If you've so much as glanced over the Week 12 college football slate, you noticed there are a lot of nonconference cupcake games in the SEC.
Bleacher Report colleague Barrett Sallee believes this perfectly proves why the SEC must go to nine conference games. As far as television/fan interest is concerned, he's right, not to mention the point made by Alabama coach Nick Saban about everyone playing everyone at least once in four years is a valid one.
So it's ironic in a way that the SEC's biggest remaining game is of the nonconference variety.
