OOC games of note: FL/Miami TN/UCLA Bama/Clemson GA/AZ St ARK/TX Ole Miss/Wake Forest Auburn/WVU SC/Clemson Ga/Ga Tech FL/FSU KY/L'ville MSU/Ga Tech Vandy/Wake Forest imo, that's not enough to offset the fact the conf is littered with the Wofford's, Nichols St's, The Citadel's, GA Southern's, SE Louisiana's, Western KY's and Samford's of the world. I understand the need for balance.....but it just can't be the majority of the conf. scheduling this way.... i'm usually one to pound my chest on the conf. toughness.....but surely we can do better on the whole than that..... one other note about some of the SEC schedules…..TN and Vandy are the only teams in the East that don’t play 1AA teams….

in the West, LSU is the only team that doesn’t play a 1AA team…no, they play Troy, North Texas and Tulane…whoopie.

that’s 3 of 12 teams playing an all Div 1A schedule…..

OOC games of note:
FL/Miami
TN/UCLA
Bama/Clemson
GA/AZ St
ARK/TX
Ole Miss/Wake Forest
Auburn/WVU
SC/Clemson
Ga/Ga Tech

imo, that’s not enough to offset the fact the conf is littered with the Wofford’s, Nichols St’s, The Citadel’s, GA Southern’s, SE Louisiana’s, Western KY’s and Samford’s of the world.

Living in KY is no picnic surrounded by a bunch of felines (cats) and bird brains (UofL). They brag all year about nuting. Vols far more superior than either team, so lets go prove all these Ky folks what Big T all about. Smoky get them together and Phil will do the rest. I’m looking forward to the Vol season.
