I'm hearing it more and more in the media this week (a segment devoted to it on ganeday today, no less than 5 articles-even from pro sec writers-read this week, and several other national conversations) about the shame/pointlessness/etc of this traditional late season no name game.
My question is, with OOC (out of conference) games combined written SOS (strength of sched) becoming more and more important with the CFB playoff committee, how long before this is addressed?
And before 50 people say the same thing regarding the difficulty of the conference (which I agree with) the fact is it may become harder to argue that when early season favorites (USCe, LSU) to have at least a decent season perform the way they have so far. Sure, the Mississippies rose to the occasion to fill a void in quality this season, but there's been a big drop off IMO among the conference (thanks Florida.)
Maybe CNS saw the writing on the way years ago when he voted for the 9 game conference schedule.

Even if we played another fbs team I imagine it would look better for Bama.
Thoughts?
