I figured the 9 game SEC slate was a bargaining chip, maybe it's time.

It's definitely a bargaining chip.  The SEC isn't going to move to a 9-game schedule until Disney is willing to pay for it.

Lots of fun made of the 8 game SEC schedules, with the creampuff OOC game in November.

Anybody going to mention that the SEC SOS are still rated more difficult than the B1G 9 game conference schedule?

My own preference is for each P5 team to schedule at least ten other P4 teams in a regular season.

Two pastries.

It’s probably a bad idea, unless someone pays them to do it.

Agreed. Even though my team probably would have gone 0-12 this year if we'd even scheduled an FBS pastry instead of the FCS pastry we beat.

As long as whatever games include an autobid instead of being a "data point," then sounds good to me. It definitely makes more sense to reward the best teams instead of making them play more.

The older I get, less I sort of care about that.

in terms of quality, the top of the FCS blends somewhat with the bottom of FBS. a large proportion of Fans can’t tell the difference, and most competent teams should treat them about the same way.

Granted, I have less animosity toward that part of the schedule than most.

Not many teams are scheduling the top of FCS when they schedule FCS.  If we're going to knock scheduling here on this thread (which is precisely what prompted this discussion), then it's perfectly reasonable to knock scheduling FCS teams.

I'd prefer my team not play FCS teams, but realistically, a pastry is a pastry is a pastry.

I'd guess at times there aren't enough pastry FBS teams available.  I don't credit a team that plays NMSU over NDSU any unless it's Auburn.

This is true, but I think the scholarship limits probably opens that gap a little bit more later in the year, when FCS teams have fewer scholarship players to fill in for injuries.

SP+ does rank all 764 NCAA teams/NAIA teams

I was more nervous about Wisconsin playing South Dakota this season than I was for Western Michigan.

That’s true. But it’s also a place that’s good to knock the knocking of that as being a bit overstated. The gap between Akron and Lehigh is definitely there, but it probably doesn’t matter to a program that isn’t close to firing a coach anyway. 

I kind of figured you were right that teams avoid good FCS teams, but not so this year. Of 16 seeded playoff teams, only two didn’t play FBS teams. Wonder if anyone has done a study on that.
