The SEC is going to see some major changes to its schedule once the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners join the conference as the league moves to a nine-game conference schedule. And while that schedule hasn’t even been released yet, Nick Saban has already complained about what it might look like for his Alabama Crimson Tide. But Auburn coach Hugh Freeze isn’t taking that same approach.
When asked about his response to the potential scheduling changes, given Saban’s outrage, Freeze said that he’s not worried about it because it’s not something you can control.
“Have they decided the format yet?” Freeze said according to On3. “I’m of the make up if I can’t control, it’s probably not worth me worrying about. I have zero control and I trust John Cohen and Dr. Roberts. They’re sitting in those meetings and they’re going to do the best they can to do what’s best for Auburn University.”
Freeze also said that when you play in the SEC, you expect a difficult schedule no matter what.
“We all knew coming into this league when we took these jobs that you’re going to have a hard schedule. Some of us have it harder than others and are used to that. It is what it is and me complaining about it or worrying about it certainly is not going to help us prepare for it. It is what it is. If you ask me after they’ve decided on the format, I probably could tell you who I’d like for our crossovers to be but it’s probably not going to be those. It’s just really not worth me worrying about it.”
We’ll have to see what the new schedules look like once they’re made official.
