What do you think?

"It gives them a massive advantage
That is infinitely more of a disadvantage than what Klatt is ranting about.

We should all be playing some semblance of a structure of a schedule."
TCU, Ohio State, USC are banged up. USC ends the year @ UCLA, Notre Dame and Oregon.

I feel gross for this, but Bama just finished a stretch of @Tenn, @LSU, Miss State, @Ole Miss.

At least one.

I know. UAB players are actually fast.

That extra OOC game props up the entire conference. They all get an extra rent a win.
If Klatt, the Big Ten, and their other apologists really thought that was the solution to the SEC’s post season dominance over the last 20 years they could/would easily modify their own scheduling policies. As usual, they are simply grasping at straws to excuse the fact that the SEC simply dominates them when it matters.

If the Big Ten played a cupcake weekend late Klatt would say it's a much needed break because it's more physical than the SEC. He's a shill clown.

Ohio State played Notre Dame in their first game.

They aren't TCU, Ohio State, or USC.
Anything else?

Based on results neither does Northwestern

Amazing how Big Ten fans continue to reach when it comes to explaining why the SEC continually dominates them. ??????

Gotcha. So you agree that the SEC’s overall SOS is better than the Big Ten and the latest “but it ain’t fair that they play cupcakes late in the year” is just the latest deflection by Klatt and actual Big Ten fans to avoid admitting the SEC is and has been the dominant conference for the last two decades.

Ok, lil buddy. I’m sure in your world you always are.

Doesn't the SEC usually play conference games earlier in the schedule than the rest of the Power 5? And nothing is stopping the other conferences from the same scheduling.

You don't seem to understand. There are no "Big Ten fans". We root for our own teams and hope the others burn in hell. We don't dickride which is rampant in your conference.

That may have been the case but I don't think it is now. Ohio State opened at Minnesota last year.

If it was up to me scrub games like that would not be allowed after Sept 30 but they could just as easily take a bye week 
It is beyond lame the SEC plays a those games this late but it predates the playoff. The Iron Bowl was played the week before Thanksgiving for a while until the SEC put in a rule you couldn’t have an off week the week before the SECCG

maybe, but teams like bama and AU are still going to schedule cupcakes the week before the iron bowl. It's just how they set their schedule. And I have no issue with it.
Yeah and why wouldn’t we. In 2017 we had to play uga twice and Bama in a 4 week span and had to win them all to make the playoffs. Those two played for the natty that year. Somehow we need to play another conference game in between those?
Let us end the year with Colorado, ucla, Arizona st and Stanford and then I’m sure we will be glad to play our cupcakes earlier in the year
It is really weird to me that people get so up in arms about the schedule and when teams play other teams
