This week's SEC out of conference slate

Brought to you by NASCAR and Billy Bob's moonshine

Ole Miss vs. Presbyterian (Oral Roberts, Episcopalian, and Seventh Day Adventist said no)

Mississippi St. vs. UT-Martin

So they can rest their starters for a half and then get back to their EIGHT game conference schedule

Why does it matter if you play a retard in November instead of September?

At least they'll take a hit in the poles for doing this.

It will affect them just as much as Oregon's victory over South Dakota affected them.

They should promote the top 4 SEC West teams to become the new NFC South division.

Getting these shitty games out of the way early would be ideal.

Can't we all just be excited for Bama-LSU???

Probably, but still...A late season cupcake looks worse than a preseason cupcake.

No, it actually looks intelligent because it's basically a bye week heading into the gauntlet.

It's intelligent to give themselves a rest. But it's not clever enough to pull the wool over the rest of the nation's eyes. Late season cupcakes look bad and deserve punishment, if everyone else is playing legitimate teams that time of year.

The WSJ had an article earlier this week that said college football fans are the biggest shit eaters ever (paraphrased).

It is the shortest season ... with the entire first month it is all big school vs. little sisters of the poor ... then conference games start and we get Oregon vs. Washington or anyone vs. WSU ... basically we get one good game a week and one or two worth it bowl games.

In theory you are right. In reality, NO(that matters)GAF .

Why? September is unwatchable without SEC conference games.

Why?

The committee is looking at the entire body of work. It doesn't matter when you play your cupcake.

I guess. Seems like it might be that way.

Miss State didn't play anybody until week 4. Their non conference schedule was worse than UW's.

Southern Miss
UAB

UT-Martin

Their TUFFest OOC game was a Sun Belt team that started football in 2009 and became DI-A last year.

I didn't realize Mississippi State was the only team in the SEC.

Because 9 > 8

That's a different (and relevant) topic.

However, as long as the Pac-12 always gives its teams at least one Big Sky school (WSU, Colorado) on the schedule, is the nine conference game thing really a strong point for the Pac-12?
