None of them want to play hard teams—- the fans want to watch practice games for their team they cherish.Like it wasn't already easy enough to dislike USC. Not sure why Riley is such a wuss. They very well may beat LSU.

That’s a TOUGH schedule…
Now compare it to the perennial preseason top pick team's schedule in the biG 10......the playoff deck is stacked for one conference and against another.....at least until the beauty contest is over and the playoff games begin. The result will be the same teams from the same conference making the playoff every year....and almost never advancing to their preseason dreamy hopes. As a result, if you follow college football you will have to listen to the blabbering ESPN talking heads going on and on about how powerful "they" are while they glide through their watered-down season, then go radio silent two weeks into the playoffs. It's a joke. Between the conference realignment that has stacked the SEC with talent and watered down the rest, the annual free agency transfer portal and NIL, the whole system of college football has gone straight to hell.
Doesn’t compare to women’s beach volleyball….
