Giving us 5 west teams is weird.  Only 1 home game vs a traditionally East team.

It's weird too that South Carolina did not get Florida or Georgia

But they were sure to keep them paired with A&M, lol.

I will give credit where it is due.  Now that UCF is in the Big 12,  UCF is now considered P5.  So that's 11 P5 schools for Florida on 2024.  Or if you prefer defining it as P2 and M3, then that's 8 P2 and 3 M3 schools.

I wonder what Florida would have done if the SEC went to 9 games in 2024.  Would they have dropped Miami or UCF?

Sec dropped 2024


My reaction to Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC is about the same as UCLA/USC bolting for the Big Ten. Fine, go make it harder on yourself if you feel you've outgrown the PAC/B12.

Oklahoma's schedule is brutal starting in 2024:
Vs Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina
@ Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Missouri

It's not about "outgrowing your conference". It's about those sweet, sweet, Benjamins.

They've stated many times this is a 1-off, and looking at the schedules I believe that to be true.  I think they just took the opportunity to really scramble the schedule and put together some matchups we don't often see, while also mostly preserving the traditional SEC rivalries.

And I think that's key-- most teams have, on their schedules, at least some version of the expected 3 perma-rivals if/when the conference moves to a 9-game schedule and orients it with 3/6/6 scheduling.  So I think this is one step in that direction, while also just having some fun totally mixing up the schedule due to breaking down the divisions.

Honestly it looks like a lot of fun, to me.  There are gonna be some fantastic games.

Yep, it's going to be a rough ride for a while.

It's been proven before that OU is not up for the task against the big boys (playoff winners). But then again, who is?

Ohio State is probably the closest in all of CFB.

Exactly.  When the difference between B1G/SEC money compared to B12 money was only going to be $20M/year, that's tolerable to schools like Texas and OU.  When it starts approaching $50M/year, it's just not viable anymore.

Agreed.

Schools like Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Michigan, etc have enough "homegrown" revenue that if their conference is somewhat behind the SEC in TV revenue they can survive and remain competitive anyway. However there is a limit to that. 

It appears that the limit is somewhere between roughly $20M and roughly $50M. Below that tradition matters and playing in an easier conference matters. Above that money trumps everything.
