Video: Colin Cowherd Rips Alabama, Arkansas For Adding "Cream Puffs" To Their Schedules
One of the more hotly debated topics in college football - pretty much every year - is strength of schedule. Given the fact that teams play in different conferences and fill their non-conference slates differently, it's often hard to compare schedules between teams in different leagues.
FOX Sports radio host Colin Cowherd dropped some thoughts on the schedules of a few SEC teams Tuesday, and it's fair to say he isn't impressed. Cowherd thinks that both Alabama and Arkansas have weak schedules because they schedule "cream puff" games non-conference.
Cowherd argues that between Alabama's bye and the team's games against Western Kentucky, Kent State and Chattanooga, the Crimson Tide essentially has a month of football off during the season.

We're not sure we agree with Cowherd on this one, given the strength of the SEC. Alabama and Arkansas also have one tough non-conference matchup each - USC and TCU, respectively. We imagine SEC fans will agree.
