Yeah, wait till UF can get Miami lined up again as well. It'll be even more difficult to get UF to leave the state, but why should UF leave the state?

We can't be so lucky as to have Lamar on the schedule, oh but they're in Texas as well, right?

So we get to go play in shitty big 10 venues in the least fertile recruiting ground in America?


I somewhat agree about the recruiting (I would like us to be able to get more upper Midwest o linemen though), but there are some great venues in the Big 10. Madison, Ann Arbor, Columbus, State College, and Lansing are all great venues and can be incredibly fun places to watch games.

As long as the games are not played at neutral sites, I'm for it. I like this idea much better than neutral site kickoffs in Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta.

I'd rather have a Pac 12/SEC challenge.

The SEC already plays too many Big Ten teams during the bowl season.

UF plays Michigan in Dallas in 2017.

That said, I've never understood the big deal. Obviously UF would travel out of state more frequently if we didn't have Miami to schedule on top of FSU.

Would only work if there was a requirement that every SEC school play two P5 schools OOC, not sure that would pass.

Considering Bert cant beat teams from Ohio we will gladly take on Ohio State for this challenge

Rest of conference is second tier

Same here. I'm tired of neutral site games. I remember when Alabama hosted Oklahoma in 2003. Neutral site games take the fun out of the fan experience for me. Yes, I know the money involved is great for each individual school, but at some point, they have to think of the other stuff that plays into scheduling big match-ups. How much extra revenue would each city make if they hosted a prime time match-up? Another thing is that the expenses for the fans are piling up.

Just to clarify, this guy is an alter posing as an Alabama fan. A quick ban is suffice.

Meh. I have no interest. We are playing UCLA, Clemson, Notre Dame and Colorado coming up. If we are forced to add another non conference game, I'd rather it be tu.

So let's take current standings as the "preseason" rankings he was talking about. Games would include:

Ohio st v Bama
Iowa v Florida
Michigan st v Arky
Michigan v LSU
Wisconsin v Ole Miss
Northwestern v Georgia
Penn st v Texas A&M
Nebraska v Miss st
Illinois v Tenn
Rutgers v Auburn
Minn v Vandy
Purdue v Kentucky
Indiana v Missouri
Maryland v South Carolina


I would love the Michigan v LSU

I'm for something like this.
It certainly would help clear the air about which conference is better.

I'm afraid this year the record would have been close to 7-7.
Teams like SC, Auburn, Missouri dropped off from last year and would have lost their games against their B1G counterparts.
However, Florida would have easily won over, say a Penn State.

I think Bert needs to learn his place and STFU until he gets some hardware other than a boot.
