Another Home and Home Cancelled

[CJ Vogel]

Georgia cancels two scheduled series for the future.

The first is Georgia and Louisville set for 2026 and 2027. Then the Georgia and NC State series which was much further down the road was cancelled as well.

This of course comes on the heels of Alabama cancelling its series with USF in 2026.

Still, Texas remains scheduled to play Ohio State in 2026, Michigan in 2027, and Notre Dame in 2028-29.

We MUST cancel Notre Dame.

This will continue as long as strength of schedule remains a myth. Leave it to piggy to ruin college football.

Agree - Ohio St. and Michigan make sense to keep because that's the return trip to Austin so Texas wants to reap the cost benefits, however Notre Dame not the same situation.  Right now, only Notre Dame gets credit whether they win or not, Texas would be punished for losing but not really gain anything winning the game.

Don't worry Notre Dame will do it for us.

I’m ok scheduling Arkansas State or Tarleton State instead of ND. If strength of schedule means nothing, get the win.

Well done lol

What if you have a weak SEC schedule one year, lose to the top SEC teams you play, and go 10-2 with no good OOC win?  That’s essentially what happened to Vanderbilt.  They had no argument against a team like Oklahoma who happened to have a strong SEC schedule.  If Vanderbilt had played and beaten Notre Dame they would be evaluated a lot different relative to OU.

No P4 team should schedule ND until they join a conference

What is the cost benefit if a loss keeps us out of the playoffs?

With a 9 game SEC schedule next year 2 conference losses will be common.

Vanderbilt was the victim of Vanderbilt imho. They scheduled VT when they were bad and VT was good not their fault. No one really wanted Vandy in because they’re literally the only SEC team with a fan base that doesn’t care or travel like the rest.

SEC branding as the top tier conference has a lot of sway (i.e. Aggie). We wouldn't be penalized much. More risk losing a hig non-con.
