Well that statistic sucks because there were many years Oklahoma was in the top 10 while playing A&M and A&M wasn't.

Ok, let's remove Oklahoma from TAM's schedule and TAM from Oklahoma's schedule.

The new numbers are:
In BCS era for the regular season schedules (corrected as above):
#AP Top 10 opponents: OU 16; TAM 22
#AP Ranked opponents: OU 52; TAM 52
#opponents with D1A winning records OU 100; TAM 97

Now can we agree that OU shouldn't be throwing stones at TAM? If they do then OU should have stones thrown back at them.

So what that means, is that until two years ago, the Big XII was scheduling a lot of stuff. It has minimal bearing on the SEC.

This mini-discussion began with an OU fan can be calling out Texas A&M for poor scheduling

I actually think of this with all cupcakes. Teams want to schedule them to pump up their win column and play a glorified practice, ala Baylor, A&M, ect...then by all means start charging them to do so. How important is that "w" in the win column for you.

thus, it has NO bearing on the SEC. You seem to have included that into the discussion. I was merely pointing out that there isn't much difference in scheduling between OU and A&M so calling A&M's scheduling as "cupcakes" would also mean OU is scheduling cupcakes.

#AP Top 10 opponents: OU 16; TAM 30
#AP Ranked opponents: OU 55; TAM 63
#opponents with D1A winning records OU 109; TAM 110

Perhaps some sage advice?

If your slate is clean then you can throw stones,
if it is not then leave them alone.
or
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I had no idea OU played 55 ranked AP opponents out of conference in the BCS era.

That's ALL of OU's regular season schedule and NOT just OOC.

So is this how it is now....Gator fans and A&M fan's hold hands?



The topic was Kansas and scheduling, which would be an OCC, game to those teams outside of the Big 12. Did you even see A&M's OCC schedule this year. Judging by your comments I guess not. Besides OU is 19-12 all time against the Ags.

Looks like we gotz dat Gaytor edjumacation just like Corrine Brown gotz.

Go Gaytor!

OOC scheduling is a sore subject for a&m and Florida.

Nice try dipstick but you were the one that brought up A&M.

I merely pointed out how foolish it was for a Sooner to be throwing trash at others whose schedule is at least as good as the Sooner's. Since you can't argue with the fact you resort to childish name calling. Is that what they taught you at OU?

PS. One year is called an anomaly. Twenty years is a trend.

HUH? We play UCLA and BYU. You play FSU and then a few high schools after that. If it wasn't for FSU becoming relevant last year, UF's OOC would suck a bowl of dicks compared to Texas's OOC schedule.

 

[iowajerms]

I think it will be funny if Kansas schedules a few home-and-home against SEC top programs and has a magical few years and beats the SEC teams and then struggle in conference.

 

[KansasSooner]

I don't know why the SEC wants to play Kansas, hell they already have a basketball school that plays piss poor football, Kentucky. Maybe they should schedule Iowa State instead.

I stopped bashing Florida's OOC schedule. They do have a tough one. They just don't leave the state to do it.

Texas hasn't played a ranked OOC in the regular season in the 5 years (2006 was the last time)! AND you want to bow up! Boy, you are a joke! Texas has played 4 (as in FOUR) MAJOR OPPONENTS in the past 5 seasons and 0 (as in ZERO) were ranked!!

2010 Texas lost to 4-8 UCLA!!!
Texas beat 6-8 UCLA
2012 Texas beat 7-6 Mississippi
2013 Texas lost to 8-5 Mississippi

In 17 OOC games, Texas has played---
Zero AP ranked teams (as in 0%)
4 Majors (as in 23.5%)(only 2 of which had winning records--SEC teams of course.
6 that had D1A winning records (as in 35.3%)!
This is a Texan's idea of GOOD OOC games!!

In 20 OOC games, Florida has played
2 AP top 10 teams (as in 10.0%)
4 AP ranked teams (as in 20.0%)
7 Majors (all of which had winning records!) (as 35%)
12 had D1A winning records (as in 60.0%).


I'm not sure if you are a representative of all Texas fans but you, sir, are delusional if you think the OOC schedule played by Texas is anywhere comparable to that played by Florida (except every once in a Blue Moon)! You need to LOOK UP facts BEFORE you post!

What's next you're going to narrow down the window to the first week of September? Show me that "the past few years" are anything but an anomaly!

I appreciate all the stats and stuff, but most people around here don't care and just want to throw shit at people.
