The SEC schedule complete with dates was released Wednesday night. No doubt it has Texas fans fired up for the team’s inaugural season in the Southeastern Conference.
The schedule is about as favorable as they could make it while being fair to other teams across the league. Perhaps only Texas A&M, who avoids both Georgia and Alabama and gets Texas at home, has the only easier schedule on the western side of the conference.
Here’s a look at the complete schedule.
- Colorado State
- at Michigan
- UTSA
- Louisiana-Monroe
- Mississippi State
- BYE
- at Oklahoma (home)
- Georgia
- at Vanderbilt
- BYE
- Florida
- at Arkansas
- Kentucky
- at Texas A&M
Texas will face its fair share of top opponents. The Longhorns face the Michigan Wolverines in Week 2 in what will surely carry one of the bigger television audiences of the season. By midseason, Texas faces Oklahoma and Georgia in back to back games.
Let’s look at a few takeaways from what seems to be a manageable first SEC schedule.
