I was spitballing about the two additional SEC games in 2020.

I'm now told that a separate scheduling model - composed by the league office using strength of schedule - will determine the two additional opponents for 2020. twitter.com/RossDellenger/…

So does it help LSU SOS that we already play Florida? Basically does the board think we avoid UGA? Other than UGA not worried about who we play in the East!!

I would bet my entire life that Vandy will be on Bama’s schedule.

How can you determine strength of schedule when nobody’s played a game yet? This better be 1) done by a computer formula and no human committee, 2) EXTREMELY transparent, and 3) with Sankey prepared to stand at a podium in front of a camera ready to explain the methodology and answer any questions that may be posed to him.

I understand not wanting to mess up future season schedules. I’d even be for something as random as drawing teams out of a hat. But when they invoke the completely subjective “strength of schedule,” we’ve got to know how that strength was evaluated, who evaluated it, and what metrics were used to evaluate it.

Well seeing how we had one of the toughest SoS in the entire country last season, we should get 2 fricking cupcakes out of the East

It seems the SEC is just trying to get someone's ire. No discussion if they just went next 2 rotating and then next year keep it the same aside from switching home and away. Instead they want to jumble it and piss some people off. Gotta love it.

SEC "officials" are nothing more than gump wankers.
