Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 3197855, member: 6132"] Tennessee plays Texas every year regardless. Matching the LVs up with Baylor would've made sense, but Tennessee actually schedules a non-conference schedule worth following so I can understand why they wouldn't want to load it up with both of the likely #1 and #2 teams in the Big 12. Miss State or A&M (both are teams that could be anywhere from preseason #1 to #4 in the SEC) probably should've been matched up with the other top team that Tennessee didn't play. I actually don't think the WVU matchup is that bad for State (they will be a top 4 team in the Big 12 I think, which isn't saying a lot) but still, a matchup versus Texas or Baylor is much more comparable talent-wise. Ball dropped there. They are really avoiding having A&M playing Texas and Baylor. The Aggies will be a top 3 team in the league next season.. why in the heck are they playing OK State? It's a terrible matchup. Slaughterhouse. Baylor vs. Georgia will be an early season demolition. I do think SC and Kentucky rotating off the schedule presented a challenge for scheduling top teams. I can almost guarantee you that SC would've been playing either Texas or Baylor had we been in this challenge. The only matchups I'm planning to watch are Texas/Tennessee (just to see how improved Tennessee is) and MSU/WVU (just because I think this game will be closer than expected). [/QUOTE]
