The slow weakening of the SEC begins. The SECs dominance can be attributed to many factors. Athletes, coaches, budgets, revenue, etc. Greg Sankey has now presided over the official downfall of that dominance.
A HUGE Part of the SECs budget dominance comes from the 8 game conference schedule and 4 non-conference home games in many years. That is now gone.
You people tired of cupcake games, I don't want to see you expecting 10 wins a year, consistently. Because you are signing up for NFL style parity. Meanwhile, the playoff selection - even at 12 teams - still favors overall record over strength of schedule by the widest of margins. A 11 win, non-champion, Big12 team will ABSOLUTELY get in over a 9 win SEC team. You signed up for that comedy.
The OP has lost his marbles completely. A 9 game SEC slate and a major P5 opponent? Are you high?
It amazes me how some people think they can have their cake and eat it too. A desire to go the playoffs every year and a top 3 hardest schedule in America. Watch how teams that are serious about championships do their schedules. While our fans whine and cry about easy wins.
We aren't a serious program, and it starts with the former students.
