Does the SEC play too many cupcakes compared to the other conferences?

Moreover, it doesn't matter when one power 5 conference is considerably stronger than the other 4, and far, far, stronger than at least 2 of the other power 5 conferences.

No

UCLA is the only power 5 school that plays at least 2 power 5 schools AND only FBS schools.

School from other conferences play plenty of cupcakes -- every season during conference play.

UGA does quite often

Comparing schedules should be about comparing the strength of the whole schedule. This fascination with looking at only ooc games is dumb when looking at strength of schedule.
As it relates to the overall quality of cfb, everyone plays too many cupcakes.
Should be a minimum of 10 power 5 games on every power 5 schedule and a max of 1 fcs opponent.

YES! .... but we have a much tougher conference schedule so we also play tougher competition. I think it all balances out.

it was kind of funny on saturday, on one side they were bitching about the SEC's creampuff schedule, then the other side they were talking about how brutal most of the SEC's schedules were. Got to drive the ratings/clicks somehow

Not directly related to OP, but it's amazing how non-SEC types want to bitch about the SEC playing 2 or 3 cupcakes. When you consider the top 5 games on any given SEC team's schedule for the year, they are generally much harder than other conference's teams. To me that's what matters, and that's all that should matter. Not whether you played a schedule of 5 or 6 middling weaklings masquerading as conference foes.

Not when some entire conferences are cupcakes.

Agree.
Break down what we know so far this season.
Pac 12 - Oregon looks good. UCLA, Stanford, and USC will not scare anyone.
Big 12 - Oklahoma and Baylor. After that... pretty average overall.
B1G - Mich State is solid... even in the loss to Oregon. The rest... average.
ACC - Fla State and... maybe Va Tech.
SEC - Bama, Auburn. A&M, Ga look to be as good or better than anybody listed above. Throw in the Miss schools, LSU, and Mizzou and once again everyone knows why the SEC is the best conference.

Other conferences get their cupcakes in house.
The SEC has to go out.

It's all noise to me. I expect my team to schedule one strong nonconference opponent each year to add to the SEC slate. Two is gravy.
Scheduling an entire nonconference slate of pushovers is a little ridiculous. But if you play an SEC schedule and add one legitimate nonconference team, nobody has a legitimate gripe - ESPECIALLY teams that play in weaker conferences.

To answer this simply. All other conferences are 3/4 cupcakes. So why they say our OOC games are cupcakes. Their OOC and in conference schedules are shite. Just a pansy excuse to say something that they think they have a one up on the SEC.

The other conferences are made up of all cupcakes and one or two decent teams. This isn't the case in tSEC west
