Knights' playoff hopes are #UCFinished

[WhiteMamba]

4 votes, and 2 from Bamers! I'm so stoked for honors chances at POTY.

You’re like Freddy Linn. ROY and POY in the same season.

 

[Deathroll]

Never said that. But the Buckeye did bring more national championships then the every other FL coach combined. Just a simple thank you will suffice. You are welcome.

UF owns OSU head to head. Just take the "L" and move on.

 

[Deathroll]

You just keep defending the yearly FCS cupcakes your team plays. It's funny. No wonder you think playing an FCS team is equal to playing a bad P5 team. Your team plays UT Martin & Towson this year.

2018- Charleston Southern & Idaho
2017- N. Colorado (fucking hilarious)


That's 5 FCS cupcakes in 3 years.

I don't defend it. They're cupcakes. But then again so are the likes of Buffalo, fau, Akron, etc. Those teams have absolutely no chance against a major opponent. Everybody knows it. I've never understood why anybody thinks "your creampuffs are creampuffier than our creampuffs" is a legitimate argument. So what? They're creampuffs. They have no chance at all.

The Buckeyes have not always scheduled the best OOC schedule but they have played some great top teams.
Looking back about 10 years or so hey had Texas, USC, Miami, Cal, VT, OK and TCU.
I wont say they are the best in the country but at the time TX, USC, Miami and OK were top teams. Miami fell short but that game was scheduled after the 2002 NC game when they were on top.

Big props to the Bucks for scheduling those games.

Oregon has always been aggressive in scheduling. It’s great. I wouldn’t have it any other way, even if they lose. For me the experience of getting games with home and homes and neutral sight traditional powers is better than the results, as UO doesn’t always win those games. It at least lets the fans know they are trying and also it’s giving us a measuring tool to see where we are.

I was so disappointed when UGA and atm cancelled the home and homes. I think atm replaces it with Clemson and UGA I’m not sure.

Go home. You're drunk.

ohio is playing non conf games in other states than their own too.

I know, that’s weird.

How many non conference games has Florida played outside of Florida over the last 30 years?

 

[7Samurai13]

And if we can claim that Cincinnati is decent (the hardest game OSU has this year OOC), then sure as shit USF is decent as well. They went 11-2 and 10-2 prior to last season. Regardless, the Gators also have FSU those 2 seasons.

I already covered that.

That’s fine. They played a joke of an out of conference this year and have no room to criticize anyone’s OOC this year.

 

[ralphiewvu]

I figured it was about time DR starts relentlessly defend UF’s past, present and future OOC opponents. It has been a while.

Yes, yes, yes DR we know you’ll hide behind your rival 2 hours down the road being good so you shouldn’t have to schedule anyone else OOC.

What strength of schedule formula takes state borders into account?

Has the selection committee clarified how much more a win out of state is valued at over a team in-state?

Bout time y'all relentlessly focused on something that is completely irrelevant like state borders over things that are relevant like y'know, the actual quality of the opponent.

You are talking about quality of opponent in one breath and another your are trying to pass off USF and Colorado as such.

I was quite willing to concede the point regarding usf. Regarding Colorado, they're a P5 opponent. Isn't this what y'all claim is so important....out of state, hell out of time zone. Now suddenly they don't count as such???

Be reasonable. You want to act like like playing a team that has had 1 winning season in the last 12 years is some quality opponent. An also stop acting like going 2 hours down the road to play someone is the same as traveling 2 time zones away.

Now suddenly you're completely shifting gears. I've long argued that it is the QUALITY of the opponent rather than lines on a map which matter. This is what the pollsters all think too. This is what the selection committee thinks too.

So now UF picks up a P5 opponent in a completely different region albeit one that has not been very good and instead of being happy about it, suddenly you pull a complete about face and start complaining about the quality of that opponent...adopting my argument all along.

I'm in fact not acting like going 2 hours down the road to play someone is the same as traveling 2 time zones away. Hell, UF should drop fsu and only play Colorado. That would be scheduling "just like everybody else" which I've been told is what UF should be doing. Right? Right?

