The crew over at Athlon Sports recently ranked the 2025 SEC schedules from easiest to most difficult.

Missouri landed at No. 1 with the easiest schedule. LSU was No. 6, and Mississippi State was ranked at No. 16 as the toughest schedule.

quote:
6. LSU
Aug. 30 at Clemson
Sept. 6 vs. Louisiana Tech
Sept. 13 vs. Florida
Sept. 20 vs. SE Louisiana
Sept. 27 at Ole Miss
Oct. 11 vs. South Carolina
Oct. 18 at Vanderbilt
Oct. 25 vs. Texas A&M
Nov. 8 at Alabama
Nov. 15 vs. Arkansas
Nov. 22 vs. Western Kentucky
Nov. 29 at Oklahoma

The Tigers haven’t won a season opener since 2019, and their losing streak could continue with a Week 1 trip to Clemson. The rest of their nonconference schedule is against non-Power 4 opponents, but the SEC schedule could prove challenging.

LSU hosts Florida, South Carolina and Texas A&M in 2025 and has road games at Ole Miss and Alabama. Heading into his fourth year in Baton Rouge, pressure is mounting on Brian Kelly without a playoff appearance to show for his work.

Athlon Ranks The 2025 SEC Schedules From Easiest To Most Difficult:
1. Missouri
2. Ole Miss
3. Tennessee
4. Auburn
5. Texas
6. LSU
7. South Carolina
8. Alabama
9. Georgia
10. Texas A&M
11. Vanderbilt
12. Arkansas
13. Kentucky
14. Florida
15. Oklahoma
16. Mississippi State

The teams in the top half will be in the top 15 of FBS SOS by the end of the season. All 16 teams will probably be in the top 50, Probably the top 40 of SOS.

We are in my opinion should be 9th toughest, we play a very average SEC schedule: 2 good teams, 4 middle pack, 2 bad. However we have Clemson OOC. So if we are average in conference, but have Clemson that should put us at 9th or 10th toughest.

Texas should be closer to 3 or 4. All 7 of their 8 SEC games aside from UGA, were the very bottom ranked 7 in the SEC. UGA was only one outside the bottom 7 they played. They play Ohio St and UGA, then the bottom 7 SEC teams. You can lose those 2 then just win vs Vandy, OU, Miss St, Ark, etc. and still make playoffs.

We always have a difficult schedule

One reason is everyone gets to play us but us. Then again we'd lose the blue-White game LOL.

So, we are basically middle of the pack in difficulty of schedule. Not noteworthy IMO.
