Interesting scheduling tweet
-
If those conference teams took the weekly conference beatings like SEC teams, they wouldn't do it either. The SEC is smart.
-
Half of those other conference's p5 games are nothing more than glorified g5 games.
-
Since the SEC has won 7 of the last ten NC that doesn't mean shit. Maybe they should be the ones taking notes.
-
I wish all P5 programs either only played other P5 programs or only had 1 slot for non-P5 programs.
-
Some P5 games are a little stiffer than others. Bad post is bad 7.
-
Not all P5 programs are the same. "If counting BYU as a P5 program..." is dead giveaway.

Alabama ain't the whole conference. I'm sure lots of programs could have 5 natties if they had the absolute best CFB coach in the modern era, probably ever, and that coach coached a roster of unprecedented talent according to crootin' rankings.
Look, sec is the best conference but playing the least number of meaningful games in the regular season is pretty shameful. Is playing Boston college any worse than playing Kentucky or ole miss or vandy many years?

Meh, every conference has garbage in the bottom quarter or bottom third of the league. Maybe vandy is marginally better than Maryland but neither should be a threat to the bama's or Ohio st's of the CFB world.
Even the middle of the sec has definitely dropped off from the peak of the late 00s and early 10s.

And what will you say when we're stuck playing the top end p5 programs because the SEC teams with more money buy the games with the lesser p5 teams. The SEC playing more P5s doesn't help us or the conference.

We don't play the least number of meaningful games. The OOC games we play count the same as OOC games other teams play. It doesn't matter if your patsies are Power 5 of G5, it matters that they are patsies.

I kinda feel partial to these numbers:
CFP/BCS Records by Conference
SEC 15-5 (2 losses to SEC Programs)
Err Body else 12-21
The ACC is the 2nd most successful conference at 5-5...

2018
Conf - #CFP Team
ACC - #1 Clemson
Big 12 - #2 Oklahoma
SEC - #3 UGA
At Large - #4 Bammer
Big Ten - #5 Ohio State
Pac 12 - #8 USC
3-UGA/6-USC vs 2-Okie
4-Bammer/5-Ohio State vs 1-Clemson
In short, Bammer beats Clemson then UGA... I like it.

Every conference has garbage at the bottom. The difference is between the SEC and other conferences is the middle. The SEC is as top heavy as I can ever remember it being, and the drop off is huge compared to most years, and we are still probably competitive with the other Power 5 team by team. Take out the top four of the SEC this year (hopefully that's Bama/UGA/Aub/MSU) and you will have some order of UF/A&M/USCe/UK/MIzzou/LSU filling out the next four. Does that look worse than the 5th through 8th team of any other conference this year?

Just to compare the average FPI of the Top 4, Middle 4, Next 4, the restt, if applicable
SEC - 6.75, 23.25, 44.25, 68
Big10 - 8.5, 29, 58.5, 74
ACC - 13.75, 32.5, 47.25, 63.5
Pac 12 - 14.5, 35.5, 70.25
Big 12 - 17.75, 38.5, 66 (only two in last group)
Preseason FPI is obviously not the best way to compare, but since it largely relies on the previous years results, I think it's probably decent. Basically the Big 10 can complain if they are playing a much harder OOC schedule than SEC teams, but for the other conferences, they either get a break at the top or a break at the bottom, or in the case of the Pac 12, both.

How does Arkansas only play 8 P5 teams? Every SEC team is supposed to play 9. Eight SEC games and 1 OOC P5.

I am guessing they already had schedule limitations when the rule was announced and they appropriately told the SEC to 17 off. What we should have done rather than having 6 home games in 2016 although I'm not sure how much of that was trying to fit BYU in versus us just getting bitin the ass by Lonnie Tinkle's stupid contract with Tulane.

I think they had a P5 school lined up for this year that backed out on them.

Ole Miss doesn't count as a P5 school vs them
