Tennessee's OOC schedule is a joke!

This is the last of the old culture of the SEC scheduling routine. The CFP has

Pretty standard for the SEC. 8-conference games, 8 homes games

Last year all 14 SEC teams played 3 non-P5 teams

You didn't read the article detailing future schedules.

I read the article...it looks like much of the same

The irony of a Ute fan whining about weak OOC schedules, your clown college

Utah's schedule is an embarrassment and should be much better

I'm not a fan of Utah guys being on our board AT ALL, but I definitely give.....

Which has 2/3 of their schedule handed to them, and which doesn't?

Yawn. UU fans have touted SOS for the past 8 years. Button it.

I’d lump all P5 teams in that “gaming the system”

StalwartBraveTrue

5/24/19 11:42am

The Big 10, Big 12 and PAC12 all play 9 game conference schedules

Medute

5/24/19 11:56am

I agree with you in principle...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 12:19pm

It probably mostly matters when it comes to things like injuries

Medute

5/24/19 12:33pm

I would also have the committee give more points for away games.

Benfica1

5/24/19 1:04pm

Interesting note on that...

Hawaii has to be considered a special exception

Medute

5/24/19 1:45pm

I'm actually OK with Hawaii having 8 home games because of travel costs.

I predict Tenn finishes last in the Sec East again

Why do you think Mizzou will be stronger, they just lost Drew Lock to the draft.

Diablo and Doc

5/24/19 9:42am

But they picked up Kelly Bryant

Gustav

5/24/19 9:50am

I didn't know that. Kentucky is a real wildcard, they lose Snell and Allen, but

Wait—didn’t we spend all day yesterday making fun of an Aggie who said BYU has a

Consistently is never CB’s strong point

RC Vikings

5/24/19 9:44am

His point isn't about the quality of the teams, just that they are all at home.

Ned Schneebly

5/24/19 10:10am

Tennessee could schedule any team they want. BYU doesn't have that luxury.

stev

5/24/19 11:10am

Really? You're smarter than this.

Benfica1

5/24/19 12:24pm

At least they’re coming to Provo, which is more than some SEC teams are willing to do

Indy Coug

5/24/19 9:42am

Is this kind of like USU student making fun our our weak schedule that included

Goliath

5/24/19 9:50am

Similar, but I mean the teams besides BYU.

stev

5/24/19 11:13am

Did UAB lose and then regain its FB team all between the time Tenn scheduled

Gustav

5/24/19 9:52am

And by the way, UAB is no joke. They are a very good team.

Goliath

5/24/19 9:53am

Actually, UAB beat NIU in their bowl game, so not sure we would've beat them

Goliath

5/24/19 9:56am

I think the "joke" was that all of their OOC are at home...

CoachSpeak

Several people in this thread didn't read the OP. I love when that happens

YIsForBrigham

5/24/19 11:00am

I think they read the OP. It's just the OP doesn't make any sense

Goliath

5/24/19 11:12am

My point is that Tennessee could schedule any team they want.

stev

5/24/19 11:14am

Aha--so the point wasn't just that they were home games.

Goliath

5/24/19 11:22am

If they win out with that schedule they go to the CFP. Who’s laughing?

Refugee

That BYU team is probably going undefeated... but those other 3

Rebuilding a once proud program. SEC teams like tune up games minimize injuries
