Why on earth do we have to play Florida and Tennessee twice, and Bama/Arkansas only once?

What's the logic behind this scheduling? What's the format?

Obviously, but how did we draw Florida & Tennessee twice?

Last year it was Kentucky twice. Just trying to figure out the formula

Eighteen games. Play everyone at least once. One permanent Twice a season opponent (A&M) The other twice a season opponents rotate.

You seem upset about it? You want to play the better teams when you're in a league as weak as the SEC. If you're only playing the better teams once then you don't have many chances for quality wins. It also helps your SOS and RPI whether you win them or not.

I like the rotation schedule. Also think the Tigers will take down every team they play at home this season, including the Gators and Vols.

Those teams are gonna be saying, "why we gotta play LSU twice?!" We have some bad dudes for the next few years so get out your popcorn

It depends. You want to be in a good position to reach semifinals and finals of the conference tournament. The only exception is if you're right on the borderline between getting a bye and not getting a bye, it can help to have that extra game.
