Dari said that "You don't get a break, and that's a pretty tough reality."
While that is true, no team is afforded a break in the SEC except in November, when the schools for one Saturday play a non-conference wimp. And while OU may not possess the same level of talent, it's clear that no program can afford to overlook another.
I agree that the November non-conference game is a sham. But I'm guessing the SEC is waiting to see how things shake out with the expanded playoff, why not keep the conference schedule at eight games? Unless TV pitches a fit and wants more good games to show.
