We've already played Georgia(#1), Ole Miss(#5/6) and still must play Texas and Tenn, both ranked in top 5. If those rankings hold up we will have played an entire fourth of our regular season schedule against top 5 teams. I wonder when that has ever happened before. That is a brutal schedule, but if we could win one or both of those remaining games, beat U of L, and win the games we'll be favored in, it would be a really good season, given how we bombed out against S. Car.
Top 5-6 ranked teams.

Yes, a hideous schedule, but one of great opportunities.
We’ve won the first of our “non winnable,” so, who knows?!?!

You make an excellent point !! Our schedule truly is BRUTAL !!
Not sure, but I THINK LSU played around nine (9) teams that were ranked in the TOP 20 when they won it all with Burrow.
In reality our schedule is just “another day in the SEC.”
Yes Mizzou pulled a “weak” schedule, but that won’t happen every year.
I think our schedule is essentially the same, next year. Having 3 of the 4 toughest at home might be a winning formula over the highly ranked.

Just looked at they played 9, 7, 9 and 3 in the regular season and 4, 4 and 3 in the postseason. Pretty damn impressive!
That same season (2019), Auburn played 11, 10, 5, 4 and 2 in the regular season. In the final rankings, they had played teams that finished the season ranked 8th, 6th, 5th, 4th and 1st.
Yep. Florida plays Tennessee, Georgia, Texas and Ole Miss too....and they have Miami OOC.
Agree. Florida has / had the gauntlet of a schedule. That in itself didn't do Napier any favors. Especially with having Miami being so good this year. On the plus side, they got FSU in a "down" year. Imagine if they was having the season they was suppose to have. The ole saying "no matter how bad you have got it, someone always has it worse" is so true in UK's case, not sure it could get any tougher in Florida's case.
Florida schedule with notable games :
Texas A&M
Miami
Tenn.
UK
Georgia
Texas
LSU
Ole Miss
FSU (lucky they are down)
They have UCF this week.

I like it. It makes us tough. If we somehow won out or just loss one more ....we'd make playoff because of the schedule.
3 losses can be absorbed if you beat Tennessee or Texas at their place.
If you win the next 3 plus take down Tennessee UK will be ranked inside the top 10.
Next week win would rank us. Vandy.
The next we move to 20. Florida.
Next is 16. Auburn.
Then Tennessee. Beat em' and UK is #10.
Win murray state game your up to #7-#8.
Then Texas. Lose and your #11,#12 or win and be #5.
Beat Louisville at home and we are in at #10.
That's the road folks. Its sets up nice. Must beat Tennessee or Texas plus win all others.

Ha! It just seems like yesterday that LSU and Florida were complaining how unfair it was being permanent rivals in divisional play. Now, with the expanded SEC and no divisions, tough schedules are the norm. I like it.
