Opponents you wish your team hadn't scheduled? Past, Present, or Future?

Off-season thread no doubt but the UT @ Oregon game had me wondering if UT wish it didn't have this game on the docket. I'm not sure when this game was originally scheduled but the timing could not have been worse for the Volunteers.
Its still a great opportunity for UT to play on a big stage and keep their name fresh in the minds of the CFB world despite their recent slumps but I couldn't help but think if I were a UT fans "man why couldn't we have this game at a different time?"
For SC I don't mind playing ECU but we scheduled them for a 5-game series. 2 in Cola, 2 in Charlotte, and 1 @ECU. We've already gotten 2 out of the way and we pushed one back to make room for UNC but in any case I see no reason to have a 5 game series with these guys.
Also this seasons @UCF, nothing really to gain, a lot to lose, should win but UCF is no slouch.
So what say the rant? Maybe the timing worked out poorly, maybe the opponent was too weak and it damn near feels like a waste of a Saturday going out to the game?

FSU in 2007. Diddy Bowden's GTFO present.

I'd much rather be playing someone other than Virginia Tech. If we win, it's because Tech isn't what they used to be. If we lose, we aren't as good as we thought. It's kind of a lose-lose.

@UCF in 2013
Wofford any and every time
In a related note I wish we hadn't cancelled the Georgia Tech series, although it was a ways down the road

Probably Citadel in '04. That was the main argument for us not getting in. Apparently beating a team by only 30 isn't good enough.

Any team that's not in a BCS conference.

I like our national OOC scheduling, but it sucks pretty bad when we're this bad.
