Lanning made some comments about the SEC playing weak teams this week. It seems to be a go-to argument for Big10 fans. Specifically OSU fans on Reddit.
It's a dumb argument. Yes the Big10 plays 9 conference games, but some of the teams don't schedule a P4 out of conference game. It's not mandated by the conference like it is in other conferences. Penn State plays 9 P4 games, all in conference. SEC teams also play 9 P4 games, with one being OOC. So it's literally the same relative difficulty.
And back to Lanning, his OOC P4 game was Oklahoma State. Arguably one of the worst P4 teams.
You can maybe make an argument that having the easy game during the penultimate week helps the SEC play a more competitive rivalry week. But that's the other conferences' fault for not tactically scheduling games.
