Anyone ever tell you that?Florida's OOC schedule; Southern Miss, UCF, Western Carolina, and FSU. Combined record: 16-24.Louisville's OOC schedule; Kentucky, Temple, Miami, Kansas State, MTSU. Combined record: 26-26.Florida has beaten one top10 team. Is that supposed to impress me? They beat #9 LSU and lost to #15 Auburn. Louisville beat #8 West Virginia and lost to #7 Rutgers. Sagarin says UF's strength-of-schedule is 15th, and Louisville's is 24th. You think the Gators are that much more worthy than Louisville?But wait. Now you're gonna tell me that you and you alone know that LSU and Auburn are both better than WVU and Rutgers, even though both human polls and the computer rankings say otherwise.Louisville has played two top ten teams, and Miami was top20 when we played them (top5 when we scheduled them). A win on the road at Kansas State minus 2 Heisman candidates do anything for you? We held them to 6 points. Texas gave up 42 in three quarters.Let me hear some stats from you, smazza.

Joe Posted November 16, 2006 Group: Member Topic Count: 197 Content Count: 10,251 Reputation: 270 Days Won: 14 Joined: 08/16/2005 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Where I think Louisville will lose out is the fact that Florida still plays Arkansas. It will be another top team that UF has defeated, which will give then 9 victories over bowl eligible teams. Louisville has to beat the living hell out of USF, Pitt, and UConn; then hope for UF, Arkansas, USC, and Rutgers to lose (and Rutgers to lose big).Not saying it's right, but if Louisville wanted to go to the National Title game they needed to beat Rutgers. If you had to take a one loss team that this moment however, it wouldn't be FLorida or Louisville. It would have to be USC, based on their schedule alone, they deserve to go to the title game if they win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyGlass Posted November 16, 2006 Group: Member Topic Count: 16 Content Count: 549 Reputation: 2 Days Won: 0 Joined: 11/03/2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I totally agree. Louisville's chances are shot. It's not for lack of a schedule, though. It's the pure bias that some humans possess. If Miami and Cincy can scrape up one more win, the Cards will have played 9 bowl teams also.And I would totally give USC the shot if they win out.

No ACC team is worthy of NC. No Big12 team is worthy. What's your point?florida isnt worthy?come back when you know the gametell your school to schedule real teams OOCDid you seriously imply UF is worthy after they botched multiple snaps in a game against an average opponent? That anemic offense is a joke. UF doesn't run the ball well at all. How many championship teams have done well without having a good running threat?The only POSSIBLY worthy SEC team is Arkansas. UF might warrant a look IF they can even get by them. Even then, their schedule is BARELY harder than rutgers, and easier than USC's and maybe even Notre Dame's. UF needs a lot of help before they even merit consideration in the NC game.Why don't YOU learn a little bit about objective analysis of football teams, and then try again? There are a good 4 or 5 teams with 1 or fewer losses that unlike UF CAN handle snaps, CAN run the ball, and CAN score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
