I mean, you can usually break up our seasons into ~3-4 game sections.

Taking this season as an example:

Start off with usually a good opponent (Louisville), then an easy game to work on some things/rest injuries from opener (Arkansas St), Ole Miss, Texas A&M, easy game to rest the starters/glorified off week (ULL), 3 SEC games (Arkansas, Mizzou, Tenn), true off week (getting into the final stretch of reg season), 2 SEC games (LSU, MSU), glorified off week/rest starters before Iron Bowl(Citadel), Iron Bowl, SECCG.

Helps make sure there's not more than 3 tough games in a row, and putting the true off week at 60% through the season is probably the best possible time.

If we played LSU in week 4, I guarantee we wouldn't put our off week during week 3.
