Next Season Schedule (SEC)

#26

That schedule next year is gonna drive me to drink.

Absolute brutality.

Only saving grace is that the road schedule is not as horrible as it could be. We're gonna drop multiples at home though.

Well, not what we wanted vs. the Sooners (Who I can't find any reason to hate, good for them!). Likely NOT going to make the CFP, and I was looking for our schedule next season.

We get to host:
Bama
Auburn
Kentucky
LSU
Texas
We have to visit:
Arkansas
South Carolina
Texas A&M
Vanderbilt


I don't know... the road schedule is tough with Texas A&M and Arkansas. Other than that, we got this.

Looks like there will be a lot of “self inflicted wounds, losing it in the details, and at the end of the days.”

I cannot overemphasize how much I need Tennessee to win that Texas game. I'll be there too, Texas friends in tow. I've had to endure the "real UT" and the "which shade of orange is right" chatter with my Texas football friends for twenty five years. They're coming to our house with their big money roster and their Manning and I cannot afford to lose that one out the gate. I'll never hear the end of it otherwise.

That was some BS that Texas tried to pull off. At least the courts got it right.

lol
They will hard to beat.

We could go 8 - 4 or 7 - 5

Out of the nine sec teams, we play three teams (Auburn, LSU, Arky) that will have first year head coaches.. have to win those three. Beamer will be on the hot seat, Stoops will likely be gone at UK.. this is honestly a favorable schedule given the state of the teams we will play. Also, Vandy will no longer have Pavia and is essentially a home game.

Pavia isn’t anything anyway lol. He is gritty but he is way overrated. He has benefited from a great staff and team Lea has put together. My opinion of course.

next year's schedule is CAKE compared to 2027. 2026 will probably be the easiest schedule UT has for many years to come.

Tennessee roster will be younger next season than this season... Don't know about the other teams they play.

69% of this season's roster is freshmen and sophomores..

The good news is virtually all the major positions besides QB are getting young guys playing time. Hopefully we see more if in these final 3 games since the season is a bust and we are out of the playoff hunt.

Oh I agree. I just feel this is a repeat of 2023 and no one really brags about that season and for good reason because we were pretty much eliminated from Atlanta and the playoff by mid October.

LSU, Auburn, Arkansas (New Coaches) and South Carolina will probably better next year. TX will still be very good with Manning having another year under his belt. A&M will be a big challenge too. Vandy won't be as good and we don't have Florida or UGA 🤞

It seems crazy to say that, but look at the following years. Majority of the big games at home next year. Get Arky, Carolina, Vandy, Kentucky. LSU and Auburn under a first year coach. It’s as favorable as you could hope for imo.

Everyone is going to hate this 9 game schedule. Brutal year after year.

It's fine...9-3 teams from the SEC will be in the playoffs when it expands, so it's not as huge as some people are making it out to be

In this league, we just can't start making home losses a regular thing. White/Heupel can't survive that. It's sure to lead to some 6-6 or worse, losing seasons. Fans wanted all these great match ups and an elimination of these easier games. Well, they get their wish next year. Let's see how much folks enjoy it. In this portal era, you can't build depth anymore and a meat grinder of a schedule will surely lead to more and more injuries. Then again, the kids today won't play with a boo boo so just being "hurt" or "banged up" will have our guys sitting on the sidelines.

At this point and not knowing what moves(if any) Heupel makes in the off season, I'm having a hard time seeing 6 wins on that schedule. Seriously.

So we play Arky 3rd year in a row and they are not one of our 3 permanent opponent , seems weird.

you keep saying this like you're going to manifest it into existence. it ain't damn happening ever (until the playoffs are expanded to 16 teams).

people think that strength of schedule is God. it only matters if you win the damn games against the tough teams (example: beat Alabama on their field and then lose to Vanderbilt). we woild get more credit for that than doing what we did this year which is beat every bad team and lose to all the good ones.

SoS is a myth now. the only thing that matters is this:

1. create a really huge P4 conference of 18-20 teams
2. make sure only 2-3 teams are ever really any good
3. avoid playing those teams at all cost
4. walk into the playoff

what the SEC needs to do is go out and raid some bottom feeder ACC teams to pad our schedule like the B10 did with maryland and rutgers.

I don't want clemson or fsu in the SEC. give me boston college and wake forrest please. we are all full up of good teams.
