"Something that was glossed over during this past college football offseason was Texas' schedule. With the college football world excited to see the Longhorns - as well as Oklahoma - join the Southeastern Conference it flew under the radar just how incredibly friendly Texas' schedule truly was."

" This past weekend, the Longhorns traveled to Nashville to take on Vanderbilt in what was their eighth game of the season. Texas had also already had its first bye week of the season as well, yet nine weeks into the campaign, the team's trip to Music City was their first true road game in the SEC."

"Nine weeks into the season, yet just one road test in the conference has "more than a handful" of athletic directors around the conference "furious," according to USA Today's Matt Hayes."

"If you think the league’s athletic directors aren’t happy about the gift road to the SEC championship game, the conference coaches are livid," Hayes wrote.

"I spoke to three coaches this week, and each not only confirmed the rift about the laughable schedule given to Texas in its inaugural season, but each also made sure to text Georgia coach Kirby Smart and thank him for making it perfectly clear that Texas may be a member of the conference — but Texas hasn’t come close to experiencing the conference."
