USC schedules it's first FCS team in the program's history

[7Samurai13]

aTm plays in the SEC they would not be an OOC game for Bama

My bad. No Bama didn’t play an OOC ranked opponent last season.

I always felt like its a misleading brag anyway.
Scheduling an FCS team for the first time in program history.
the split was 1978.
USC has played schools that are now in the in the FCS before the split.

Sssssshh you are going to kill AG’s PAC boner before he can finish.

Boise did also finish ranked EOY in 2007. Roll tide stated no counting bowl games so that would mean no rankings based on bowl results by his standard.

But that’s not an end of year ranking though. The BCS did not and never did an end of year ranking.

Give me a bit I can edit that on wiki.....SC is new to the bake sale format.Did Bama or Clemson play an EOY ranked OOC team last year. You’ve been very helpful

Bama didn't have any regular season OOC wins vs ranked teams, but they did crush the Auburn team that beat #13 Washington on a neutral field. The regular season wins were over #6 LSU & #16 Texas A&M, plus the SEC Championship Game win over #7 Georgia.

It's hilarious that AG has such an issue w/ teams playing FCS opponents while ignoring the fact his Huskies also play an FCS team this year (E. Washington). And here are some other FCS teams the Huskies have played recently.

2018- N. Dakota
2017- Montana
2016- Idaho AND Portland St.
2015- Sacramento St.
2014- E. Washington
2013- Idaho
2012- Portland St.

I think his point is that USC has always thrown this out there and has a holier than thou attitude. UDUB, does not. In my experience.

 

[BamaDude]

I just checked. Boise St. was not ranked in any EOS polls in 2019.

Sorry. I meant to say 2013.

Than bowl games would not be excluded and Washington’s definitely beaten a EOY ranked team well within 17 years. If bowls aren’t being counted EOY is end of the regular season not the end of Bowl season. I’m using the formula given

In 2007, the EOY rankings came out January 7th (coaches) and January 8th (AP). Boise St. was not in either poll. Neither the BCS nor the Harris Interactive Poll did an EOY (post-bowl) ranking.

Just keep waving that PAC12 flag, baby.

AG's been on a hypocritical crusade against all teams that play an FCS opponent for a while now. And I've never seen him mention his own Huskies while badmouthing teams for something his team does.

If that's true, fair enough. I just see it as hypocritical by USC and their chest pounding over the last twenty years.

The End of the Year is when everything is over with.

How exactly has USC been thumping their chests for the last 20 years? Just wondering.

You're kidding?

Well they have been playing the holier than everyone over not playing FCS teams.

They are always bragging about how they don't stoop to the SEC level of scheduling FCS, first off. Mean while, the rest of the PAC does.
And if you don't think they're the most arrogant fan base in the country, you don't know any alumni.

I got no problem w/ that. Actually a bit disappointed they pick an FCS team up. Wish all FBS teams would stop playing cupcake FCS teams.

I would say that UC Davis is probably a tougher foe than some of the OOC opponents USC scheduled in the past like the Minnesota and Syracuse teams that USC scheduled 5-10 years ago. Those teams were terrible. (I know both have improved in recent history).

My argument is if you schedule Minn or Boston College or Syracuse five for six years ahead then there is a chance they could be decent by then or at least have some NFL players at key spots. But if you schedule Citadel, Charleston Southern, Chattanooga or Towsend there's no chance you will find a heartbeat ever.
Not happy about this scheduling and it either wont happen or no one will show and force them to never do it again. How a team can schedule two of these kinda teams every and their fan base be ok with it is beyond me. Better things to do (at least here) than watch and spend money on that kinda game.

Quote the opposite actually. I would love to knock Washington.Tbh I have no idea why one would focus on Washington’s history. To the point they need to shift 20 goal posts. And claim something as fact with a nonsense formula.In a thread about SC’s history. In regards to playing an FCS team for the first time .....
