And the last two of the 8 are against teams that will both have had the week off. Brutal.
Reminiscent of the 2009 season when Bama was playing their 5th consecutive SEC game and 8th consecutive week against Tennessee with them having played but 3 SEC games previously and had the week off before the game with Bama. Barely ended well.
A closer look at all teams regarding this issue reveals that the Roy Kramer influence on SEC scheduling is still alive and well. Little question that Bama and UK are ut's largest rivals.
We are all aware that 6 schools have open dates prior to playing Bama in 2015 and that 3 took the week off and 3 scheduled cupcakes. Next on the list is, you guessed it, UK with 5. No other school has more than 3.
Need I tell you that at the bottom of the list, along with Ark, is ut with just one!? MO plays BYU the week prior to their game with ut. All other ut SEC opponents were scheduled (by the SEC) a conference game.
And why is Arkansas there in 2015 with ut with just one also? Roy Kramer SEC Schedule Rule #1-Do anything that will help ut. Roy Kramer SEC Schedule Rule #2-Do anything that will hurt Bama. What West Division team in 2015 has the best chance to knock Bama out of the West Division Championship if they have a little help with the schedule? Atm plays Nevada the week prior to their game with Arkansas. All other Arkansas SEC opponents were scheduled (by the SEC) a conference game.
