So then you have no idea. Or you do not want to say how many and what the record is, I get it.
What??? The discussion was about SOS and traveling. What does the record have to do with it?

Just so everyone is clear. the gators want nothing to do with playing Miami, they have basically been forced to since the 80s.
Now that the series is over, sans bowls games, the gators finish up the 25+ years with a 1-7 record vs the Canes.
The gators virtually never leave the State for a decent OOC game, they can candy coat it all they want but that is a fact.
???? Another way to look at it is ....
Just because Miami plays in a piss-poor conference and thus MUST schedule OOC games to look presentable doesn't mean that those teams in decent conferences MUST follow Miami's scheduling practices.
You rarely play Miami, you do play FSU every years because the FL legislature passed a law, if not the gators would play their preffered schedule:
Trinity School for the Blind
GA SO.
Daytona Girls School
Gainsville W. Elementary
;-)
Pot meet kettle? You all have scheduled either famu or bcc the last few years along with fiu and usf

Well so much for his argument.
Last year we went to TAMU... and Mizzou..This argument goes right back around to your in conference SOS.. if we had Duke,wake forrest, virginia, Maryland and BC every year on our schedule we would have to schedule decent ooc games to bring our SOS up.... the most important one was glendale arizona.. and in case you don't remember we won that one.
Duke, WF, UVA, Maryland, and BC = UK, Vandy, Tenn, Arky and Mrs State this year........Oh, and did you just pimp out playing at MIZZOU?
well.. Arky, tennessee, Ole miss, and missouri have all finished in the top 15 at least once in the last 10 years, I don't think you can say the same for the ACC schools.. when you only have 3 currently ranked teams in your conference it makes your SOS weak.. Bama, Lsu, Georgia, and Tamu are all curently ranked in the top ten, with Scar,Ole miss and Florida currently in the top 25.. you have Clemson in the top 5, Fl st 8th and Miami 15th.. thats it for the whole conference.. say what you want to about the rest of the SEC but we have more in the top ten then your whole conference is ranked.
and no im not Pimping out mizzou.. but you did ask what quality opponent we have gone out of state for.. Tamu and Mizzou is who we have played out of state.. and won both thanks.. quality is debateable but D1 is not

I don't know, guys, Kansas State had a pretty tough opponent. #1 North Dakota State. #1 FCS, that is. LOL
To be fair they are probably better than half the sun belt
LOL at the gators here defending their weak out of conference scheduling. That is what this thread is about. Not conference games.
