strength of schedule

Once again smazza is wrong. Recheck your facts.

By the way, FSU played 1AA teams so has other schools.

Yea, and FSU got ranked #24 thanks to those. That is ********.

As long as teams get rewarded for those cupcakes, they will continue to stuff their faces with them.

Do you have a link on that?  Do facts mean anything to you?

When I saw the subject title, I thought it was going to be the preseason ranking for our basketball team

[Bull Martin]

The BEast has a chance to go 8-0 this week in OOC play.  Hopefully we finally get a good week going.

Iowa @ Pitt

K. State @ UL

The Girls @ Navy

Northeastern @ ExCuse

WVU @ Colorado

All of those games are toss ups, but definitely winnable.  Hopefully the rest of the conference gets their **** together.

Cincy, UConn, and USF all have gimmes.

As for you Smazza haters, our schedule looks like crap this year.  Unless we win the rest of our games by 30 there will be no 12-0 USF in the NC game.

I dunno about the rest of you, but having five SEC teams in the top 10 definitely helps us because you know four of those teams will lose because they play each other.

I think UF gets upset along with Georgia.  Auburn and Alabama won't last.  LSU is still unproven.  Missouri or Oklahoma will lose (Big XII championship).  Another miracle will be needed for USC to lose.

Like people on here say:  Just win, Jim.

I was slightly perturbed when I fist saw 5 SEC teams in the top 10, but then I thought about it.  Only one of those 5 can escape from a loss (and it's most likely all of them will lose at least 1).  USF is in a good position.

Alabama and Auburn have no business being in the top 10, but it wont matter in a few weeks.

As long as we win the games we're supposed to (all of them).  The rankings will take care of themselves.

The part where our schedule comes into play is only for NC consideration.  At this point a 1 loss SEC, Big 12 (less Kansas), and USC, would jump us.  We need our schedule to get better!

No disagreement about the rest of our schedule is unimpressive but what would you suggest we do? Do 1 and none or two for ones and end up with less home games? I could see the argument for going the 90s FSU, anyone anywhere route but seeing as how we're having a difficult enough time getting a conference championship, we'd have a good chance of not being bowl eligible as many years as not if we did.

There's only 119 1a teams...and we're 159?

Out of these "159" we're ranked 12th. Thats the only ranking that matters

[Velcro]

159 is out of all IA and IAA teams (many more than 119)
