Its getting tiresome because bama and UF dont have to sched USC because the conference is there.
PSU has akron this week i think.
USC plays who washington? I know thats a conference team but not much of one.
I just cant wait until UF puts 50 on tenn this weekend! its gonna be great.

So other SEC schools have cupcakes too - what a surprise. Florida doesn't just have cupcakes - they have 3 of them. But I guess that's the advantage of being a nationally recognized program. You can schedule crap for non-conference and no one cares if you take care of business in conference.
USC plays a Washington team that now #9 LSU only beat by a TD. Washington is no pushover with Locker back under center.
The problem with the SEC is the whole tough conference schedule mantra comes in large part from the fact that most of the conference plays brutally weak non-conference schedules. This all but guarantees a plethora of 8-4 and higher teams and, in turn, top 25 rankings.
Don't get me wrong, the SEC is probably the toughest conference in the country, but this is in large part due to inflated records from out of conference play.
