Breaking: SEC Approves Conference Only Schedule - Season starts Sep 26

[escapegoat2]

Someone check on fade. He was convinced no games this year.

It's every conference for themselves now.

Absolutely; this completely forced the Big XII and ACC's hands, sadly, because there's no way that the ACC's "OOC played within state borders" caveat to their +1 would jive with the Big XII. The only OOC game I can see being played among the giant conferences at this point, unless the ACC and Big XII decide to play smaller schools, is Notre Dame vs. Navy.

I’ll take any football I can get, but I was looking forward to the Oklahoma game.

I'm going to go ahead and personally declare that one a win for the Vols

So is Fla the 1st game or do they move one of the 2 added games ahead of them?? Jumping right out the gate with fla is pretty tough

 

[TNHopeful505]

I'd rearrange the schedule making the first 6 weeks division games, then play the 2 scheduled West opponents, then the last 2 weeks are the pairs of East west matches. This makes more sense than trying to match open dates and whatever. JMO

Covid is only contagious cross-conference?

It still might not be

it will be the first game

 

[OrangeVolMan]

it will be the first game

Want to bet. It has already been said that schedules will be rearranged.

Same here. We were looking forward to another road trip and a possible win this time around.

 

[TrueOrange]

I wonder if they'll try to get out of the 24 game coming here since we didn't get to go to their place

I would imagine they’re both more likely to try to reschedule this one to another season.

 

[dobre_shunka]

It's every conference for themselves now.

Yeah, but I can't believe the ACC hadn't at least sent feelers out to the SEC about keeping those games.

This means all the cupcake games are gone across the board. A lot of smaller schools are going to be cancelling sports over the majors playing conference only.

Exact same thing I'm wondering...

Stay tuned to find out.

 

[hog88]

Me too. But it makes sense to get everybody on campus and take some time to figure out the logistics.

Should have allowed 1 OOC game. IMO it makes the SEC look bad.

He’s still probably right. The late start date is going to be used to see if we even need to bother starting.

Very serious, I guess LSU is ranked ahead of them in the polls, but i expect a huge drop off with changing DCs, QB coach, and the single greatest season ever from a QB. Just not going to happen. They'll still be good, just probably not top 4. Auburn is lower than then preseason.

It's a schedule, an interim at best, no games have been played and may not. We'll see.

You have your fingers crossed.

When you see your life's work crumbling, you get nervous.

I was too but any football is fine with me at this point...Look at it this way it will be like playing old school SEC football before the split divisions.

Just curious on the decision making process here.

What would make this safer? Or is it just more controlled because every decision is under one governing body, the SEC.

 

[Cmacsmokey]

I wish we had one gimme game start the season before 10 straight SEC games.

I don’t understand it either how is traveling to Baton Rouge let’s say any safer than going to Norman ?
