Check out UF's rankings since 1992. They will be a perennial power with few exceptions.

I would think UF, UT and UGA are all in the same ball park over that time period. Much like UA, AU and LSU.

I am not scared in the least. But how cany anyone with any brain function not realize the best thing is for no permanents, but allow teams to schedule each other as non-conference games. It happens all the time


What?? Do you mean that if LSU/UF play it shouldn't count towards SEC records? I thought the argument was so UF/LSU wasn't every year so LSU could play Kentucky more often and get some more wins, and UF could play Ole Miss more often

Or am I missing the entire point?

No. Just have division games count towards division standings. Makes sense, no?

Kind of divides the conference into two mini conferences and dilutes the impact of games between conference teams. See the Alabama/AU baseball game that doesn't count for the conference record.

The point is they have been obsessed with Bama recently and that obsession has them focused on the short term inequities between their schedule and Bama's schedule (they don't give a shite about any other inequities). It is merely an inferiority complex exposed.

No you nailed the point. Let us say in any particular year, UT is not on BAMA's rotating east schedule, they are still allowed to play each other it just wouldn't count towards conference records. It happens in other sports quite often

By "other sports", you basically mean just baseball.

Let me guess, you were the type of person who called anyone who didn't vote for Obama a racist. Because that is the equivalent of what you are doing here. Anyone who suggests the schedules are unfair are "Pussies". It is a fact that a full rotating schedule with no permanents in the opposite division is the fairest way.

Of all the dumbass things that have been posted in this thread, this takes the cake.

Scheduling has and always ill be unequal in college football. It is why strenght of schedule is factored into rankings. Nothing you do will change that.

And provides fans with the a worse/more diluted product. Rivalries matter in college football. Good teams playing other good teams is better for the conference. There is no doubt at all that LSU's problem relates to its obsession with Bama as this whiny shite has only recently become an issue.

Look im not the LSU fan that says this only effects us, I realize we will benefit in years in which UF is down( see Ron Zook). However, I still think it makes sense to find the most balanced schedule. Period.

Since 92 UF is heads and shoulders above UGA, UT, and AU, and considering the 90s, LSU.

Maybe, let's see the W/L numbers for all of them.

Do you really think the reasoning for this is because they allow them to play conference opponents that dont counts towards conference records?
