re: BYU wants a Notre Dame-like exception as a quality non-conference game

are they really though?

They consider themselves a P5 level school. Given that, looking at their '15 schedule and they only have two P5 games on it (and both are in Sept). Their '16 schedule right now has 3 (again, all in Sept). '17 is mostly filled and they again only have 2 Sept P5 games.

They need more to be taken seriously and they particularly need late season games vs good competition. The SEC can provide both because we have OOC slots in all months (most other conferences don't).

So yes, I'd say they are definitely struggling to schedule and they'd probably bend over backwards to work with the SEC.
