5 SEC football coaches are really upset about the updated schedules

A group of SEC football coaches is upset with the revised schedule.

The SEC is one of the few conferences that remains set on playing college football this fall. There has been no indication of canceling the season and the conference has even released a revised schedule featuring zero non-conference games.

The plan is to play 10 total games. Each team will play all six opponents within its own division and then four from the other. The non-divisional total was initially set at two before two more games were added. These additional games apparently have a handful of SEC coaches angry, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo!.

Certain SEC coaches claim the process is unfair

The main gripe comes from what is seen as a bias toward the top teams in the SEC. For example, Alabama already had Georgia and Tennessee as their two non-divisional opponents. They added Kentucky and Missouri when Florida was available to choose from.

As for Missouri, they got both Alabama and LSU. Meanwhile, LSU added Missouri and Vanderbilt without having Georgia or Tennessee on the schedule.

And then there’s Arkansas who added Georgia and Florida. It wouldn’t be shocking if Arkansas coach Sam Pittman and Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz were among the handful of coaches upset with the revised schedule.

Fans from conferences who have seen seasons canceled won’t have much sympathy for these coaches. And ultimately, some teams were going to end up with tougher schedules. There are 14 SEC teams and each school will be playing 10 conference opponents. While a school like Alabama escapes facing Florida, they still have a tough game against Georgia.

Missouri also doesn’t have to face Auburn or Texas A&M and all the talent in the conference make it tough to come up with a schedule that works for everyone. Also, it is not the conference’s job to make life easier for certain teams.

The complaint is about the lack of a transparent process with the schedule. That is the same feeling held with coaches in the Big Ten who are upset about the entire season being canceled. These SEC coaches may just want to focus on getting better and proving their programs can indeed take down the best teams in the country.
