There is a difference between a good team that has to play 3 games a year they have any realistic chance of losing and a good team that has to play double that. Look at Ohio State, they play TWO games all year

I agree. No question Ohio State was the best team at the end of last year, but for the first half of the season or so, they were not very good, getting spanked on their home field by an ACC team that finished with a losing record. But, because of their schedule, they were able to get through that half season with only one loss and were still alive for the playoff when they started to put things together. Play half a season like that in the SEC and you're 2-4 or 3-3 wondering how you're going to get bowl eligible, and you're certainly not talking about making the playoff.
