FSU is penalized for scheduling 2 Tier 1 SEC Programs years in advance who happened to have mediocre seasons?



FSU should get credit because LSU was elite 4 years ago and Florida was elite 15 years ago?

The SEC was 4-6 vs ACC with the ACC having the better wins.


Wut. The SEC #7/8 beat the ACC #2. ACC doesn't remotely have a win that good. Best one is ACC #1 beat the SEC #4. Well, yeah, they should win that.

What else are they supposed to do when it comes to OOC scheduling?

Teams in weaker conferences are told to schedule multiple more difficult OOC opponents to mitigate the weaker conference schedule. FSU scheduled not one, but two.

With OOC games scheduled years in advance, do you just have to rely on luck and chance?

But I've learned in last 2 weeks from the Iron Bowl that you throw rankings out the window in rivalry games. Is that not true?

FWIW, I do think Bama is better than FSU and that the playoff should be conference champs only and not subjective best 4 teams, so Bama and FSU would both be in my version of a playoff.
