Last year, the SEC mandated that all of its member football programs, beginning in 2016, must schedule at least one out-of-conference power five opponent - that is, an opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big XII, or Pac 12, along with eligible independents - every season. Almost right away, SEC athletics directors scrambled to schedule home-and-home or one-off neutral site games against other big conference opponents. This gave us some series and games that we wouldn't have been fortunate to look forward to otherwise, such as series against Pac 12 teams or the ever popular season opener in an NFL stadium.
