I've seen a few SEC schedules leak and both had SEC match-ups the week before rivalry week, so it looks like the Saban Cupcake game is going away. Y'all remember when we had to play Alabama then Arkansas before the Egg Bowl?
Looks like the game #11 cupcake is going away in the SEC

We were Auburn-Alabama-LSU-Ole Miss for years before expansion.
I think you're right. But the counter balance to that is we'll see Vandy, South Carolina and Missouri more often and less of Bama, LSU, Auburn and Texas A&M. Overall, it will be a little tougher, but not much difference.
Not everyone got a week 11 cupcake. We were granted with that because the egg bowl was on Thursday.
And that's really the only way that makes sense. No reason for all SEC teams to be playing each other the next to last week of the season. Also no reason to have a disproportionate amount of cupcakes. UGA, UK, Florida, and USCe should have cupcakes that week because they have OOC rivalry week games. Everybody else should probably play in conference unless they have a thursday night game.
Maybe you have to do something special with Vandy and UT since whoever plays Vandy the week before rivalry week is generally going to have an advantage compared to somebody playing another SEC school.
