Butch with 7 ranked teams 2013, Dooley faced 5 ranked each yearI think one of those Dooley years our schedule was pretty loaded with ranked opponents. We consistently have a tough schedule though. We play Georgia and Florida every year as well as Bama. Seems like when we schedule an additional opponent from the west it’s always TAMU or LSU back when they were good.
Yep, add 1 for SECCG, couple in playoffs or 1 in a bowl....Start with Florida, Alabama and Georgia, there’s 3 ranked teams most years. Add in a strong non conference opponent, there’s 4. Our rotating SEC west opponent is usually ranked, there’s 5. Then often as not, one of Mizzou, SC or Kentucky is ranked, so 6. Then once every hundred years, like 2013, Vandy is ranked.
I'm not sure that we've ever NOT had a schedule with that many ranked opponents. At least in the past 10 - 15 years. When's the last time we didn't play at least 5 ranked opponents? Think we might've even had a year with 4 top 10 opponents in there somewhere.
Bammer and Auburn may well be in the SEC east when Texas and OU join.It’s the permanent cross division game against bama that really makes it so tough for us. I for one can’t stand it. It just flat out gives uga, uf, and now even uk a distinct advantage over us. And we don’t need to be giving anyone else any advantages. Old timers will always talk about sitiry etc. I for one couldn’t care less. I care about my son getting to see Tennessee regularly figuring into the sece race and that’s much more challenging with bama in there every year. Hopefully with Oklahoma and Texas coming on board it’ll open the door for scrapping that yearly game. I hope Danny white and others agree. It’ll ultimately be up to them I’d say
Since the SEC has become the dominant force in college football, our schedule will always be tough. We're almost guaranteed to play a couple of top five teams and even a couple more top ten teams in any given year. I'm talking about final rankings tooCheck that year under butch we played like 6 top 15 teams
I'm not an old timer and I would be very disappointed if we scrap TSIO. I know it is a point of contention among folks since we have so many freaking rivals, but Bama will always be enemy number one for me. Florida a close second.It’s the permanent cross division game against bama that really makes it so tough for us. I for one can’t stand it.

When Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC, I would be in favor of a scheduling format that eliminated Alabama as an annual opponent.
