SEC games (who plays who where)

[JonathanW_rivals]

The way to view this is if you look down a column, those are the games that team will play at HOME, and if you look across a row those are the games that team will play AWAY.
The "W" or "L" is from the HOME team's perspective. An "x" means they will play, but haven't yet.

I only partially sort these, moving both the rows and columns if a team is 2 or more games out of place (for instance if UT loses it's next game, then I would drop them between Vandy and Texas).
After 60 conference games, the HOME team has won 37, 61.7%, which is close to the 63% of conference games Home teams win (across all conferences over many years).

Still weird that we don't play every team

 

[JonathanW_rivals]

I'm having nausea-inducing flashbacks to the math section of the SAT...

LOL, that's why there are people like me (Statistician / Mathematician)

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

That gave me a headache trying to figure out how to read that. I never did figure it out.

We do play every team! Just not every team twice obviously.

OK, I was reading it wrong. I'll need to go back and look at the schedule to find Texas and Oklahoma

 

[Tampa_cat54_rivals112262]

Yeah that chart is a bit confusing (but I applaud the effort it takes to make something like that).

We play @ Tex on Feb 15th and @ OU on Feb 26th.

Bummer that neither of the new teams are coming to Rupp.

Look at both the UK column (Home games) and the UK row (away games)

 

[JonathanW_rivals]

I really don't see how this is confusing to anyone. It is a way to visually see things like who has player most of their tougher (or easier) Home games, or the same for Away games.
For example, look at the UT column, and you will see that they have played 3 of their 5 easiest Home games (the bottom 5 home games shown), but have only played 1 of their 4 difficult Home games (the top 4).

It makes a lot more sense now that you edited your OP, lol.

Just saw where Auburn is 12-1 in Quad 1 games. The kind of season they are having, with as strong as the SEC is, if they don't win the title this year, Pearl may never win one. It's a really really good team, possibly great. They sure have done great up to this point of the season.

Lots can happen, but they look to be having as dominant a season as we did in 96, or in 12' when the SEC had good competition, but this years SEC is a totally different beast. It's not just one or two teams, but almost all of the teams in the conference are good this year. Most are REALLY good. It's great to see !

My only edit was to bold the first column

That made all the difference!
Thanks pal, just pulling your leg. Appreciate the info.

Here's a list of all the double opponents for each team:

Alabama: AU, UK, MSt
Auburn: AL, GA, OM
Arkansas: LSU, MU, TX
Florida: GA, SC, TN
Georgia: AU, FL, SC
Kentucky: AL, TN, VU
LSU: AR, OM, A&M
Mississippi State: AL, OM, SC
Missouri: AR, OU, VU
Oklahoma: MU, TX, A&M
Ole Miss: AU, LSU, MS
South Carolina: FL, GA, MS
Tennessee: FL, UK, VU
Texas: AR, OU, A&M
Texas A&M: LSU, OU, TX
Vanderbilt: UK, MU, TN

As I understand it two of those are permanent and one will rotate annually; is that correct?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I'm going to compile a list of all the double opponents for each team, but I need to work at the moment. Here's the start:

Alabama: AU, UK, MSt
Auburn: AL, GA, LSU
...
Kentucky: AL, TN, VU
...
Vanderbilt: UK, MU, TN

As I understand it two of those are permanent and one will rotate annually; is that correct?

I know tn and vandy are our permanent. The other will rotate.

Same with everyone.

 

[docholiday51]

From an SEC standing/Seeding standpoint I like our remaining games. I think we have the best chance to improve our standing relative to the teams who are just in front of us.

OK, think I got them all. Please feel free to check my work and note any corrections.

Yeah, and clearly Mizzou must be Vandy's rotating one. VU's core of UK + TN is perennially killer until the Vols come back down to earth. My condolences for missing on out the chance to feast on Stackhouse twice a year.

Imagine some year, (if the upper echelon SEC teams stayed the same) Vandy would get UT, UK and Auburn (or Alabama) as their 3 2-game opponents. Would suck to be Vandy!

I agree 100 %! (SEC Record ) We definitely play most of the lower part of the conference to finish the regular season.

Arkansas (1-6)
@ #23 Ole Miss (5-3)
South Carolina (0-8)
#8 Tennessee (4-4)
@Texas (3-5)
#24 Vanderbilt (4-3)
@ 4 Alabama (7-1)
@ Oklahoma (2-5)
#1 Auburn (7-1)
LSU (1-6)
@ #20 Missouri (5-2)

 

[Catapult_rivals218351]

Auburn has the easiest schedule as of the top 5 teams (us, them, Bama, EweTee and Fla), they only play Bama twice and get EweTee and Fla at home. JMHO.

 

[PhilipVU94]

Yeah... fortunately that would lead to a really good SoS which is supposed to just take care of itself on Selection Sunday.

This year feels like a milestone in the superconference era. There will likely be a 13th-place 6-12 SEC team that deserves in (maybe VU, maybe OU, maybe Texas...) and a media outcry focused entirely on the conference record. The committee isn't even supposed to treat it as two separate résumés now, so will they follow procedure or give in?

I miss playing Florida twice a year. That was a fun rivalry. I get why we kept UT and Vandy though.
