The conference schedule wasn’t the mistake, the conference expansion was the mistake.
Lane Kiffin took a not-so-subtle shot at the SEC 9 game schedule during Wednesday’s teleconference. He and I spoke briefly afterwards and he explained why.
A graphic shared in a group text among SEC coaches illustrated the inequities in scheduling among conferences.
“(The nine game schedule) was a poor decision,” Kiffin told me.
Texas has 7 remaining games against ranked opponents. Kiffin pointed out a Big 12 school with one ranked opponent and an ACC school with none.
“I understand money was involved for TV contracts, but where does that get you when you just add totally different schedules than anyone else plays?”
