I think two games with Missouri should add to the strength of schedule significantlly. However we will probably lose at least one of these, maybe both, depending on who they have coming back.

Two of the spots go to Missouri. And maybe one goes to Texas A/M

Missouri will be in the SEC east. So yeah we will play them twice. Texas A/M will be in the west. So we might play them once a year.

They said they're doing away with the west east scheduling I thought?

There is no longer east and west in BB.

There is no more SEC East / West Scheduling. The only games we can almost guarantee home / away with is Vandy and UK

I'm still curious how that will play out...

I find it absurd well have to play everyone once and uk, vandy and Florida all twice every year.

While teams like vandy could play us, Arkansas and ole miss for example.

Just no fair IMO. Also, how do you decide the rivals for Missouri and Texas a&m???

IMO it just needs to be play everyone once and rotate 3 teams home and away each year. That's th fairest way IMO.

I agree. We probably won't be happy and end up shafted but I remember reading about how the SEC schedule was already done when they got rid of the East / West stuff. I would think A&M would be Arky but have no idea who Mizzou is going to lay claims too.

If you lose those games like we dd with some this year then you have to win almost all you others.

If we could trade both Memphis games, Pitt and the duke game, for 4 average wins we'd be dancing right now IMO.

If you schedule a lot of hard games it's good for your OOC rank, but if you lose all or most of them, you are in a bad spot.

Tell that to some of those 20+ win teams that did not make it. Schedule tough games and that is the way it is. We don't get there with just average joe's

It was the average joes and below average joes teams that also kept us out of the tournament this year.

Those that missed it were either mid majors sl they don't he the good conference SOS, Or they were like miss st and just fell apart.

So if we trade the 4 losses to Memphis, duke and Pitt for wins against decent teams you don't think we make the tournament?

21-10(10-6) ....yea we'd be in.
