It's easy to look good when you have 8 conference games, 14 teams, Vandy,
Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss St and bye weeks/FCS before all your big game.
The SEC has gamed the system and for some reason only the ACC is copying them. It's easy money.
"Oh, USC, you want to play Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame every year? And you won't play FCS? And your other OOC games include really good G5 teams like BYU and Fresno? lol. Ok bro. Enjoy your 4 losses. I'll go schedule down in the SEC, win a ton of games and be a top 10 team."
