November non-conference scheduling has arrived between the crosshairs of FOX Sports broadcaster Tim Brando. Specifically, Brando took aim at the SEC during Week 13 with games against Western Carolina, Samford and Abilene Christian.

“We get to November, it’s then that we want something special,” Brando said on his regular ‘On Brando’ segment about issues across college football.

Brando then reiterated the argument that he opposes projects. That it’s important to protect the regular season, after all, that’s what makes college football great.

“Because if we do that, those games that mean so much in November, won’t matter quite as much,” Brando said, then referred to the cupcake opponents across the SEC. “Is that really the essence of what November is about for us to remember. I don’t think so.”

Brando credited the SEC that next year, on the week before Thanksgiving, Alabama will play Texas A&M, and Auburn will play LSU.

“That will hush some of the critics, like yours truly, and it’s sorely needed for the Southeastern Conference,” he said. “But it doesn’t stop the schedule inequity. The schedule inequity will remain as long as they only play eight conference games, and the Big Ten, the Big 12 and the Pac-12 continue to play nine.”

Brando said this scheduling strategy is not for the likes of Alabama, LSU and Georgia, but rather the teams struggling to get to five or six wins an opportunity to reach a bowl game. The ACC has adopted a similar scheduling philosophy as the SEC.

“The Big Ten did what it did, in large measure, because it wanted to make more money, and guess what, they have, and I happily work a lot of their games for FOX, and while they’re not hoisting the crystals the SEC is, they are making more money,” he said. “It all comes down to this, depending on your leadership and your constituency, what is it you want to accomplish?”
