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


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?

Wut. The SEC #7/8 beat the ACC #2. ACC doesn't remotely have a win that good.


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.

Nah, they scheduled one. The other is an annual game that's been scheduled for as long as any of us have been alive...back when they were independent.

Sorry Florida sucks right now.

When there's 5 major conferences and just 4 playoff spots? Yeah, luck and chance come into play.

Moving goal posts. OP I responded to said ACC wins over SEC teams were more impressive than SEC wins over ACC this year. Demonstrably untrue.
