questions about Petrino's ability to recruit, and certainly there were issues when Smith was in charge - their recruiting has been screwed up for over two years now. I believe Beliema is doing better, but you're right - they have been a non-factor not only in Texas but even in their own state, relatively speaking.

[mrydel]

Beliema has addressed recruiting in Texas and it is a high priority. And you are going to see a lot of good Texas athletes going to Arkansas because his crew knows how to do it.

Jack Didally has grade issues.

yes, East Coast Mustang, I have been sleeping through these games

Missouri vs. Murray State, Toledo, Indiana, Arkansas State
South Carolina vs North Carolina, UCF, Coastal Carolina
Florida vs Toldeo, Southern
Tennessee vs. Austin Peay, Western Kentucky, South Alabama
Bama vs. Chatanooga, Georgia State, Colorado State
Auburn vs. Arkansas State, W. Caroina, Flordia Atl
LUS vs. UAB, Kent State, Furman
Mississippi State vs. Alcorn State, Troy, Bowling Green
Arkansas vs. LA Lafayette, Samford, Southern

[gostangs]

the SEC regular season games are murderers row. Why would they schedule tough out of conference? that would be stupid.

[East Coast Mustang]

SEC teams aren't avoiding big OOC games more than other teams in other P5 conferences. The lack of a premiere OOC game might cost Baylor a shot at a national title this year

[East Coast Mustang]

Dwan just needs to admit he was wrong and we can move on

Also these games are scheduled years out- SCar playing UNC isn't exactly ducking and they also play Clemson every year. Not to mention UCF actually looks solid this year and is ranked now.

Tennessee is going to play like eight ranked teams this year- 7 in conference + ORegon out of conference, to give you an idea of how insane the SEC schedule is.

[TidePony]

These schedules will change, they are already working on it.
