I think that's more of a stat to show who has strung together the most consecutive doormats for season openers.

Just read the article. Looks like Nebrasky threw in some decent competition in the streak. Kudos

If I were a Florida fan, I wouldn't be too proud of this statistic, since the Gators haven't left the state for an OOC game in well over 20 years, and usually open up with FCS teams, low end FBS schools, and almost never travel to begin the year. They have elevated cowardly scheduling to an art! Nebraska is much more legit.

I will say this about the Huskers also, they have as dedicated a fan base as in all college football.

USC's is pretty impressive. Their streak includes Auburn (x2), Virginia Tech, @ Arkansas, Penn St, @ Virginia, and Purdue (with Drew Brees).

Peanut gallery chimes in again!
UF's SOS over past 18 years (that's how long BSU has been pretending to be FBS) is in the top 10! BSU is above 90! THAT'S the definition of cowardly scheduling.

Don't believe me -- look in your dictionary under cowardly and you'll find Boise State's Football Schedule.

Come back when BSU's SOS cracks the top 25 for even ONE season.

LSU has as well

 

[FSUmanager]

Not really an important stat considering the majority of competition were doormats. The ACC screwed up the BEST first weekend game of all time. FSU and Miami.

Season opening win streak for South Carolina ends today!

Bwahaha, a Boiseian talking about a school playing weak teams. Hello pot!

LSU has as well

LSU has been the SEC’s standard bearer in the past decade when it comes to these marquee nonconference openers. LSU's aforementioned 45 straight nonconference wins in the regular season is the nation’s longest streak. That includes wins in 11 straight openers, against such opponents as TCU, Oregon, North Carolina, Washington, Oregon State and Arizona State. LSU beating Wisconsin would be another feather in the SEC’s cap, solidifying its status as the nation’s best conference.

What Gator said. And oh yeah, show us your crystal footballs and/or rings BSU........

West Virginia drops out.

South Carolina drops out.

Nebraska extends to 29 with a mighty win over the FAU Owls who are coached by a Partridge.

Alabama, Ohio State, and Missouri extend.

I don't dispute your point, UF plays a lot of tough schools. But Florida only has control over 3 games. They can't help their conference, indeed, it makes the university shiploads of money. Their budget is 4 times bigger than my school's. The FSU game is set in stone. That leaves 3 games. With the rare exception of a Miami or one of the top FBS schools in the state, the Gators CHOOSE, key word here, to fill up the rest with patsies, almost always in Gainesville. They play FCS teams and really bad FBS teams, year after year.

Those numbers can't be argued. It's in black and white. Look it up.

Boise State plays in a different conference. They can't help that, and if you haven't noticed they are doing everything they can to find a better fit. It isn't like they can pick up the phone and join the SEC. They have a smaller market, smaller budget and use 2 and 3 star recruits to get 4 and 5 star results. And their scheduling practices put you guys to shame. They have voluntarily gone on the road each and every year to play a name team, usually in their house or in a "neutral" site that favors the opponent.

When they play teams from other non top 5 conferences, they do it fairly, as a home and home deal. You Gators don't travel, you Gators don't do home and homes with those sad sacks you sign up either. Hell, go to Idaho if you want to play them so bad.

Like I said, no one can control the conference schedules or those long standing rivalry games. And you bet, I won't begrudge an occasional cupcake game. But not three of them.

Besides, Boise would LOVE to play you guys, but they ain't stupid, like Idaho is. They want more than a paycheck, they want a legitimate shot. And they'd prefer having a return trip to the Blue. Why not, Gators? After all, every thing is in Florida colors up here. Hell, we'd let you guys wear the blue jerseys if you want. But we all know that won't happen. Not enough money and a damn good chance that you'd lose. So go ahead, pound your chest about decisions that others make for you. In the decisions that your school actually controls, I'll say it again, mostly cowardly and greedy.

Like I said, cancel the Idaho game, and come on up to our fair state and play a team that won't just lay on their backs for you. And the weather will be much nicer. Come late in the year, and we'll try for some snow, you know the way the game is supposed to be played.

Sorry, Bamabear. I keep forgetting that using more than a couple of sentences tends to lose you. I'll try to keep it under three lines. A mind's a terrible thing to waste, but in your case, we'll make an exception.
