USC opens up with San Jose State next year. UGA opens with Clemson. Both play the same amount of P5 schools. Who loads up on cupcakes now?
Playoffs need to extend to at least 8 teams

Stop you’ll hurt their feelings....the cupcake argument is all they have. Playoff results don’t matter in their world.

In SC defense they were scheduled to play Bama this year. And yes they open at San Jose St, but they play ND and BYU. Not too bad of an OOC schedule for sure.
But yeah SEC teams typically schedule one good OOC opponent then have FCS schools the other three games. I give GA credit, they seem to schedule a good opponent, plus play GT.. Not bad at all.

I’ll Venmo you 100 bucks if you can find one SEC team that has played 3 FCS opponents in a season in the last 30 years(I turn 30 in March, and anything sports related that happened before I was born is ancient history)

I’m sure aTm has done it within 30 years because they’re scheduling was ridiculous when they first came into the league. Evidently they were known for this in the Big 12.

It was close for aTm in 2012
South Carolina State
Sam Houston State
Louisana Tech
You might be right.
I don't think ANY P5 team has played 3 FCS teams in one season. Baylor may have gotten close in the Briles era. He was pretty arrogant about it when questioned for their poor OOC scheduling. But I don't even think he stooped that low. He'd play a bunch of G5s though.
Nope, not even Artie boy.

3 FCS schools?...Bless your heart. It's amazing what you folks can do now. Are you able to breathe on your own? Or does that shut down all your other bodily functions? Kudos on getting out there and trying to lead your best life despite your mental disability.

There's been several play 2. I remember that one year UNC made the ACCCG, the committee basically said "They played 2 FCS teams and lost to 3-9 South Carolina, they're not in even if they upset Clemson." And a couple teams scheduled Idaho when they were still an FBS school, but they were FCS when the game was played, and then if a team backs out of a scheduled series, most of the time, the team that didn't back out has to scramble to find a team just to fill the schedule. When Michigan bailed on Arky, it left em with 2 FCS schools.
But there's no benefit in playing 2 FCS schools, they allow one FCS win to count toward bowl eligibility, but if you play 2, one of the wins does nothing for you. You can play Charlotte and still get your easy win and have it count toward bowl eligibility.

lol @thinking 1 year changes decades of pussy scheduling.
Virtually every SEC school plays more FCS teams every year that USC has played in their history.

Georgia schedules tougher OOC opponents than any team in the country. And LOL @ thinking playing New Mexico State is any different than playing an FCS team. That's adorable.

History? Try maybe since 1978. Because USC might not have played an FCS team in their history, but they've played a shit ton of teams that are currently in the FCS...plus about a dozen literal high school teams that they are claiming in their "win" total...way more than any SEC team I know....actually way more than any team I know, although I've not looked at the historical record of too many.
USC...making Notre Dame look good since 1926...which is about the same time the Pac-12 pussied out of inviting Southern teams to the Rose Bowl...you know, because of losing and shit.

I am not sure what you mean. I am capable of looking at schedules, and there isn't a team worth a hoot that is "loading up" on cupcakes. It's quite the opposite. All the good teams are loading up on each other. You can do the research. For my team, we start the season playing Clemson next year. While we are doing that, you will start with San Jose State. Who's loading up on cupcakes?
In the next decade or so we play series against Clemson (5 times, I believe), tOSU, Texas, FSU, Oregon, Oklahoma, UCLA, and we play GaTech every year.
We go 4 straight years of Tech each year with Texas/FSU, Texas/Clemson, Clemson/tOSU, tOSU/Oklahoma. When you come close to that, then you can talk about SEC teams loading up on cupcakes.
Seriously, your narrative is old and stale ... get up to date with current events.

2 things:
- If more than a couple teams have a shot each year, the talent might get better spread out. Think forward to what an expanded CFP might do for the teams that are currently in the 5-15 tier.
- Bama is heads a shoulders above everyone else, but tOSU, ND, Clemson, TAMU, OU, UGA, ISU, and even UF are all about even. Any of those teams could beat each other on a given Saturday. An 8 teams playoff with Bama and 7 of those would have been a blast. A 12 team even better getting Cincy in, and a few others.
