It looks like the SEC is finally realizing how silly they look when they claim that the SEC has the best strength of schedule (which the CFP is changing the formula for strength of schedule by the way) when they play Northern Southern Iowa Community College in November instead of playing nine conference games.
Add that to the fact that the SEC went 1-4 against the Big Ten in Bowl games after the 2024 season. If it wasn’t for Missouri beating Iowa by three then the Big Ten would have gone undefeated to the SEC.
Yet they again claim conference superiority yet again even though they don’t go through the same vetting process as the Big Ten does with the nine game conference schedule.
Yet that looks like it might be changing.
I was hoping the SEC would continue to stick with their eight game schedule so the Big Ten could continue to hold it over their heads as both are jockeying for position in the ongoing College Football Playoff debate.
However, in all seriousness it is a good step forward to make it easier to compare football games. It likely will also result in some changes to the College Football Playoff format.
Whether that is for good we shall see.

BOONVILLE, Missouri — The softball field at Boonville Correctional Center has two fences. The first is a standard outfield fence, 275 feet from home plate, stretching from foul line to foul line. The second, about 50 feet farther, is made of taut barbed-wire strands ringed by circles of razor wire, separating the state penitentiary from the world. It’s a stark reminder that the field is, quite literally, a diamond in the rough.
