I’ll start by acknowledging we had one of the easier schedules in the SEC and blew it. No excuses
That said, moving forward, just being in the SEC is a disadvantage out of the gate compared to say being Clemson, ASU, Penn State etc.
Go look at the current CFP rankings and only one school has a top 20 SOS. Most are in the 30’s or even 50’s. I’m sorry, if you play the 60th ranked SOS questions should be asked.
The SEC conference is dumb for agreeing to this format and all league schools, knowing this, should demand transparency on how the schedules are formulated. The league schedule is going to be make or break.
The business of keeping certain teams on schedules to protect rivalries needs to be reevaluated.
