Hmmm..My HOGS next 4 games:Texas followed by #13 Bama, #5 Florida, and #9 Auburn. Cupcakes for sure. 

Pfft.. It's just the SEC. You guys obviously need to play out of conference to prove your worth. I don't see any top-3 teams coming up for you guys.

True.

Did you even read the article?

Maybe it's because the Hogs tried it and USC nearly hung 100 on them?

Until they move to a playoff... you will consistently see crappy schedules.  It's a shame a loss wipes out your title chances in most seasons, because it would be better if teams weren't afraid to lose early and scheduled great games. 

Until there is a playoff system, where all that matters is winning your conference, teams will not risk losing in meaningful games when they can help it.

Congrats to USC they do it right.  I wish Mizzou would schedule them in a home and home series.

FSU is #1 on the list.

No SEC teams on the list and a lot of ACC teams.


Playing UF every year has nothing to do with it either.

And all this list gives a good amount of information, it only ranks how many BCS schools a team has played. If you look through some of those team's schedules over the years, they play terrible BCS team (see Iowa)

And Miami. And they played 'Bama last year. They have Colorado on the schedule this year. They wanted to play USF this year but USF declined. They have BYU next year. They have a home and away with Oklahoma in 2010-2011. West Virginia in 2013. They played Notre Dame in 2002 and 2003.

There's more, I just don't feel like looking it all up.

I think playing schools like Miami, @ Colorado, Alabama, etc. has 99% more to do with it than playing UF every year, else UF would be on the list too since they play FSU every year... right?

Really?

Let's look at Iowa's BCS OOC games since 2002, excluding the rivalry game vs. ISU:

@ Pitt - Terrible, right?
Syracuse - bad team, scheduled years in advance
@ Syracuse - see above
@ Arizona State - Terrible, right?
Arizona State - Terrible, right?

And to throw in a non-BCS game:

Miami (OH) - Ranked No. 15 at the time, Roethlisberger's final season

Let's compare that to UF's BCS OOC games, excluding the rivalry game vs. FSU:

Miami
@ Miami
Miami

I guess I was out of place to say that UF always has a terrible OOC schedule?

I just don't see how SEC teams need any OOC games to boost their strength of schedule.

Maybe the Pac-10, Big-12, and Big-11 should just squat in their regions playing non-BCS conference OOC games and just proclaim their conference is the toughest.

I bet Auburn of a few years ago agrees. You know, since they got passed over because they scheduled some 1-AA teams OOC instead of "real" teams.

The biggest problem is all these teams being ranked in the preseason. Does anyone think teams like Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, WVU, etc. will be Top 10 worthy at the end of season?

Like SCAR being ranked so high. They're bad, but because they're an SEC team with a little hype they start out in the Top 20.
