I think we lost some talented people but overall improved the staff. It will be interesting to see who is responsible and to what degree in preparing game plans and performing gameday roles.
So, this year we would lose Clemson, Ole Miss, Pitt, Miami and UGa from the schedule. No play between divisions would be the only way to count games on an equal basis.
Then you're probably aware of that crazy Sewanee schedule one year when they played 3 0r 4 teams in a week. And won! I came along a little after you , but they still had a strong academic reputation.
Just about everybody had a "different" offense when they played Clemson! ;) And, as the year advanced, Clemson had a different defense due to injuries.
Back in the 50s, UGA would play night games at Grant Field as part of a doubleheader. Tulane as a charter member, did not leave the sec until 2 years after Tech. Sackerliner did not join the sec for almost 30years, as they were members of the ACC through 1971.
The stadiums in MS were less than half the size of Grant Field. Also, Tech was playing 8 sec schools every year while others were playing a few lessthaan 8. IIRC Tech played the afternoon games and uga played at night.
