I love folks that try to use this tactic to disparage the SEC. Let's use last year's schedule versus, say, Texas, using the rankings of the College Football Ranking Composite:
Florida Opponent------Rank-------Rank--------Texas Opponent
Ole Miss...........................6th..........4th..............Oklahoma
LSU...............................10th..........8th...............TCU
Tennessee......................15th........11th...............Notrte Dame
Florida State...................16th........13th...............Baylor
Georgia..........................25th........24th...............Okie State
Mizzou...........................69th........31st................Cal
Vandy............................79th........32d.................West Virginia
ECU...............................80th........48th................Texas Tech
Kentucky........................81st.........63d.................Kansas State
South Carolina................83d..........81st................Iowa State
FAU..............................104th.......103d................Rice
NM State.......................121st.......122d................Kansas
Average..........................56th.........45th
Now, this was one of Florida's weakest schedules in the last 40 years. How does their schedule look after the regular season?
Alabama...........................1st
Michigan...........................9th
The average for Florida drops down to 49th...and this is among Florida's WEAKEST schedules in the modern era. The 2003 Florida schedule averaged 35th...
