re: Why is Florida afraid to schedule a neutral site OOC matchup?

Schedule has nothing to do with "fear" and everything to do with $$$ and risk. Simple economics. More home games = more $$$ for UF. OOC scheduling is largely irrelevant when you play in the SEC. As long as the SEC maintains it's prestige as the nation's best CFB conference, why would any AD with a brain expose their team to more unnecessary risk, and lose money doing it? Just so they can make fans of other schools happy at the expense of upsetting UF boosters and alum by giving them less home games to attend?

College football is a business. Why would any business be willing to accept less revenue for taking on more risk? And don't confuse "fear" with "risk." They are very different terms. I don't think any program in the SEC is afraid to play anyone. However, I think any reasonable AD would prefer not to take on more risk by playing higher ranked OOC teams away from home if they don't have to in order to compete for a national championship.

So if the current model for setting our schedule is enough to earn us a spot in a national championship, provided we win enough games, why change it? You know the saying.. if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Pretty simple, really.

And frankly, I don't see why LSU fans are so concerned about other SEC teams' schedules. Whining about it just proves you are jealous and don't get it. Don't you want every SEC team to win as many games as possible before/after you play them? Who cares who and where Alabama and Florida play outside of the SEC? If you beat them, you're probably playing for a national championship. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.

How do LSU fans not understand this concept? After what happened in 2007, they of all people should understand just how little OOC games matter when you play in the SEC.
