cupcakes. Everybody plays them. But we don't want to give anybody credit for doing so. That's why we're lumping them all into one small post and giving you a fun fact about any bad midmajors or fcs teams playing sec teams each week. Call it our silent, and likely futile, protest. All games are saturday unless otherwise noted.

These football games against Western Carolina haven’t gone so well for Alabama. Oh, sure, the Crimson Tide won the two previous meetings by decisive scores, 52-0 in 2004 and 52-7 in 2007. The 2007 win, however, was one of five Bama had to vacate in a bizarre NCAA ruling. And there’s no way to know how much the 2004 game cost the Tide.

If the SEC transitions into a nine-game schedule and schools look to beef up scheduling for the looming playoff, perhaps teams will dump the cupcakes eventually. But Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity says a nine-game conference slate might make FCS games more tempting -- at least for the SEC. "To add two tough nonconference games plus a nine-game schedule, that would be one tremendous grind," said McGarity, whose Bulldogs are locked into FCS games until 2016. "If at least 10 out of your 12 games are against BCS teams, I think you'll definitely see programs value it more. You'll have already strengthened your schedule so much with another conference game."
