** Auburn's first 5 and 6 of their first 7 games are at home.

** Auburn does not travel beyond a contiguous state for a game in 2016.

** Massachusetts is the only non-SEC team that will play three SEC opponents in 2016 -- Mississippi State at home; South Carolina and Florida on the road. Middle Tennessee, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Southern Miss and Western Kentucky have two road games against SEC teams. Clemson has one SEC team at home (Auburn) and one away (USC).

** Mississippi State is the only SEC team with two non-conference road games against non-P5 teams -- MSU also plays at Brigham Young. The only other SEC team with a road game against a G5 team is Vanderbilt (at Western Kentucky).

** There are only 3 conference games in the SEC the weekend before Thanksgiving. Of the other 8 teams, 5 play FCS teams and 3 play G5 teams.

** Is scheduling Alcorn State in Little Rock Arkansas's way of saying they don't want to play any more games in Little Rock?

Florida's entire schedule is pretty soft, softer than I've seen in the last decade or so.

Haven't seen the schedules yet.

How many teams have bye weeks before they play us?

Who comes after our bye week?

What team has the most opponents with bye weeks before they play (a la Alabama with us and Tennessee this year)?

No SEC team has an open date the week before playing us. We are open before playing Alabama on 10/22. Three SEC teams play Florida after an open date: Arkansas; Georgia; Missouri.
