Curt Cignetti Sparks Fiery Debate Among College Football Fans—Who’s Really Winning the SEC Feud?

When pressed by the media, Cignetti made it clear that he sees his nine Big Ten games as more important. He said that decided to “adopt an SEC scheduling philosophy” by having several Group of Five opponents or an FCS opponent.

“That was a scheduling philosophy that began before I was hired. But I did sign off on it upon being hired, before our first season,” Cignetti said at Big Ten Media Days. “Look, here’s the bottom line. We picked up an extra home game and we play nine conference games. The two best conferences in college football – any football guy that’s objective will tell you – [are] the Big Ten and the SEC. Twelve of the 16 SEC teams play three G5 or an FCS game. Twelve of those teams play 36 games – 29 G5 games and seven FCS games, and one less conference game.
