Charleston Southern
Idaho (dropping down to FCS for 2018)

Ouch, I wonder if they get a pass for Idaho though since they were FBS up until this upcoming season. Only 1 FCS team counts towards bowl eligibility.

They will get a pass on that. Idaho only announced that decision in the last year. Surely they scheduled them prior to that.

This crap needs to stop. We need to have a P5 only division.

Would be hysterical if they finish 6-6 and miss a bowl because they played 2 FCS

Not sure it means much, but it was rescheduled a few years ago when we had to cancel the Idaho game.

This is probably one of the weakest schedules UF has ever had.

So is Auburn.

Alabama State and Liberty.

I agree, this needs to stop.
I hate the FCS games. If I were an Auburn or a Florida fan I'd be mad.

Dammit, now I can't talk shite to my FSU buddy about them playing 2 FCS teams in one season.

We just played Michigan and FSU last year. Have Miami and FSU scheduled for 2019. Don't mind the break for a year with a new coach.

Normally I would be. However, after 4-7 I will take an easy schedule in a transition year.

I am good with going to a 9 game conference schedule, 1P5, 1G5 and one crappy team for HC.

Or keep the 8 game and have 2P5, 1G5 and one crappy for HC.

Of course if they go to a playoff-then do away with the conference championships and knock the regular season to 11 games.

16 team play off (Conference Champions + some at large)
1-8 seeds host first round
Bowl games take care of the remaining 7 games.
10 additional bowl games for teams ranked 17-36.
Boom problem solved

Yalls schedule is terrible next year. The fans will be pissed. Considering Louisville lost Lamar Jackson Bamas is not much better. It's pretty pitiful.

LOL at Bama fans shitting on UF's 2018 schedule. It is basically the same as 2017 Bama.

FSU and Colorado State are common opponents.

Fresno State - Idaho
Mercer - Charleston Southern

Any time you schedule FSU OOC, you don't have to excuse your schedule. there are other teams that do a whole lot worse.
