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

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.
