They also need to find a way to force the better teams to only schedule “real” games. No more powder puff games against weak opponents to make them look good. I feel sorry for the poor guys on the sacrificial lamb teams that get the crap knocked out of them for 60 minutes so their college can rake in big bucks.
Bullshit. SEC teams play aganst players who would start on any D1 team in the country. Every game is a “rivalry” game.
Since strength of schedule is one of the factors in ranking teams now, it actually doesn’t work in a team’s favor to schedule those games as much as it used to. With these conferences getting so big and with every major conference playing a championship game now, it’s impossible to finish a season undefeated or with one loss unless you’re beating a lot of pretty good teams.
