The SEC has released its opening week football schedule for Sept. 26, and the four first-year head coaches in the league all have daunting assignments.

Alabama at Missouri
Florida at Ole Miss
Georgia at Arkansas
Kentucky at Auburn
Mississippi State at LSU
Tennessee at South Carolina
Vanderbilt at Texas A&M

The entire schedule will be announced Monday at 7 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.

I think the 7 best SEC teams are playing the 7 worst SEC teams here. It would have been nice to a couple "power house" matchups.

Sources: SEC football coaches irked by added opponents

A conference call with SEC football coaches on Thursday became heated when the issue came up of how each team's two additional opponents were decided for this season, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

The SEC pivoted to a 10-game, conference-only schedule in July. The additional two cross-divisional opponents were announced last week without a thorough explanation from the league for how they were selected. Half of the league coaches expressed, either on the call or to ESPN privately, their frustration and/or anger over how the two additional games were chosen, with multiple coaches telling ESPN that the SEC was leaving itself open to the criticism of the whole process appearing "corrupt."

The conference call with coaches and SEC officials turned contentious after one coach asked for specifics on how the league selected the opponents, sources told ESPN. Unsatisfied with the response, sources said as many as four other coaches chimed in with their own concerns.

At one point, a coach claimed, "Favoritism was played." Another coach asked if the league would be willing to release the formula to the press, "because we're getting pounded with all these questions from the press about it and don't have any answers, and we were told, 'No, because there was no formula.'

"That's why so many coaches are pissed."

Said another coach: "There just wasn't a lot of clarity and transparency on how they arrived where they did on the two extra games, and that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. ... The call got pretty wild. It would have been a good piece of reality TV."

Several coaches told ESPN that they were led to believe, at least initially, that they would simply play the rotating cross-divisional foes on their 2021 and 2022 schedules, but that the league decided against that option because some teams would potentially be playing against each other in back-to-back seasons.

"They told us they were trying to balance the totality of the schedule, but what was already on our schedules shouldn't have mattered. That was a given. That's got nothing to do with anything," a coach told ESPN. "Again, they weren't giving us a lot of answers, so this is what they get."

Yahoo Sports was the first to report Friday that the meeting turned contentious.

Defending national champion LSU, which faces Florida as its annual cross-divisional foe, added a home game against Missouri and a road game at Vanderbilt. Meanwhile, Alabama, which was already scheduled to play Georgia, picked up a home game against Kentucky and a road game at Missouri. Georgia, which already was playing Alabama and Auburn from the SEC West, will play Mississippi State at home and Arkansas on the road.

SEC football to utilize devices used by NFL for contact tracing, distancing

Every football player in the SEC will wear the small, lightweight device also used in the NFL to help with COVID-19 contact tracing efforts, the conference announced Tuesday.

The devices, which are produced by a company called KINEXON, are called SafeTags and are approximately the size of a watch face, according to a news release. They can be worn as a wristband or on a lanyard, or can be built into equipment for use on field in practices and games.

The SafeTags can also be used to help enforce physical distancing regulations by flashing a red warning light when people are within 6 feet of each other.

"Through this new relationship with KINEXON, the SEC is committed to using innovative technology to provide solutions for use by our member institutions as we all work to support a healthy environment for student-athletes," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in a prepared statement. "KINEXON provides the SEC with a modern and effective solution to meet the unique contact tracing challenges associated with football."

You big stupid dummy. Not playing defense only matters if you're playing Wisconsin in the first half of the B1G CG. If you don't demolish them every second of that game, you drop in the polls.

Not playing defense anywhere else is expected and applauded. LOOK AT HOW MANY POINTS THEY SCORED!!!!!
