I've lived in Georgia my whole adult life and have been in business with two Georgia alums for 20 years. Yes, I know them. I have looked into this OOC scheduling thing before at length and UF/UGA are both generally more aggressive scheduling OOC opponents than we are. They both play 2 power 5 OOC opponents most years. We haven't played more than 1 since 2003. The real argument in our favor is that we play Bama every year and they rotate them with 5 other teams and Bama year and year out has been tougher than LSU and Auburn and that's unquestionably true in the Saban era (though strangely enough a loss to Bama has never cost us the East, rather losing directly to UF and UGA has). Otherwise, we all have played the East schedule and it is what it is.You seem to know quite a bit about the dawgs there hossfly!
Yeah, that's a structural flaw with the SEC's schedule since Missouri & A&M joined. If you weren't a team's permanent cross-division rival, you had five other teams to rotate in one spot. Glad that's getting fixed.My problem hasn't been with their OOC schedule as much as the SEC schedule. They seriously skate by Bama and other more difficult teams in the SEC schedule.
That schedule looks like a recipe to stop another national... Maybe even SEC championship... Lord willing.

This should be close: Green is guestimated.
Nothing official - just piecing it together from various reports/stories I’ve read. Chris Low from The Tennessean confirmed quite a few and here’s an article with an expected breakdown. Predicting game dates for Tennessee's 2024 football scheduleWhere did you get the missing pieces from?
