SEC’s toughest league schedules by opponent winning percentage since 2000

Does five-time division champ Georgia really have the easiest road to Atlanta? Is Alabama’s schedule the most favorable by SEC West standards?

Courtesy of a Reddit researcher, here are the results for each team’s league opponents’ combined winning percentage since the turn of the century. Texas A&M and Mizzou began SEC play in 2012, but the toughness of each program’s SEC schedules have differed greatly.

Only six teams have played opponents with a combined a conference winning percentage above 50 and the top four reside in the West.
