Well now that you put it that way, here, sir, is your link:This is one of the things we need to be highlighting to recruits. uga puffs their chest about playing against the best with their mighty sec schedule. But they play in the East and only get Bama/LSU/A&M 6 total times every 12 seasons.
We have a tougher schedule than them year in and year out. And we should be making that known.
“Sources: The SEC coaches call on Thursday became contentious,” Thamel tweeted on Friday. “At least five SEC coaches expressed frustration over the lack of transparency regarding the inability to produce a "formula" for how the two additional league opponents were chosen.”
When going over the new opponents on each team’s 2020 slate, it’s clear which teams got a worse shake than others. Arkansas, a team mired in misery over the last two seasons, drew Georgia and Florida from the East. Tennessee, already with Alabam on its schedule as a full-time opponent, got Auburn and Texas A&M.
On the other side of that coin, Alabama added Missouri and Kentucky while Georgia added Arkansas and Mississippi State. Without a clear explanation from the SEC, some coaches may have been frustrated with the lack of knowledge about how new games were determined.
