Of course,
SEC is all about winning.
This schedule is worse than most but they always manage to limit the number of games the top teams have against other top teams and they almost never have two tough games in a row. They play weak OOC schedules and when they do play somebody tough it is at home or a "neutral" site
like in the dome in Atlanta.
They build in the OOC opponent in the last 2-3 weeks of the season to give everyone a chance to get healthy while adding a free win
We can look down our nose but how often has a PAC12 team been on track for a playoff only to lose a tough game (on the road) against a solid team knocking them out of the playoff.
SEC ends up with at least one team in the playoff every year on a roll going in while the PAC is sitting at home arguing about how tough their schedule was.
And with all the playoff wins (can't win if you aren't there) who has the TV money and which conference is waiting for the death certificate?
