I wouldn't say that. If they lose even one in-conference game, they are toast.....and I don't care how good a team is or how crappy a conference is, it is very hard to win every single game, year after year.

So if they keep winning every game they play, then it is hard to justify holding them down, particularly if they are doing all they can to schedule teams from BCS conferences (which they apparently are)........

I just don't see how that constitutes a "free ride".....

You don't consider:

Miami (OH)
Fresno St.
Bowling Green
California-Davis
Tulsa
Hawaii
San Jose St
Louisiana Tech
Idaho
Utah St
Nevada
New Mexico St

A free ride? I sure as hell do. That was their schedule last year after their first game against Oregon, nor surprisingly at Boise. Win the first game and they're assured a BCS bowl. You're right that if they lose 1 conference game they have no hope, but the odds are greatly in their favor to win them all when you look at just how downright pathetic the teams are they play. Give all 12 SEC teams that schedule (in some magical scenario where cross country travel was negated) and I bet you at least half could've gone undefeated as well.
