SEC Football Question for Harry

[Joe Biden 2020]

Why do most of the SEC schools like to schedule a glorified scrimmage in late November?  I agree with Game Day that the committee should penalize the schools who do this.  It's one thing to schedule them in early September, but in November you're trying to build your postseason resume.  If they want a week off, they should just schedule a bona-fide bye week, not an FCS school.  Missouri and Mississippi State are doing it correctly by scheduling SEC schools this week.  But, schools like Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Auburn, and Georgia all scheduled weak schools.  It doesn't make any sense.

I think it's because they want to get rested up for their rivalry games the next weekend.

But I agree, we as a conference should cut out FCS games altogether. We already (correctly) feast on the Sun Belt and CUSA schools enough. And maybe we could mandate no OOC games in November.

I have no problem with an FCS school in the first couple weeks of September (especially a team like North Dakota State).  My beloved Oklahoma does that, but when conference games start in late September/early October, the FCS should be left to their own conference.  I applaud what Missouri, Miss State, and Ole Miss did by scheduling SEC opponents this week when the "big boys" scheduled cupcakes.
