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. 

[Tuco Ramirez]

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.  Especially when it expands (soon). More risk losing a big non-con.

The 9th conference game should balance out the schedules and give everyone in the SEC more than enough in the strength of schedule department. 

This was also a weird year with the number of 10-2 teams. There were a lot of them.

Agreed. As a fan, I want entertainment. High profile non-con games is guaranteed entertainment. The possibility of making the playoffs is not guaranteed. So give me one more guaranteed fun game per year. Odds are we’ll win 50% of them, anyway. And if we do, it greatly increases our odds of making the playoff.

Still push Osu and michigan to the future when rules are changed and its a 16 team playoff. IF it stays as is, we are likely going to be in the same situation in 2026, 9-3 w/ great SOS(that committee doesn't give a F about).

That’d be great if this happened. 

[charlie990]

Play your big out of conference games in the playoff, not the first week or two of the year. Please. Notre Dame gotta go, more ASU-level P4 opponents. I also have season tickets, I don't care about these big games on the hottest day of the year hahah

[Weino]

To be fair they have Georgia Tech in their schedule, so this isn’t that big of a deal

We should schedule Rice every year and get some more cred for playing yet another "rival". Oh and convince them to move their home games to NRG.
