USF 2011 OOC Schedule compared to rest of BE

[usf97]

I know many complain about our OOC schedule....but if you compare it to the rest of the BE.....only Pitt may have a stronger OOC than us....West Virginia's schedule is about the same as ours. I bolded what I consider good games that could get national coverage.

USF: FAMU, Ball State, UTEP, Notre Dame, Miami

PITT: Maine, Buffalo, Notre Dame, Iowa, Utah

West Virginia: Norfolk State, Marshall, Bowling Green, LSU, Maryland

Louisville: Murray State, FIU, Marshall, Kentucky, UNC game is in doubt.....UNC may have backed out late

Cincinnati: Miami (OH), Akron, Austin Peay, NC State, Tennessee

SU: Rhode Island, Toledo, Tulane, Wake Forrest USC

Rutgers: Army, Ohio, NC Central, Navy, UNC

UConn: Fordam, Buffalo, Western Michigan, Vanderbilt, Iowa State

Only Rutgers scheduled just one BCS AQ team, all teams scheduled one FCS school. Louisville may be in a bind because it appears that North Carolina is backing out of their game in order to play James Madison. They may have to schedule a 2nd FCS game.....or maybe they could work something out with TCU. All in all, I doubt many of the these games get picked up for National Television. Obviously our ND game will be on NBC. Surely the Pitt v ND and UWV v LSU and Maryland game will probably get picked up nationally.

Thoughts?? Disagreements?? Obviously everyone's schedule will look that much nicer/tougher when TCU is added to everyone starting in 2012.

So, as usual Rutgers is only playing one BCS team OOC  :

Rutgers is a joke.

As usual, Rutgers' OOC schedule is laughable at best.

Pitt and WVU usually play difficult BCS teams and they do so again this season.

I am surprised that Syracuse seems to have weakened their OOC the past couple of years. They usually played 3 BCS programs OOC.

I think RU has an obligation to schedule the service academies.. some kind of tradition I believe

Navy can be a tough game and has national interest

So, as usual Rutgers is only playing one BCS team OOC  :

In fairness, Navy isn't exactly a pushover.

we  are middle of the pack

Any news on Voodoo5's attempt to swap the UTEP game with TCU?

Rutgers is such a joke. Watch them still lose a game or two to terrible teams there.

But no way USF should go any worse the 3-2/4-1 OOC with that schedule. If Miami and ND are still down then 5-0 wouldn't surprise me at all. Of course lacking solid QB play again this season could unravel all that.
