I don't think so. Eleven of our 18 games are against teams from the top half of the SEC last season, leaving 7 games against the bottom seven. We also play Bama, OM and Mizzou twice - teams who won 10 or more SEC games.

Do we play South Carolina 4x this year?

Who knows? Basketball is going to be even more random from year to year with the portal and NIL.

Hard to continue basing next year on last year in the current college game. Ole Miss and A&M were top half teams last year, not expected to be that this year. The opposite for Arkansas and maybe Vandy.

Early early early predictions on the SEC seem to have some tiers-
Top 3: Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky
4-6: Arkansas, Bama, Auburn
7-9: Missouri, Texas, Vandy
10-13: State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, UGA
14-16: A&M, LSU, South Carolina


1:3 We go on the road to Florida and Kentucky, but we aren't winning those two games no matter where they are played. If we have a shot against one of those three teams, it's UT and we get them at home.

4-6: We get all three of them at home with an additional road trip to Tuscaloosa. Please Jans, please don't be 0-7 against these top two tiers.

7-9: Two with Missouri, on the road at Texas with a new coach, and Vandy at home. That's about as good as you could ask for, not having to go to Nashville, and having Sean Miller's first SEC game.

10:13 Three home games with a trip to Oxford tacked on. If this is truly our tier, we want to have these games at home and need to win them (duh).

14:16 All on the road. But if this is the bottom of the league, go beat them at their places and maybe they are Quad 2 games or even better.

All in all I would have to say it's pretty favorable. We might even have a shot to get off to a strong start given the competition. Problem is, every other team in the league is looking at their schedule and either counting us as a win or a game that they need to win. There won't be many easy nights in the SEC.

Considering I hardly even know the players on our team, I shouldn’t be called upon to judge the fruit basket turnover that is the league as a whole.

From looking at the HailState site, it looks like even the school doesn't know the players on our team yet.

That was well done, thanks for putting it together. My favorite sport and looking forward to seeing how we do and the other wall to wall CBKB every night of the week.

I predict a 12-1 start that will give everybody overly high expectations. We'll lose 1 we shouldn't and win 1 we're not expected to that will highly contribute to the false hopes. We'll then go just above .500 in first half of SEC play before everyone's hopes getting crushed by going well under .500 in the second half of the season leading us to just scraping into the tournament after being first team out in all the smart prognosticators opinions and we'll draw a team we should easily beat in the 1st round but will get handily defeated when some random player scores 30 against us after having not even touched 20 on any other games the entire season....... Sound familiar?
