Ga Tech usually sux. When Clemson sux they will schedule a tough OOC opponent.

Nobody knows how the committee will vote any year. Good luck - they will pick the teams that bring me the most money when its a tie - (see OSU over TCU or Baylor)

Teams like UF, SCar, and UGA have a built in OOC opponent that makes their OOC schedule harder to judge vs. everyone else.


Actually it makes it much easier. They play good teams every year. That's the point.

UF and SCar say, hey our OOC rival is pretty good, we can fill the rest with crap, and that's fair, it matches how most of the other SEC works, 1 good opponent, 3 garbage ones.



UF schedules Miami, good MAC teams like Miami (Roethlisberger), Toledo, Bowling Green, USF, ECU. Actual real teams in addition to playing FSU. They might not go anywhere to do it, but they still play who they play.

I'd put them #3 behind UGA and LSU in that regard.

UT usually challenges themselves too. They always get killed by a good Pac or Big 12 team. You would think they would learn but I guess they like the revenue.

The SEC office made sure you never played a tough schedule the past 10 years. Hardly ever playing Florida and Georgia

Dude Clemson and Vatech sucked when you played them!! Penn state was average in 2011, and. West Virginia was average this year.

And we all know these OOC schedules are negotiated and inked only one year in advance.......
