Those Who Defended Our 2008 OOC Schedule

The flip side of that is if we scheduled one decent OOC opponent from a major conference, we are 6-6 and possibly missing a bowl game.

people really defended our ooc schedule this year?? HOW!!
other than Va Tech when was the last BIG ooc game.
I can't stand ohio st. but no one can say they are scared. Texas home and home then USC home and home?? That's an OOC schedule

Our OOC schedule needs to be upgraded. It would be the coolest thing if we would play at least one top notch OOC team every year.

To be fair though, LSU's SEC schedule was significantly harder than Bama's or Florida's, making up for the 1 better OOC game those two played

Point being, the "SEC is tough enough" argument while true most years, is no guarantee, and since you never know when it will be down, isn't it worth the risk to schedule decent...doesn't have to be great...just decent OOC opponents?

Sure was last year.

They didn't,

bullshite they didn't. yeah, a lot of people were pissed, including myself, but there were tons of people defending it.

You're joking, right?

Even with the weak OCC schedule, if LSU were to have been denied after playing UF, SC, Bama and UG, they're just fricking morons. Same with UF, and their loss was to Ole Miss, not a major player as far as the national scene is.

Why does USC get to be propped up playing WHAT WAS ONCE a good OOC schedule while playing in conference chumps.

For the football impaired:

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE QUALITY OF THE OCC SCHEDULE IS, AS LONG AS A TEAM PLAYS QUALITY OPPONENTS, AND SEC SCHOOLS PLAY MORE THAN ANYONE.

Don't believe me? Look at the rankings. Thaqt'a all that really shuld matter when it comes to "quality of schedule."

I think they want SEC schools to be beaten down with week in - week out top notch opponents while other, more profitable teams roll over pussy conference teams in between powder puff opponents.

frick 'em.

Tell it to the BCS. Like I said originally, if there is even a remote possibility of UF being denied, when they played and beat two BCS conference opponents, what makes you think we'd have any chance with the shite we played?

wait, you're saying beating VT didn't matter last year? we don't get to the title game without it. and also, did you miss 2004 AU not getting in?

Typically, but not this year. You're not seriously throwing SC in with UF and Bama are you?

That's definitely not what I was suggesting...decent opponents, a couple from BCS conferences preferably. Doesn't have to be juggernauts.

---

The chances of us going undefeated are virtually zip so we need to have a good OOC game scheduled every year.

---

Exactly, especially considering we haven't done so in 50 years. Not exactly the sort of thing you want to bet the farm while scheduling 4 cupcakes.

and at the begin of the year its looked like we'd have 5 counting the SEC CG

Right...and that's what I mean. I would have assumed the same, but it happened in 04 and now 08 where the conference was a bit down. And in 04, it wasn't as down as it is now and Auburn STILL got left out.
