Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has voiced his displeasure with Texas' schedule a few times this season, specifically its four-week stretch without a home game to open conference play. 

But on Thursday, he added some new context to his resentment towards other teams' conference schedules. 

"I'm not comfortable. I don't think there's enough continuity from the scheduling standpoint in the SEC," Sarkisian said. "I think there are some distinct advantages that some teams have."

A major talking point in the college football landscape for many years has been "cupcake week" in the SEC, where teams schedule non-power conference schools between conference opponents.

While the Longhorns will be taking on Arkansas, teams like Texas A&M, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn and LSU will be in contests with these so-called "cupcakes."

For the Bulldogs, Saturday night's game against Texas is their last conference game, as their last game of the season is during rivalry week against Georgia Tech, an ACC program. 

On the other hand, the Longhorns have three conference games left because they played all four of their non-conference opponents at the beginning of the season. 

"They play non-conference games the second-to-last game of the season, and we're playing all of ours in the front end," Sarkisian said. 

And Sarkisian thinks this gives certain teams an upper hand because it allows them to play earlier conference matchups, when teams realistically should have fewer health issues throughout their rosters.

For example, Ole Miss played three SEC games against Kentucky, Arkansas and LSU, before Texas opened up its league schedule at Florida.

"They're playing conference games earlier in the year when their team's 100% healthy," Sarkisian said. 

While every team plays the same number of SEC games, Sarkisian's gripe is understandable. While his team grinds out eight straight games against brutal conference opponents, others basically get a week off before their next big game.

Notably, the Aggies take on the Samford Bulldogs of the Southern Conference a week before their big game against the Longhorns.

However, Sarkisian knows he and his players have to take their scheduling misfortunes on the chin.

"I don't love our schedule, but it's our schedule... so I do love it in the same breath," Sarkisian said. "You play the hand you're dealt."

In terms of possible changes to Texas' future schedule, Sarkisian thinks it's unlikely... at least in the near future.

"It's hard to, all of a sudden, just change your schedules... schedules are made years in advance," Sarkisian said. "It's been one of the unintended consequences when you make a change and go into a new conference."
