It appears Florida will play 4 FCS team in 2 years

@JuiceTheGator No one complains about the lack of OOC games in the pac12...

The PAC 12? Isn’t that the conference that brags about all of their non-major sport championships? To be fair, no one complains about their OOC schedule because everyone forgets they're still playing football sometime in October.

Thanks for not blotting these out, Juice. For a Gaduh, you're a stand up guy.

No one complains about the lack of non conference from the Big10 or Big12 either.

Florida wants a 2 for 1.

And? It's not the SEC. It's Florida.

So you have abandoned the OOC schedule argument and have moved to bashing other p5s...

 

[ralphiewvu]

Then y'all bitch about our lack of OOC games. It's easy to whine about the dominant conference. Yip yip yip.

It's amazing just how deep and competitive the SEC East has been for a very long time. Florida only has a .546% winning record in conference play the past 30 years. Still, that's been enough to show up in Atlanta from time to time.

You go to 9 conference games you won’t have 8 teams in the top 25. An that “dominant conference” talk will take a hit.

 

[Sabansjoylessmurderball]

Let’s just be honest. If either of those conferences (or the PAC) were to even approach the success that the SEC has had, there would be complaints. The bitching and crying would target the successful programs and conferences.

 

[Sabansjoylessmurderball]

No, I’m mocking the hypocrisy and wringing of hands from less successful teams.

 

[963BUSC]

As an Idaho fan I thought it was pretty cool of Florida to keep their schedule with the Vandals. After the 1 play game both schools worked to get the game back, Idaho dropped a division, but Florida kept the game.

I think you would be hard pressed to find people to complain about the B1G’s scheduling, 9 conference games, minimal FCS games, usually good P5 opponents. We just don’t win the games.

Oh, my new friend, you’re horribly overrating the intelligence of the average football fan, and underestimating the hypocrisy. You don’t hear complaints now, but win 4 straight championships, or even 3 out of 4, and see what happens.

 

[Neilcar]

I am not sure why the back-lash on this post. It is fairly straight forward with the facts...

1. It is not about SEC - it is about Florida.

2. Florida has scheduled 2 FCS teams for 2 years in a row ... (feel free to look it up and prove me wrong).

My opinion is that it is not a coincidence

One of next years teams I actually an independent FBS program.

I apologize. We didn’t introduce Neil correctly over here. He’s simply the most dull, unimaginative troll from Rivals. He’s a Texas fan (supposedly) who does 2 things. Trolls Florida about OOC games, and trolls Texas A&M. Don’t ever read a post of his and reply to it with actual facts, or put any thought into your response whatsoever. Nothing he posts is to be taken seriously. In fact, if he told you the sky was blue, I’d be convinced the apocalypse was upon us and the sky had changed colors.

Don’t worry, I think all of you Rivals posters are just one person doing a gigantic troll.

I've yet to hear a single credible person complain that the conferences with 9 game conference schedules have an unfair advantage.

 

[7Samurai13]

Because I am so SMRT.

On what basis? There is literally 0 argument to claim the 9 game conference schedule is an advantage.
