Is it possible the SEC actually rewarded LSU?

Just like in the playoffs, Coach O said, “We don’t care who we play. We’ll play in a parking lot in Canada at midnight if we have to.”
With that attitude combined with the other SEC teams bitching about who they could potentially play, did the SEC just reward us for having the “anyone, anywhere” attitude?
That, and oh yeah Scott Woodward! We’ve finally got an AD boys!

I’d take Georgia again. I don’t care. Would make for a better resume. WE AINT SCURRED

They would have really screwed over Georgia if they gave them LSU. They already play Bama and Auburn. That had something to do with it.
They did give LSU two of what I would say are the bottom 3 of the SEC East (probably bottom 4 SEC as a whole).
We also play S. Carolina. There is no doubt that LSU has the easiest cross divisional schedule even with Florida.

I thought this as well at first. But here are the records of the SECe teams last year:
- Georgia 12-2
- Florida 11-2 (Already scheduled)
- Tennessee 8-5
- Kentucky 8-5
- Missouri 6-6 (Added)
- South Carolina 4-8 (Already scheduled)
- Vanderbilt 3-9 (Added)
I know LSU fans were mostly looking at UGA as the doomsday scenario of SEC frickery, but I think drawing Tennessee and Kentucky would have been significantly worse than Vandy and Mizzou. They are all games we should win, but I’d put Kentucky’s odds of an upset about 10x higher than Vandy’s.

Ole Miss gets Florida & South Carolina at Home/ Vandy & UK on road
State gets Mizzou & Vandy at Home/ UK & UGA on the road

Pretty surprising and doesn’t seem to make sense, but whatever. Is there a pattern in the scheduling? LSU supposed to play @mizzou in ‘23 and played at vandy last year

LSU already plays the best teams in the league, except for Georgia. LSU is being tested admirably already. What other team plays a tougher schedule than LSU overall. LSU plays the best teams in the league already.

Let’s not forget that LSU already plays Alabama, Auburn, Florida and A&M. That’s no cake walk before you add anybody to the schedule. The only top team LSU doesn’t play is Georgia.

UK will be 3rd or 4th in the East. Georgia is the favorite.
It's probably:
1. Georgia
2. Florida
3/4. Kentucky/Tennessee
5/6. Missouri/SCAR
7. Vanderbilt

I think they gave the good teams from last year the worst teams from last year.
So yes
So yes

Its Possible.
Its also possible that this was the right thing to do.
I believe the SEC did the right thing across the board for the elite teams. Sankey deserves credit for doing a helluva job. New respect for him taking this opportunity to do the right thing. Outstanding!
Who's total strength of schedule of the elite teams is out of line comparatively? Which is a nice change.
And if you knit pick a game here or there go back the last few years and ask yourself, which teams deserved the benefit of doubt the most?
