You get a break before your rival/CFP but you also get less prep to work things out before conference play starts. I don’t understand why people are consistently retarded about acknowledging the latter
At least the SEC has fixed the late season cupcake week

So a normal Week 3 non conference schedule?

Good. Conference Championship Games are dumb and nothing more than TV money grab.
I’d rather have a 10 game conference schedule with more balanced conference scheduling and crowning a regular season champion than a Conference Championship with the unbalanced scheduling we currently have.

Has it dawned on you that this means there will be weeks mid to late season those SEC teams are playing cupcakes while almost nobody in the big ten is?
Yes. I'm aware that every SEC team is going to play 2 cupcakes at some point in the season. But there's going to be other compelling matchups that week, so when Bama, Auburn, and Ole Miss are playing cupcake games in November, they still have LSU vs Tennessee, Oklahoma vs A&M, and UGA vs USCe the same week.
My criticism of the B1G scheduling is that they lumped an entire week full of cupcake games so that the B1G TV lineup this week is going to be absolutely atrocious.

Outside of Week 1, which was on par with the B1G, the SEC does not have a Conference slate as horrendous as the B1G’s week 3.
The SEC has kind of fixed that late season cupcake week and has spread out a lot of the cupcake games throughout the season, and it’s only the Alabama / Mississippi schools having the late season cupcake games in the week before Iron Bowl and Egg Bowl.
It’s odd to see the B1G just sacrifice an entire weekend of TV ratings with this garbage slate in week 3.

The Big Ten has historically played its non-conference games the first three weeks of the season. It's common for SEC teams to play non-conference foes in October and November. The big ten just hasn't done that.
They have always preferred a straight slate of 8 or 9 conference games in a row.
When Notre Dame would play Michigan, Purdue, and Michigan State in the same season it was often the first games of the season in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

It seems like Ohio State plays Ball State and Kent State literally every year. They love to play Toledo a lot too

I don’t think they care that much. It won’t change their enormous TV deal.
Just the way the schedules broke. It’s not like the league is setting this up, the ADs are the ones doing OOC. Iowa hardly ever plays a league game in one of their first 3. Since the move to 9, it goes cupcake-Iowa state-cupcake-conf opener. Since 2016, they’ve only played a league game in the 1st 3 games twice.

Why not? There are several MAC schools out of Ohio. If you’re going to offer a lamb a payday to be slaughtered, keep the money in state and subsidize your own publicly funded universities.

well at least Sankey was able to allow Alabama and Auburn to have that penultimate week with cupcakes. At least Auburn's is instate.

whats crazy is its terrible again next week. outside of the SEC everyones schedule has been terrible but bet they still complain when game day goes to another sec game
i guess they could go to oregon usc the 26th but man, terrible scheduling.

Don’t think the SEC needs to throw shade about soft out of conference schedules.
Posted on 9/17/26 at 10:27 am to Milk
I think the the three 7:30 games should all be decent watches.
The rest not so much.
I'll actually miss the SEC cupcake games being in November b/c that was when A&M did senior day and let most of the dudes get on the field who would otherwise never play.

So does USC and Rutgers.
Yeah, I had no idea how bad Rutgers would be this season. They lost to freaking UMass. USC does have a lot of players out. QB1 Maiava has a shoulder injury so I doubt he'll play Saturday, and our most exciting player this season so far, FR WR Trent Mosely, is out indefinitely. But if USC's 2nd and 3rd string players aren't good enough to match what UMass did against Rutgers, the Trojans have no business being ranked. I believe the strategy is rest everybody for Oregon, and beat the crap out of the Ducks at the Coli.

Better off watching State - So. Car. in during that 3:30 slot and any other game on the rest.

Directional Michigans are a tough out for them. They'll need cheating replay officials.

What’s even wilder is the schools are paid more than the SEC. I can’t believe CBS pays them $350 million and from I know they get the third pick of each weeks contest.
