I can't imagine many non-SEC teams have played back-to-back top 10 SEC opponents.

Isn't this our 3rd top ten SEC opponent in a row. Surely there are a decent amount of non-SEC conference teams to have faced 2 too 10 SEC opponents in a row.

Yes it is, but it is an anomaly.

Not many teams play 3 consecutive games against non-conference opponents from the same conference.

I'd like to see when the last time a team played two top 10 SEC teams in a single season. That'd be interesting.

True. I think we're one of the few teams in the nation with a locked-in SEC opponent (Georgia Tech, FSU and Louisville being the others--though it's not like Kentucky has ever been good).
I just did a tid-bit of research and Florida State has played 2 top-10 SEC teams twice (3 times if you include A&M, but it was 1991, so I didn't). In 1990, they lost @ #5 Auburn and then beat #6 Florida. In 1998 they beat #4 Florida and then lost to #1 Tennessee.
Other than that, I think you'll be hard-pressed to see a team who has played two Top 10 SEC teams in a year. We have the chance to do that this year with UGA and South Carolina.

My guess is one of the smaller schools like Troy or LA-Monroe might have played 2 top 10 SEC schools in a season.

Yea that's true, but I wasn't counting them haha.
I guess I'm aiming more towards the "who has played them in an attempt to be competitive" rather than "we'll give you $500,000 to come to Baton Rouge to get your faces kicked in"

In CMR's coaching era with FSU and UGA, he's faced CU 10 times. He's 10-0......

two straight top-10 losses, to the hands of 1 team, (from the acc no less), is only the beginning of the end. yeah, it was just a little scheduling snafu, they will look to fix this, i am sure.

That's not true. Florida State has a history of playing Auburn in the early-mid 90s, we've got a rivalry with Georgia which was put on pause for awhile, and Alabama has regularly played teams like Penn St.
The irrational hatred towards the SEC here is getting to be a bit much. Yes, ESPN overhypes them, but this isn't some conference which ESPN babied into power. They became the most powerful conference and then ESPN has ridden that success.

Not surprising. Do you know how rare it is for a team to

face two out of conference top ten teams, both from the same conference, on the schedule consecutively? Let alone winning both of those games. That has nothing to do with the SEC. It's super rare to even schedule like that, and if you do, then you have to face two top 10 teams and win both of them.
