logan adams 333 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I realize we're still in the middle of the 2016 season, but I was just glancing over our schedule next year, and HOLY COW. That may be the most difficult schedule that I've seen us have, maybe ever? Again, people,please don't comment "Let's focus on this year first." No kidding, I'm just saying that our schedule next year is absolutely no joke. Sept. 2: Georgia SouthernSept. 9: at ClemsonSept. 16: MercerSept. 23: at MissouriSept. 30: Mississippi StateOct. 7: Ole MissOct. 14: at LSUOct. 21: at ArkansasOct. 28: OpenNov. 4: at Texas A&MNov. 11: GeorgiaNov. 18: ULMNov. 25: Alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,332 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I don't really see that schedule being that hard. We have Miss. State, Ole Miss, Georgia, and Bama at home. 89% of our offensive production this year is from freshmen and sophomores so they will be back next year. Clemson will lose their whole offense and their DT's to the draft this year. The only away game to watch for it Texas A&M in my opinion. With the direction our team is in, that schedule does not make me wince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the fact that we play Mississippi State, Ole Miss, @LSU, @Arkansas, @Texas A&M, and then Georgia with only one bye week to separate those meetings. That's harsh.

It was worse when Auburn used to place their bye week right before Alabama which meant every other game before that was back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't have a bye in that stretch, then I'd be extremely worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 9,091 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If LSU makes the splash hire we all expect them to, then this schedule might be harder than 2014 Auburn. Until then, IDK about being the hardest I've ever seen. Getting Alabama at home or away always puts any Auburn schedule into perspective honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn under Gus struggles in Baton RogueOct. 21: at Arkansas - Arkansas will be good next year "said every year"Oct. 28: OpenNov. 4: at Texas A&M - depends on qb play. probably need another transfer or JC since all the young guns have leftNov. 11: Georgia - better in year 2 with Kirby. Eason will be coming on and the D should be betterNov. 18: ULMNov. 25: Alabama - Bama gonna be Bama Playoff game in Pasadena and Championship game in Atlanta would be kewl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, 3 of our toughest games next year are the same as 3 of our toughest games this year, except all 3 of those teams will likely see their QBs drafted between now and then. Meanwhile, we'll be returning well over half our offensive production, including our QB. Still very difficult next year, but not like this year.

AU64 10,122 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Considering where the SEC West is these days.....it looks to me as if there will never be anything other than a tough schedule.....though maybe it just gets tougher when Vandy and Missouri are behind us...and we pick up UF and UT as our East games.....but we just swap three very difficult road games for 3 other very difficult road games on alternate years.

Granted, our offense didn't look the best that night. Regardless, Miami played a totally crap schedule that year. If memory serves, the only ranked team they played that year was Florida (who we beat easily) and they got run out of the stadium. The ultimate insult was that not only were we not awarded the championship, but we stayed third behind Nebraska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
