SEC West V. East Matchups since 2011

[Ericvol2096]

The statistics you are about to read are going to blow your mind. The scheduling disadvantages (in addition to all the other's we've faced the past 4 years) is staggering.

Below are the final record and matchup's each East team has faced versus the West each year since 2011. TN's has been exponentially harder.

Tennessee

2014: 3 Ole Miss (6-0)
2013: 1 Bama (12-2), 7 Auburn (11-2)
2012: 19 Miss State (8-5), 1 Bama (13-1)
2011: 1 LSU (13-1), 2 Bama (12-1), 3 Ark (11-2)

UGA

2014 : Ark (3-3)
2013 : LSU (10-3) , Auburn (12-2)
2012 : Ole Miss (7-6), Auburn (3-9)
2011 : Ole Miss (2-10), Miss St (7-6), Auburn (8-5)

South Carolina

2014 : Texas A&M (5-2)
2013 : Arkansas (3-9) , Auburn (7-6)
2012 : LSU (10-3), Arkansas (4-8)
2011 : Arkansas (11-2), Miss St (7-6), Auburn (8-5)

Florida

2014 : Bama (5-1), LSU (4-2)
2013 : LSU (10-3) , Arkansas (3-9)
2012 : A&M (11-2), LSU (10-3)
2011 : Alabama (12-1), LSU (13-1), Auburn (8-5)

Vanderbilt

2014 : Ole Miss (6-0)
2013 : A&M (9-4) , Ole Miss (8-5)
2012 : Auburn (3-9), Ole Miss (7-6)
2011 : Alabama (12-1), Arkansas (11-2), Ole Miss (2-10)

Kentucky

2014 : LSU (4-2)
2013 : Bama (11-2) , Miss (7-6)
2012 : Ark (4-8), Miss St(8-5)
2011 : LSU (13-1), Miss St (7-6), Ole Miss (2-10)

That means the total record of West teams each team has faced so far the past 4 years is as follows

Tennessee : 86-14
Florida : 76-27
Vanderbilt : 58-37
Kentucky : 56-40
SC : 55-41
UGA : 52-44

That is absurdly more difficult.

Wow you did some digging and I have to say that's pretty odd.

...

Tennessee : 86-14
Florida : 71-26
Vanderbilt : 58-37
Kentucky : 56-40
SC : 55-41
UGA : 52-44

That is absurdly more difficult.

Haha...i looked this up the other day also, has i felt that we always go into a season and i think "at least our west opponent will be easier this year"....then low and behold they are having a decade best season....absurd....with that said you went the extra distance...KUDOS!

 

[bamawriter]

Tennessee really has had some terrible draws lately.

 

[gofordrew]

The SEC West has just been the far better division the last 4 years. TN *****ed and fought hard to keep its permanent matchup with bama, and that's what makes up 37 wins in the last 3 years....

 

[Ericvol2096]

Here it is without the natural rival to show how bad our draw has been.

Tennessee
2014: 3 Ole Miss (6-0)
2013: 7 Auburn (11-2)
2012: 19 Miss State (8-5)
2011: 1 LSU (13-1) 3 Ark (11-2)

UGA
2014 : Ark (3-3)
2013 : LSU (10-3)
2012 : Ole Miss (7-6)
2011 : Ole Miss (2-10), Miss St (7-6)

South Carolina
2014 : N/A
2013 : Miss St (7-6)
2012 : LSU (10-3)
2011 : Miss St (7-6), Auburn (8-5)

Florida
2014 :
2013 : Arkansas (3-9)
2012 : A&M (11-2)
2011 : Alabama (12-1) Auburn (8-5)

Vanderbilt
2014 :
2013 : A&M (9-4)
2012 : Auburn (3-9),
2011 : Alabama (12-1), Arkansas (11-2)

Kentucky
2014 : LSU (4-2)
2013 : Bama (11-2)
2012 : Ark (4-8)
2011 : LSU (13-1) Ole Miss (2-10)

That changes it to the following

Tennessee : 49-10
Florida : 33-17
Vanderbilt : 35-16
Kentucky : 34-23
SC : 32-20
UGA : 29-28

Seems like we always get one of the best Western Division teams each year. Ole Miss is having the best season they have had since the 60's and guess who they play - TN. Oh and let's make TN travel to Oxford also. Last year the same thing - Auburn was 3-8 the year before, but since they are playing TN in 2013, let's make then National Title contenders. Of course we don't play LSU this year since they are having a down year. But when they were in the top 5 year in and year out we played them two years in a row.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

I don't recall off hand who we draw from the west next year but watch out they will likely be national title contenders since they land on our schedule!

We drew Arkansas.

At least it's at home, I guess?

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Hell then Arkansas fans should go ahead and purchase tickets to the playoff for the 2015 season!

 

[Ericvol2096]

Hell then Arkansas fans should go ahead and purchase tickets to the playoff for the 2015 season!

It certainly looks primed to be their breakout season as a program.

Hopefully we breakout more though!

 

[aussievol]

Y'all are looking it as a negative? When Vegas puts out their over/unders for win totals next year. put the house on Arkansas and the over. $$$$$$ So when the Vols lose to the 7-0 Pigs, we still win!!!! Make lemonade out of lemons.

Um no. I'd rather have a W and keep it simple.

[Ericvol2096]

So it looks like the west dominance shift began in 2009.

 

[JohnMcA60]

Well seems like Arky is improving every day so that game will be a doozie next year.

SEC hates us

Sticky-worthy, IMO. Freak, let's make it happen

 

[99gator]

Florida has played Alabama this season

 

[Wizard of Orange]

Yep, to be fair, you should include Bama on Fla's 2014 sched

 

[72 KPT VOL]

Good analysis. Vols have had an unlucky draw on the West teams last several years. Bama every year during period they are very strong and even the rotating teams have strong years when we have to play them.

However, over the last four years shown Tennessee has not done well against the East teams either. When we start dominating the East, our record against the West will improve also, no matter who we play.

The great years of many wins each year are not too far in the future. Butch and staff will get us there.

Go Vols!

 

[Volteacher]

Arkansas 11-1 beats Everyone except Bama on the road.....Ok who do we play in 2016???
