The boys at Rivals.com have a great conference preview for the SEC, including a look both at the most and least difficult schedules within the conference.
For it's part, Georgia was ranked as having the toughest SEC schedule this year, particularly given the Bulldogs games at LSU, at Florida, at Kentucky and at Auburn... back to back to back to back. No rest for the Dawgs in 2008, for sure.
The least difficult SEC schedule belongs to Urban Meyer and the Florida Gators. Team Tebow miss two of the SEC Wests best teams (Auburn and Alabama) completely and get LSU at home this season.
EASIEST SCHEDULE: Florida. "Easiest" is a relative term in the SEC. The Gators miss Alabama and Auburn, two of the three best teams in the SEC West. The toughest non-conference road game is against Florida State รข€“ which has scored 46 points in its past four games against Florida, all losses. Hawaii and Miami are on the schedule, but Hawaii will be way down from last season and UM has a ways to go to get back to elite status. The toughest conference road game is against Tennessee, a team UF beat by 39 last season. The Gators do play LSU and Georgia, but the Tigers have to play in the Swamp and the game against the Bulldogs is in Jacksonville. Mississippi State has the easiest schedule in the West. The Bulldogs don't play Florida or Georgia.
Of course, it's worth noting... there are no easy schedules in the SEC. I don't care who you play where, there are no easy games in the SEC. Not even against Vandy.
