Analysis of the schedules in the East.

CFN.SEC.East

Florida

Games Against The West: at Alabama, LSU, Mississippi State
Realistic Best Case Record: 12-0
Worst Case Record: 8-4
Likely Finish: 10-2

Summary: The Gators will certainly be tested in what should be a fascinating season. Going to Tennessee isn?t that big a deal against a rebuilding Vols team, but it?s coming off what?s sure to be a hard-fought game against a South Florida team looking to make a huge statement. Kentucky could be a letdown game before dealing with the two big boys from the West: at Alabama and LSU. If the Gators win both of those games, it?s game on for the national title. But a loss to the Tide and a win over the Tigers would keep BCS Championship hopes alive as long as there aren?t any other major gaffes along the way. Georgia is going to be tougher and Florida State will be better, especially in Tallahassee, but there?s not a game outside of the Alabama-LSU back-to-backers that the Gators won?t be double-digit favorites in.

Sept. 4 Miami Univ.
Sept. 11 USF
Sept. 18 at Tennessee
Sept. 25 Kentucky
Oct. 2 at Alabama
Oct. 9 LSU
Oct. 16 Miss State
Oct. 23 OPEN DATE
Oct. 30 Georgia (in Jax)
Nov. 6 at Vanderbilt
Nov. 13 South Carolina
Nov. 20 Appalachian St
Nov. 27 at Florida State

Georgia

Games Against The West: Arkansas, at Mississippi State, at Auburn
Realistic Best Case Record: 11-1
Worst Case Record: 7-5
Likely Finish: 10-2

Summary: Georgia won?t be the best team in the SEC, but it has the schedule to look that way. Any SEC East team worth its salt would take this slate in a heartbeat. There?s no Alabama or LSU to deal with, Florida, as always, is at a neutral site, Tennessee is a home game, and the road games are at South Caorlina, Mississippi State, Kentucky, and Auburn. Throw in a home date against Vanderbilt and anything less than a New Year?s Day bowl appearance will be a mega-disappointment. Even the non-conference schedule works out well with the Georgia Tech game at home and the one tough road trip at Colorado. On the negative side, the game against the Buffs is coming off a road trip to Mississippi State for the only back-to-back road games of the year, and the week off doesn?t come until late November.

Sept. 4 Louisiana-Lafayette
Sept. 11 at South Carolina
Sept. 18 Arkansas
Sept. 25 at Miss State
Oct. 2 at Colorado
Oct. 9 Tennessee
Oct. 16 Vanderbilt
Oct. 23 at Kentucky
Oct. 30 Florida (in Jax)
Nov. 6 Idaho State
Nov. 13 at Auburn
Nov. 20 OPEN DATE
Nov. 27 Georgia Tech

And the West.

CFN.SEC.West

Alabama

Games Against The East: Florida, at South Carolina, at Tennessee
Realistic Best Case Record: 12-0
Worst Case Record: 8-4
Likely Finish: 10-2

Summary: The Tide should be good enough to get through the schedule unscathed and play for a second straight national title if it can hold serve at home. There are plenty of landmines that might appear to be off the radar a bit, like a road trip to Arkansas before the showdown against Florida and a trip to South Carolina following the Gator game. The games against the East are nasty going on the road to deal with South Carolina and Tennessee to go along with the Florida game, and the West isn't a peach, either. There's a big break getting the final three games at home, and getting Ole Miss and Auburn at home is a bonus, but the Arkansas battle will be a shootout while the biggest bad boy of the division bunch, LSU, is in Death Valley. Throw in a non-conference game against Penn State, and this is one interesting schedule for the defending champs to deal with.

Sept. 4 San Jose State
Sept. 11 Penn State
Sept. 18 at Duke
Sept. 25 at Arkansas
Oct. 2 Florida
Oct. 9 at South Carolina
Oct. 16 Ole Miss
Oct. 23 at Tennessee
Oct. 30 OPEN DATE
Nov. 6 at LSU
Nov. 13 Mississippi State
Nov. 20 Georgia State
Nov. 26 Auburn

Auburn

Games Against The East: South Carolina, at Kentucky, Georgia
Realistic Best Case Record: 10-2
Worst Case Record: 6-6
Likely Finish: 8-4

Summary: If the Tigers are sharp out of the gate, there's no reason to not start the season 7-0 before dealing with the meat of the SEC West schedule. That might be asking for a lot with Clemson, South Carolina, and Arkansas to deal with, bout those three games are at home. Going to Mississippi State and Kentucky aren't going to be layups, but any team hoping to win the West should be good enough to get through those in a survive-and-move-on sort of way. The LSU games is at home, but going on the road to face Ole Miss could be the make-or-break moment in the Auburn season coming off the showdown against the Tigers. On the plus side there?s a week off before playing Alabama, but the game is on the road.

Sept. 4 Arkansas State
Sept. 9 at Miss State
Sept. 18 Clemson
Sept. 25 South Carolina
Oct. 2 ULM
Oct. 9 at Kentucky
Oct. 16 Arkansas
Oct. 23 LSU
Oct. 30 at Ole Miss
Nov. 6 Chattanooga
Nov. 13 Georgia
Nov. 20 OPEN DATE
Nov. 26 at Alabama

LSU

Games Against The East: at Vanderbilt, Tennessee, at Florida
Realistic Best Case Record: 11-1
Worst Case Record: 7-5
Likely Finish: 9-3

Summary: The schedule is way too tough to run through clean, but there are just enough home games against top teams to hope for an SEC championship. Starting out the year against North Carolina in Atlanta will test just how good the Tigers are; the Tar Heels are loaded with NFL talent on defense. While facing Mississippi State, West Virginia and Tennessee won?t be easy, all three of those games are at home after going on the road to face Vanderbilt. So, essentially, if the Tigers can get past UNC, they?ll almost certainly be 5-0 before going to Florida in what might be an SEC Championship preview. The biggest break on the schedule is getting Alabama at home, and it becomes even nicer coming off a bye week. However, playing on the road at Auburn and at Arkansas could produce one season-crippling landmine.

Sept. 4 North Carolina (in Atlanta)
Sept. 11 at Vanderbilt
Sept. 18 Miss State
Sept. 25 West Virginia
Oct. 2 Tennessee
Oct. 9 at Florida
Oct. 16 McNeese State
Oct. 23 at Auburn
Oct. 30 OPEN DATE
Nov. 6 Alabama
Nov. 13 ULM
Nov. 20 Ole Miss
Nov. 27 at Arkansas

I find Penn State arguing our smaller number of national championships not their best argument, considering certain recency factors...

Wins before recruits were even born have a shelf life that is less than older alums realize.
