re: strength of schedule complaints

That's the point. Elite teams play these games, like we and VT did in '07. Somebody (LSU) wins, and puts themselves in a great position to win the NC. Somebody (VT) loses, and maybe is out of the picture. Somebody else (Kansas) plays complete crap and they go to the Orange Bowl with an 11-1 record while a two-loss team plays in the NC game.

Nuts ,I totally agree . The only reason VT was hurt losing to us in 07 ( and that was only for a while ) was that we beat them so badly . That usually doesn't happen in these games. UF , UG & USCe all have traditional rivalries outside the SEC , Arky is taking on the big Texas schools ,
Tenn always schedules a big out of conference game , Auburns done it & Bama's doing it. We don't have to schedule a top 5 or even a top 10 ooc game each year. But we should should have at least 1 top 30ish occ each year.

lets put it this way / in 2007

lose to VT = no chance for NC
beat VT = chance for NC
not playing VT = no chance for NC

I like the odds of us playing them & winning !
