Alabama's is pretty bad, yes. But according to half of the people here it should be okay since Duke is a P5 team, and we all know by now this the only thing that matters, right?

That makes about zero sense seeing how Bama plays 9 regular season P5 opponents.

So you'd be okay and even brag about Alabama's schedule if they played Duke and Kansas this year I take it? Because these two teams are P5 and would up Alabama's total to 10? The point that I was trying to make is that it matters *who* you play also. Not all P5 teams are equal.

That's a lot of typing just to say "Yes. Alabama is playing the same amount of P5 teams as Washington"
Washington is playing @ BYU ... something Bama doesn't even do with OOC P5 opponents.

Alabama will play at least one ranked opponent on the road in the regular season, something Washington isn't very likely to do.

Pretty easy to be ranked down south when those teams avoid playing their own conference members while playing the least amount of P5 opponents in the country.

Every preseason ranked team from the south is playing as many or more P5 opponents this season as Washington.

This year and no the SEC and ACC don't play as many P5 opponents on average as the PAC and yes the SEC & ACC are on a chickenshit no testicle 8 game conference schedule.

Kinda like Washington is playing a chicken shit, no testicle OOC slate along with the Charmin soft Slack-12 slate.

I personally find it weird that you're bragging about being #102 out of National Universities vs. #129. At that point, it's literally splitting hairs. Alabama has an average 1177 SAT and 3.72 GPA. Oregon has an average 1174 SAT and 3.55 GPA. If it makes you feel better, Clemson is a much, much better school than either of you.

I never bragged about Oregon in this thread, quite the opposite.

So is Bama. They are getting real aggressive at improving their OOC schedule strength. In the next five years, they have 20 slots available to play OOC opponents. In that time, the current breakdown is:
5 P5 opponents (3 neutral sites, 1 home, 1 away)
14 G5/FCS opponents (all at home)
1 open slot

And in that time, a very, very rare occurence will happen. Bama will actually play in the home stadium of another P5 team that is not an SEC member. In 2011, Bama played at Penn State. In 2022, they will play at Texas. Once every eleven years to do so is pretty good ain't it?

I stand corrected. They are scheduled to play @ USF in 2023. They have 2 OOC "ats" in that time frame.

Once every 11 years is about how often Washington beats ranked OOC opponents.

Not only "beats" but they are only scheduled to play AT one OOC P5 the next five years as well...ranked or not. @Michigan in 2021. (They do have two dates available in '22 and one in '23. )

Didn't go back to 11 years but I did go back 5. Washington has only played ONE away P5 OOC the past five years...and that is only if you consider Rutgers a P5!

I'm going to check some other P5 OOCs to see how many of them have visited another P5.

LOL,

Here are your future OOC P5 opponents:

2020 Michigan
2021 Michigan
2024 Ohio St
2025 Ohio St
2028 Michigan St
2031 Michigan St

...and Alabama's

2019 Duke
2020 USC
2021 Miami
2022 Texas
2023 Texas
2026 WVU
2027 WVU
2028 Notre Dame
2029 Notre Dame
2032 Oklahoma
2033 Oklahoma

You guys are really knocking it out of the park, you have as many FCS schools already on your OOC schedule as P5 schools. GTFO with you pussy ass shit. You play in the weakest P5 conference in America, and brag about playing yourself more than anyone else. No wonder you candy asses haven't won a National Championship since Bush Sr was President.
