4. Who misses the big boys from the other division?
It’s the most important aspect of the SEC schedule – who do you play from that other division?
Every team plays an eight game conference slate, every team gets an FCS free space, and every team gets three other non-conference games. Every team plays six division games and one team from the other division, and every team has one permanent buddy from a rivalry of some sort that gets to keep on going.
But as you’ll see, not all schedules are created remotely equal.
