Moving on to 2026 - Next yr schedule compares: ND/Miami & Tex Tech are a joke

[Lnghrn]

Here is a breakdown of SEC Schools and # of top 20 teams each school plays

 

Here is Big 10, along with ND, Miami & Tx Tech.  ND & Miami are pathetic and Tx Tech is an absolute joke.  No Utah or BYU for Tx Tech's conference games next yr and non-conference games against Abilene Christian, At Oregon St, and Sam Houston.  There is such a huge disparity in SEC/Big 10 games vs. ACC & Big 12.  The SEC doesn't even include teams like LSU, Florida and Tennessee that could easily be top 20 next year based upon talent levels.  Texas has to play at LSU and Tennessee next year, and both are very difficult road environments. 

It will be interesting to see if Ohio St were to lose to Texas on the road next year and then if they were to lose 2 other games.  Will they get the Texas treatment?

We can control our OOC schedule. If we keep OSU on the schedule next year it’s our own fault.

Sark already said we would honor the 26/27 games against Ohio State and Michigan.

Almost looks like it would be an easier path to the playoff if we played in the Big 12 conference.  Wonder if they are accepting new schools…

You’d lose Sark and all SEC recruiting/culture building momentum with it.
