BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- The Southeastern Conference has unveiled its 2012 football schedule with its two newest members Missouri and Texas A&M opening play Sept. 8, and Alabama will visit LSU in a rematch of the Bowl Championship Series national championship Nov. 3.
Georgia gets by scot-free. NO LSU, Bama, OR Arkansas? How does that even happen?
Terribly disappointing, considering UGA is poised to be a Top 5 team next year. Even if they win the SEC next year, they'll have done so without having to play 2 of those 3 SEC West teams. (I think I'm right in assuming one of them will be in the SEC Championship game next season.) This could maybe get UGA frozen out of the title game if 2 or more powerhouse teams from different conferences run the table (USC, OU, etc. could both do it) next year.

those were my thoughts. They have a soft conference schedule next year. I can only hope USC improves on the gains made this past season.
