To be fair, there is no comparison between the schools you mentioned and what @buckeyebri said. You're noting teams like Navy who went 9-4 and BGSU who is picked to win the MAC against FCS and DII schools.

No one, and I mean no one, schedules more laughable non FBS games than the SEC.

Have you even looked at the wins that Made Navy a 9win team :lol:
BG to win the MAC, come on now.
I agree that the SEC schedules some terrible non conference, but it's not like the Big 10 is doing much better. We all have one and ones regardless of conference. The problem I have with the sEC is that they won't play in neutral northern locations. But each and every big name program throughout the country plays cupcakes. Until OSU wins an NC or a major BCS bowl against SEC competition none of our complaining matters because they hold all of the power in CFB. Big 10 fans (and more specific OSU fans) can complain all they want but if a SEC team beats Lamar and Furman and still wins an NC, who cares, they have a trophy.

I think Bama plays 2 FCS teams this year. FAU and Western Carolina.

Edit apparently FAU is in C-USA

I guess we'll have to disagree; Navy & BGSU are light years different than FCS schools and I'll stick to that.

That's fine, we can agree to disagree, but at the end of the day, the teams playing FCS schools have won a good number of NCs and the teams playing mighty Service teams and MAC schools have not...

Navy (whos only failed to win 8 games once in the last 10 years) and the MAC are light years ahead of the FCS this is a true

there might be a FEW FCS schools that might be an exception (better then the cellar of the MAC)

but at the end of the day i'd still rather have Kent State on the schedule then Youngstown State

btw the SEC tends to schedule cellar dweller FCS teams, which makes it even worse, you rarely see an SEC team play a "top caliber" FCS school

Uh didn't OSU play Florida A&M last year, an FCS bottom dweller? And Big 10 teams play FCs team from their own states yearly.
Arguing that youd rather have Kent St than Youngstown St is like arguing someone about having a fat wife, but saying at least she's not ugly. Neither team is relevant in the football landscape and is the same as aTm playing UTEP rather than Sam Houston St.
We're arguing and complaining about teams that when they play big time bowl games or play good OOC competition also tend to win. That's also not being brought up either. And Those game matter much more than playing FCS teams. At the end of the day I don't give a damn if OsU has a schedule of all FCS cellar dwellers and we win an NC, and I can bet money that no one else would care either.

So what? There was a time in the not so recent past that Navy wouldn't have beaten those teams. Don't hate.

BG might win the MAC. NIU is down a bit since they graduated everyone of importance.

Your missing the forest for the trees. ESPiN controls the media narrative - even if the $EC$EC$EC didn't win the MNC, the onus would still be on the Big Ten to produce. FCS scheduling is crap, but let's not act like everyone isn't doing it, because they mostly are, it's not just a Big Ten issue.
