Alabama schedules 2 for 1 with South Florida.

Cue the "we're too good to go to USF" crowd.

If this is what we have to do to avoid the 2019 embarrassment of the OOC schedule then so be it.

Its a great 2nd OOC game.

USF is top 5 G5 program IMO.

I’m fine with scheduling this, but I don’t think they’re top 5.

Boise, UCF, Houston, Memphis, Fresno, San Diego State, Cincinnati are all better

Yeah but thry are getting Louisville, Georgia Tech,and UNC.......while USF gets 3 premiere programs at their home stadium

---

They have Stanford this year and unless they can charge 2x the price UCF would come out negative on that because, unlike USF, they usually fill their stadium.

The strategies make sense for each program.

I would prefer they come here twice before we go there, but I'm fine with scheduling USF.

Nice - love this for a #2 OOC game.

Got Texas at home and play at South Florida in 2023. Nice, hope they are not back to back games that year.

They’ve had Maryland, Pitt, Ga Tech, and North Carolina in the past 3 seasons.

Good example of why the P5 label is kind of dumb.

Those are not quality opponents and isn't anywhere near the level of Alabama or other blue bloods.

quote:

---

I would only put Boise,UCF, and Houston ahead of them

Based on what? Every team he listed has more all-time wins, bowl appearances, and conference championships than USF. Most have better winning percentages. Fresno State in particular is ahead of South Florida in every statistic. They're just a decent group of five.

Anyone still butthurt about UCF needs to grow up. Has Bama made any attempt to schedule them? At any rate, it's clear that it's impossible for any G5 team to make the playoff - they can barely crack the Top 15 when they go undefeated. Part of why the BCS was vastly Superior to this farcical committee.