Or will you spin around 180 degrees again and now say air miles and time zones and lines on a map don't really matter and its the actual quality of the opponent which matters after all? Make up your mind.

I’m not switching gears whatsoever. I’m laughing at you for calling Colorado a quality opponent. They aren’t. I’m happy you are playing them but the fact that you think UF has a better OOC coming up than Ohio State and naming Colorado and USF as part of the reason why is more than hilarious.

You say state lines don’t matter but surely you see the difference in flying to Colorado rather than driving to Tallahassee, right?

Again no one is spinning anything. You are getting laughed at for calling Colorado and USF quality opponents.

Yes you are. Out of state out of timezone P5 opponent. Now suddenly you bitch about it. This was the very thing you called for.

I'm willing to bet UF continues to play more ranked OOC opponents than Ohio State OOC over the next 13 years (as far ahead as UF has scheduled).

Is there a difference in flying to Colorado vs driving to Tally? Sure there is! Is there a difference in quality between fsu and Colorado over time? Sure there is!

You don't call a P5 opponent a quality opponent? Well, if being ranked isn't the measure of quality and different time zone, different state and lots of air miles isn't quality, what pray tell does constitute a "quality" opponent?

No I’m not. I’m just asking you to not act like an absolute retard and pretend Colorado is a quality opponent. They, like USF aren’t. So you touting that bs that it makes your OOC better than Ohio states is bull. Colorado is better than you clowns playing Towson and Western Carolina.

There are quality P5 teams and not quality P5 teams. You aren’t dumb, so stop playing like you are. In no way, shape or form has Colorado looked like a quality opponent in over a decade.

Of course you’d bet you finish with more ranked opponents than OSU, you’d also play more opponents too. Even in all that, you’d just be banking on FSU and maybe Utah.

That's funny. I'm asking you to not act like a complete retard and try to deny that fsu and miami played in the same state, are still high quality opponents. Yet you seem to want to focus on state lines and air miles and time zones instead of how good an opponent actually is.

Well...that is until UF schedules one such P5 opponent and now suddenly they don't count. Trying to say OSU's OOC schedules have been as good as UF's is just bullshit. They have not played as many opponents who ended up ranked. (here's where you shift back to air miles, state lines, etc).

Guess what. fsu and miami are quality P5 teams. They have been for a long time. Stop trying to act like they are not because we don't cross a state line to play them.

Ohh spare that BS. You have played Miami 7 times since the 80’s. Stop trying to claim them as a steady OOC opponent.

You are the one literally trying to act as if all P5 are the same. They aren’t. Again, stop acting like a fucking retard and realize there is a huge difference in scheduling Colorado, a team with 1 winning record since 2007 and a team like Oregon that has played in the playoff.

We aren’t talking about the past, we are talking about future OOC. You continue to hide behind the fact FSU has carried your OOC and you clowns are too chicken shit to travel. Now you start traveling and want to be patted on the back for going to a team who has 1 winning record in 13 seasons. You want respect for your (extra game) OOC, try scheduling a quality OOC.

No, spare ME the BS of trying to argue that distance trumps quality. It doesn't. miami is an opponent UF has scheduled about 1/4 of the time since the 12th game was added. That's fairly regular.

I'm not acting like all P5s are the same. My argument all along is that they aren't. Have you read nothing I've written? Ranked opponents are better than unranked opponents. Try doing some actual fucking reading for a change and realize that there is a huge difference playing fsu and miami which have 7 national titles and at least 20 top 5 finishes since 1980.

Future OOC? UF has been filling up its schedule with a second P5 opponent for almost every year except 25-26 for which a second OOC opponent hasn't been lined up yet. You pussies try to hide behind the fact that you have more air miles while UF has actually played a lot more quality OOC opponents than you have. Nobody gives a shit about air miles or state lines except message board trolls. Not the pollsters. Not the selection committee. Nobody whose opinion counts for anything.


Your obsessive dedication about trying to argue about my team's OOC schedules when my team has played more quality OOC opponents than yours has is truly amazing.
