I have heard of the Big Ten Conference.  It seems the Big 10 consists of 
Michigan, Ohio State and recently Iowa, who are the seven dwarfs??

Georgia plays Florida and Auburn every year.  Auburn plays Florida and Alabama 
every year.  I am not sure who LSUs and Tennessee's yearly opponents are.  

If every team in the SEC played every other team in the SEC, then teams like 
Kentucky, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt would never have a real chance to play in a 
bowl, because ultimately the stronger teams in the conference would prevail.
Because of the SEC scheduling, these teams could still have a good SEC and 
non-conference record and be invited to a bowl game.  The SEC usually does as 
well if not better than any other conference in post season play.  How did the 
Big 10 do in last years bowls?
