Charleston Southern, Troy, FIU, Florida State (both years), Cincinnati, Hawaii, Miami Fl, the citadel, oklahoma

oklahoma and cincinnati only happened becasue of bowl games, and I would argue that if it wasn't tradition Florida wouldn't even play FSU.

This is the SEC's M.O. They talk up their conference and use it as an excuse to avoid playing quality out of conference opponents. You look at schools from the Pac 10, Big XII, and Big 10 then you find yourself hard pressed to find teams that schedule a Charleston Southern.

Oregon for example played Boise State, Utah, and Purdue. Purdue played Northern Illinois, Toledo, Oregon, and Notre Dame. Oklahoma played Miami, Tulsa, Idaho State, and BYU. Now all of these teams aren't world beaters but at least they're FBS schools. And usually if they do schdule and FCS school it's usually very rarely more then one where I've frequently seen SEC school schdule as many as two FCS school and no quality opponents to compensate for the two throw away games.
