Straight stretch I agree it is brutal.

Oklahoma #2. I'm not surprised.

We always have a top 10 schedule because we will go play AT places like Alabama, Oregon, Notre Dame, Florida State, Miami, UClA, etc. Those are some pretty good OOC road games over the past decade.

Even some of the other teams we have played like Fresno State, Cincy, Air Force, TCU, BYU, etc. aren't bad.

I love my school's formula. Open up with a WAC or C-USA team, play a good "mid-major" type team (BYU), and then play a traditional power. It's a lot more fun than the crap I see when I watch LSU beat the hell out of the Citadel or something.

I think Kentucky has the clear #1 hardest schedule by a long shot.

Kentucky
vs Louisville (11-2 Sugar bowl)
vs Florida (11-2 Sugar bowl)
@ S. Carolina (11-2 Outback bowl)
vs Alabama (13-1 National champs)
@ Miss St (8-5 Gator bowl)
@ Vandy (9-4 Music City bowl)
@ Georgia (12-2 Capital One bowl)

Florida
@ Miami (7-5 no bowl)
@ LSU (10-3 Chick-fil-A bowl )
vs Georgia (12-2 Capital One bowl)
@ Vandy (9-4 Music City bowl)
@ S. Carolina (11-2 Outback bowl)
vs FSU (12-2 Orange bowl)

The problem with your logic is that every team isnt the same as it was last year. All of those teams lost players and gained new ones. And we play half the same teams.

The teams that arent the same are
Kentucky plays: Alabama, Miss St., and Louisville

Florida plays: Miami and FSU.

Its pretty close, so I dont know what they have Kentucky's strength of schedule as, but Im sure its top 10.

I would give the edge to Kentucky when it comes to harder SEC schedule, when you look at where the bye weeks fall. Florida has a higher overall quality of opponent top to bottom, but they also get timely bye weeks. 6 of 1, 1/2 dozen of another.

At Oregon. At Florida. Back-to-back. Yeah, that's going to be fun.
