Florida:
9/5 - FAU
9/12 - Campbell
9/19 - @ Auburn
9/26 - Ole Miss
10/3 - @ Mizzou
10/10 - USCe
10/17 - @ Texas
10/24 - BYE
10/31 - Georgia (ATL)
11/7 - OU
11/14 - @ Kentucky
11/21 - Vandy
11/28 - @ FSU
We can go like 7-5 with this schedule. Even with the bye, @ Texas-UGA-OU is a rough stretch.

How do the schedules rank in difficulty, given the info that we have up to this point?

Aggie gets Bama, Georgia, Texas and OU which appears among the most difficult with quick glance.
SC gets Texas, Georgia, Aggies, Bama.
Going purely on this year those look to be the most difficult without knowing what UF and LSU will be next year.
Too many unknowns at this point to accurately pic.

Aggies aren't playing Georgia next year. That won't happen until 2027. So that'll make once in 16 years that the Ags will have played Georgia since joining the SEC.

Was thinking about the size of conferences on a 3.5 hour trip for a 5 minute hearing today.
I think in my lifetime there's a chance these 16 and 18 team conferences may break up and have smaller and more regional ones once again.
But probably not. Whatever makes the most money will prevail.

I 100% believe that.
But what has to happen is what should have already happened, we’ve got to separate out D1 football from the rest of the NCAA and limit the teams that are in the top echelon. Whatever criteria you need. 32 teams, 50 teams, 64….just need to draw a line, set the criteria for being included, and deal with the whole nil and portal a little differently.

My ultimate realignment proposal acknowledges we can't go back in time, but that we can go back by going forward.
Add teams so the SEC, B1G, and one other one (ACC-XII hybrid) has 20 teams.
Divide them into 10-team divisions, just like the conferences USED to be.
You play the other 9 teams in your division, under the larger conference umbrella.
Division-winners (who are true champions, by playing everyone else in their division) either go to the playoff or play a conf championship game to get in the playoff. But both get in.
If we have the SEC, that'd be UGA and Bama, B1G IU and OSU, ACC/XII Duke and BYU (although Duke wouldn't win a division in this format).
Six teams earning it, and maybe 2 at-larges. Clean, 8-team playoff, seeded however, with no rematches.
The point is, the 20-team SEC in this format could have the original 10 be in a division and all play each other, and the other 10 would make up the other division.
UF-UGA-TN-VAN-ALA-AUB-LSU-OM-MSU-UK
and
Tex, A&M, Ark, OU, MIZ, USCe, and 4 others who would do anything to be in the SEC
So UGA goes 9-1 vs their division and plays A&M who goes 9-1, both have tie-breakers over whoever and it all works out. Or they don't have a CCG and just go to the playoff, it doesn't matter. It's clean.
Yes, you're in the same conference in name only, but your DIVISION is the key. Same with the B1G - original 10 plus a division of the newer 10.

F that. It just lets the OG get their cake and eat it too. No cross play? Remember, this is what the OG voted for. We had a pretty good conference, even with 14 teams, and they chose to give that up.
