Who plays the most cupcakes in the SEC?

Just three of the 16 teams in the SEC are playing more than one Power Five opponent in nonconference games this upcoming season. Georgia, LSU, and Florida are the only SEC schools to play two or more Power Five opponents in their four nonconference games.

Florida is playing an impressive three Power Five opponents in nonconference action. The Gators have the most challenging schedule in the country and will have to play well just to make a bowl game.

The SEC has some very fun nonconference games this fall like Texas at Michigan, Georgia vs. Clemson, Alabama at Wisconsin, LSU vs. USC, Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame, and Arkansas at Oklahoma State.
