It appears as if the ACC has forced the SEC’s hand in terms of schedule and OOC games.



Big Winners: LSU (who drops Texas and picks up Kentucky and Tennessee), UGA (drops Virginia and picks up MSU and Arky)

Big Losers: Florida (now has to play Bama and A&M), Mizzou (who picks up Auburn and A&M)

Apparently it is official....



The SEC has decided on the direction its football season will take. If there is a college football season, that is.

Following a meeting of the league’s presidents and chancellors, the SEC announced Thursday that it will go with a 10-game, conference-only schedule for the 2020 college football season. Originally scheduled to start the weekend of Sept. 5, the SEC has now pushed back the season’s kick-off back to Sept. 26. Additionally, the conference championship game will be played Dec. 19.

It had been expected that the SEC would follow the ACC’s lead and add a plus-one to the schedule, a non-conference matchup that was previously on the schedule. Instead, the move means games such as LSU-Texas, South Carolina-Clemson, Florida-Florida State and Georgia-Georgia Tech are officially off the schedule for the 2020 season.

The Big Ten and Pac-12 as previously announced that those leagues would be going to a conference-only schedule. That leaves the Big 12 as the only Power Five to have not signaled its scheduling intentions.

Most reliable sources have said that Aggy should be pretty good this year. They're not Bama, but their good years are probably better than Iowa and Purdue, and we all know what happens when you don't take them seriously.

Their schedule was very favorable before the switch up. I think that was a lot of the basing of predictions of them having a "big season". I dont believe it until I see them actually beat teams with a pulse though.

Guessing they lose to Auburn, Bama, LSU & Florida. 6-4

I don't know much about them one way or the other, but I do know that the comments I saw about them weren't predictions about their record and made no mention of their schedule. They are certainly nowhere near what their fans (always) think they are, hence the amount of fun we have at their expense, but when they're at their best, the team should be taken seriously (like the Buckeyes took them the last couple of times they played them in Bowl games).

ACC's 11 games (10+1) schedule with the one non conference games is now officially a joke unless they can get the non conference games with the BIG XII. Playing a non conference game with a "Gang of 5" conference (or lower) will add no value at all to their strength of schedule and will cost > $1M per game to get the "cupcake" school to show up at your stadium. I look for the ACC to go to just a 10 conference game schedule now.

Given the current state of COVID and the No-Mask south, pushing the season back to the last week of September and into mid-December seems like a bit of reality.

caught just a bit of the BTN show last night in which SI's talking head claimed the feeling among Big Ten coaches and ADs was that the season had a 50/50 chance of happening with a high probability of some games having to be cancelled - a week-to-week kind of season. Ugh.
