Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
At first glance, it seems brutal. But when you consider that we're trading Georgia, Florida, and Ole Miss away for Alabama, LSU, and Texas, it doesn't seem QUITE as brutal...
Let's face it... ALL SEC schedules will be brutal starting next year.

Killing Rivalries
As the son of two UGa alums, the VU v UGa game was always a big deal in my family. For a decade or more, we attended every year, home and away.
As a Floridian, I have always made a point to attend as many VU @ UF football & mbb games as possible. Hope I live long enough to see this monstosity of a non-regional conference explode and splinter. How is this ideal for the athletes and their families?

Re: Killing Rivalries
They pointed out on wsfa in Montgomery that Alabama and Mississippi State have played in each of the last 76 years.. That too is ending.mtnvandy wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 1:54 am As the son of two UGa alums, the VU v UGa game was always a big deal in my family.

It is a good thing the playoffs are expanding as I don't see any SEC team being undefeated after they go to nine games.

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
Cynically my take is that the leagues will grow even larger as the ratings and dollars keep growing...will be interested to see what happens when they both start to recede. How much will the lesser emphasis on those games fans are used to watching add to the demise of the golden goose.
Will also be interesting to see what happens to the school's like ours with much smaller fan bases and national interest and (at least for the great majority of the post WWII era--but hopefully changing with Coach Lea) less successful football programs.
And vis a vis our '24 schedule...it will be an accomplishment to go 6-6...but I never saw us going 5-7 last year, so here's hoping

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
Ugh. This schedule is terrible for us. Unless things drastically change (like our going to a wide-open offense), we will be lucky to be competitive in three of those 2024 games. I see five almost certain losses.

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
To many of us who grew up in the 10-team SEC, this obviously no longer even feels like an SEC schedule.
We don't play EITHER Mississippi team OR Georgia OR Florida.
Alabama won't play either Mississippi team either in 2024.
Auburn doesn't play LSU.
They need to just change the name of the conference, because "SEC" doesn't describe it.

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
There are now two super conferences. One has a bunch of former SEC teams along with many others and the other has many former Big 10 teams along with many others.

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
I'll be happy to see the book closed on the "SEC" as it has been on the SWC and Big 8, among others. The moniker is no longer applicable, nor is the spirit of the league. College football has changed, and continues to. We might as well accept it and let go of the past. I hate that I'm saying this, but it is time to recognize where we are.

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
Pretty much accurate. I'd like nothing more than to see conferences go back to geographical constructs, not that money wasn't inherent in that as well. But back in the day it was more about saving money on travel than media rights. If we're going to expand the playoffs until it looks like the NCAA basketball tourney (it's coming), then reduce the regular season to 10 games in a restructured conference system designed geographically.Johnmn555 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 2:35 pmNew name, "The Big $"?coachinwaiting wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 1:10 pm I'll be happy to see the book closed on the "SEC" as it has been on the SWC and Big 8, among others.

At the end of the regular season, begin a 32 team playoff bracket. The maximum number of games (for 2 teams) would be 16. The minimum for the losers of round one is 11. Does that leave out too many teams from the post season? Okay, let the 16 first round losers move to the losers bracket (no worse any idea than the lower tier of bowl games we have now) and play the first 16 left out of the original bracket for the honorable mention championship trophy. Problem solved.

Re: Here are your 2024 opponents
Doubtless most of us grew up with a 10-member SEC and are nostalgic about it. But it's worth remembering, as we all know, one of the SEC's predecessors was the SIAA, which grew to 30 members, including Texas. From the SEC History website:
The seven-member SIAA expanded to 19 institutions in 1895 (Alabama, Auburn, Central, Clemson, Cumberland, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, LSU, Mercer, Mississippi State, Nashville, North Carolina, Sewanee, Southwestern Presbyterian, Tennessee, Texas, Tulane and Vanderbilt) and by 1920 there were 30 members.
The larger schools reorganized as the Southern Conference at a meeting in Gainesville Dec. 12-13, 1920. Professor S.V. Sanford of Georgia called the meeting and served as the first president. Charter members of the Southern Conference included: Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee.

It will be Year Four of the Clark Lea era. If the arc of improvement continues... maybe Vandy is in a position to do some of the pulverizing?bernstml19 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 5:06 pm I just looked at this 2024 schedule. We are going to be pulverized.
