+ the lamers (sort of), so if you play every team in the league every year you have no games for any out of conference games, so we never play OSU, or PSU, or LSU, or WVU. And also it is a large financial hit to the teams that you play as a cupcake. In addition if you are going to do that and take out all cupcakes then EVERY conference would be required to do it as otherwise you have no way to compare records across conferences.
