And Ole Miss with LSU OU and us. I?d be mad if I was them. They aren?t gonna be as good as the past 5 years when Kiffin leaves.

Agree. Drawing OU yearly would have to suck. We?ve been losing to Bama so long I don?t even worry about that game anymore, but they look incredibly mortal now. Really thought OM might get them. SEC must be trying to pencil in a win for them by scheduling us.

I really think when Kiffin leaves they come back to earth. They?re also good for some sort of scandal every 10 years so they are due. Yeah their schedule could be brutal

Kiffin may not leave. The E60 is going to change some opinions on him constantly looking for other jobs. Also, he doesn't scare me. He was gifted Corral and got lucky with Dart falling into their lap. A multi year starter at QB is unheard of in this era and it allowed them to spend at other positions. They now are going to have to either A. Roll with Simmons and hope things get better or B. Spend 7 figures at the QB position for the next couple of years until they can recruit or develop a HS guy.

True but I think Florida puts the full court press on him this year

I don't think it'll matter. Right now Florida is not a better job than what he has at Ole Miss. Is it a better job than Ole Miss if both jobs are open? Absolutely. Can Florida give Kiffin the power and autonomy he has within the program at Ole Miss? Not a chance. Kiffin has power over how NIL is distributed. The boosters are in lock step with whatever he wants to do. There's no he's got to do this or that to get money. They just cut the check. Florida would have none of that.

I?m shocked we got Alabama but I?ll take it. Vandy should be a win each year, Ole Miss a toss up, Alabama we should win every 3 or 4 years now that Saban is gone.

Have you not paid attention to Vandy the last couple of years? If they can sustain their play after this QB is gone (Big IF), and we are still trying to build and win consistently, this too will be a tossup, but that being said, glad we got them permanently. Hail State!

BTW, although he is connected, this is a prediction by Chris Lowe. Official announcement tomorrow.

It?s Vandy. They will have the exact same trajectory as when Franklin left.

It actually makes sense to play the 3 teams they have as our main 3 every year. Not having Saban at Bama at least makes the game not as bad as previous years. UGA, aTm and Texas are actually more scary to me in the NIL era. Vandy will come back down to earth a bit next year without Pavia, but as long as Kill is there it will be a tough game. Kill has a lot of health problems and I don't see him wanting to be a full time head coach again, even though I am convinced Lea has him running the show without the title. And LOL @ our fans who are still convinced Kiffin is leaving Ole Miss. He will only leave if he decides he wants a NFL job or possibly Bama or Texas or Ohio State but that is about it. Instead of sticking our heads in the sand and hoping Kiffin leaves, we need to keep improving and funding NIL and modeling off what they did. The verdict is still out on Lebby, but it is possible he could really be a good coach and learned a lot from Kiffin and Heupel.

Some really odd combos. OM getting OU is strange. We fit with Aub. Aub got a tough draw - we are their easy win and past 15 years been what only 50%.

Just trying to balance schedules. Florida and Tennessee came out looking good, but overall I think they balanced it pretty well.

They will reevaluate every 4 years.

So we keep the Egg Bowl. No surprise there.
And then get post Saban Alabama and Vanderbilt?
Pretty happy with that draw overall.

They considered geography way more than expected.

If we start beating them some we'll see how lockstep they are with him.

Dog fans have been saying he is leaving for years......it appears he is quite happy there, his kids apparently love it, and all the money, m***s, and total authority is in his hands.....he has already been in striking distance of the CFP.........he isn’t going anywhere soon. Better learn to beat him while he is there.....

Not gonna lie. I like it! Since I moved from Central Mississippi to North Central Alabama, Nashville and Tuscaloosa are easy drives. I never go to Oxford(Sardis without the Lake) anyway, so I'll get to see 10 of the 12 games over the next 4 years with these 3 teams in person. Unless Jesus Returns for His Church of course! 🙏🙏

State v Bama is one of the oldest played games in CFB history if I recall. It feels right and honestly now there is no dodging hard games in this conference

Did I see the schedules correctly that the egg bowl will be early in the schedule and not last game? If so they have screwed up college football even more.

If you're referring to the list on SEC Now, then no. They said the games were not in order. Everyone's 3 permanents were at the top of the list of 9 for each season.

Why, we were never not getting Bama. Just glad they balanced it out with Vandy, i was anticipating Ark or UK.

Yeah I have fully come around to this. Historically we have been a much better program from 2009 to now. Unfortunately that just also lined up to them getting Saban. I think we could win 1 every 3 years pretty regularly

I?ll take it. Bama ain?t Bama anymore. Vandy is Jerry Kill and Diego Pavia. Pavia is gone after this year and Kill might be too. Kill will probably be looking to get another P4 job. There will be several openings.

I think Barton Simmons is doing some really good work for Vandy right now as their GM in charge of player acquisition. He has been a player evaluator and recruiting guru for 20 plus years and does a helluva job putting a competitive roster together.

Having said that, I see only KY on their level after Diego Pavia leaves but they are not the same ol' Vandy.
