Man you really don't know what the hell you are talking about. The SEC Office (Here In Birmingham) schedules SEC League Play Games during the season. The SEC Member Schools play (8 League Games Per Season) then fill in the rest of their schedule. The SEC is moving to (9 League Games Per Season) next year.
It is just smart scheduling to play a scrub team before your rivalry game. Georgia Tech played Duke before Georgia, FSU played Maryland (4-8) and Clemson actually had somewhat of a competitive game against NC State (7-5). The ACC should just schedule a scrub team before out of conference rivalry games. Now I do agree with you that some of the scrub teams the SEC scheduled are sub-par teams.
I think you also have a very selective memory concerning bowl games. I don't think you remember last year so I will help you thaw out your frozen Big 10 brain.
2011 Conference By-Conference Bowl Records:
SEC (6-3) Big 12 (6-2)
Big 10 (4-6)
PAC 12 (2-5)

You really should not talk smack about other conferences when your own conference can't even win more than half the bowl games they are in....
Last year? What kind of sample size is that? Go back over the past 15 years. The SEC's home field advantage hasn't helped them much in bowl games.
As for the Big 10, I've hammered them for being a crappy conference this season all year.
With that said, any conference that has the likes of Kentucky, Tennessee and Aubutn in it ought to keep their pie holes shut.
And LMAO at the "board directors of the SEC" scheduling squibs in November. You call that being smart. I call it cheating the system. Given that the SEC cheats the system by using the medical redshirt exemption, cheating is part of the game down there.
