Any rumors on 2014 SEC Schedule

[nsvltndog]

It's supposed to be announced soon. Some thought it might come out today at SEC AD meeting, but its apparently still a few days away. Earlier this summer, the LSU AD was quoted as saying they aren't playing UGA or South Carolina in 2014, but that is about the only reference I have found.

Looking at the teams in the East that are playing home games against a rotating SEC West team in 2013 could provide some guidance. The thought is these teams will have to go on the road to a West team in 2014 unless we see some back to back same location games like we had vs UK in 2011/2012. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee are the 4 teams that would be playing road games somewhere in the SEC West unless we see back to back games come into play.

Given the LSU AD's comment about not playing UGA or South Carolina, that may point to LSU and Tennessee playing in Baton Rouge since LSU is due a home game from an SEC East team and already plays Florida every year. That would leave Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina as likely candidates for a home game in Starkville.

Should be Mizzou or Vandy, I'd think...but we know that LT is going to take care of us**

We really need to flip flop an Arky/Auburn game with an LSU/Bama game to break those matchups up -- so we play one at home and one away every year rather than having "hard years" followed by "easy years"...

Agree that "this" needs to happen ...

BUT nearly every time we have done this in the past 50 years, we get the 'short' end of the stick by having to go on the road two years in a row. Seldom has it been the other way.

I bet we're going to still see some cases where a team plays another team twice in a row at home or on the road until they get to the point where every game against the permanent opponent in the other division is played at one division and every rotating game is at the other division. I'd say our rotating team could be anyone other than South Carolina or Tennessee. The SEC has done a terrible job of scheduling so far since the expansion to 14.

Dawgs travel to Bama, A&M, LSU, OM, GA, SC, FL

draw Tenn, Ark and Aub at home. Part of an experimental schedule LT volunteered us for.

We're actually going to play all 13 other SEC teams in 2014**

As long as we keep Kentucky as a permanent opponent, I'm good with it. That's 5 above average chances for wins with USM, USA, UAB and UTM. Auburn and Arkansas at home next in difficulty. Then probably Ole Miss on the road. Then aTm without Johnny. LSU and Bama on the road will be losses I'm sure. I guess the only thing up for grabs is the other East opponent.
