9-3 with a fake SEC schedule, like Texas.  5-6 with a real SEC schedule, like Georgia

Their second tier teams are routinely overrated. Penn State and Indiana would each have two losses, and be right in the thick of things.

As noted often, there is a long difference between SEC schedules, e.g., UGA vs Texas.

Eh, people keep saying this, and yet the "scrub" teams on Texas' schedule have beaten Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and LSU, but have been unable to beat Texas.  Isn't the "SEC Grind" supposed to be the middlin' teams that are still good enough to bite the top teams in the arse, just not EVERY week?

The "SEC Grind" still exists.  It's just not affecting Texas.

I think there is a wide difference between the Texas and UGA slates this season.

Maybe the middlin' teams can upset you, it happens, but that still isn't the same as playing three top level teams on the road and one more at home plus Clemson away from home.

UGA played every upper level SEC team but A&M.  They did miss Vandy.

And those "upper level" SEC teams are taking losses to teams that didn't beat Texas.  Seems to me like they're not actually all that "upper level."  Perception is a powerful thing, and preconception is a huge part of perception in college football.

Y'all crack me up, literally going on for decades about the "SEC Grind" and then a perfect season presents itself to support your arguments, and it gets abandoned just because Texas isn't losing to the SEC scrubs like all the "real" SEC  teams are.

As Hooky would almost certainly write-- LMGDMFSBAO!

UGA didn't lose to any scrubs either.  I personally think had UGA played Texas' schedule they'd be 10-1, but that isn't all that different from 9-2.

There are what I'd call "upper level SEC teams", they are the once ranked vs unranked.  We could include South Carolina on that list too.

Texas  UGA  A&M  Ole Miss  Bama USCe    I think they could all beat each other on a given day.  Playing three of them on the road is going to be tough.

they don't like the newby of the conference sitting on top

they'd be happier if the Horn's record looked more like the Sooners

I see a lot of Dawgs fans rooting for A&M to beat Texas, which I suspect is probably right.

I think Texas is better, but on the road at Kyle, not a walk in the park.

I think Texas is the better team as well, but in rivalry games, lots of of strange things can happen.  This one will be as emotionally charged as any Texas- Texas A&M game has ever been, and the Ags can most certainly win it.
