re: Toughest Schedule in History?

So if Boise would have made it to the NC could you actually say that they deserve to be there because they beat the best teams? They must be "the man" because they beat all the men? Just saying you don't need to play 12 Alabamas. Just play three.

Yeah, couldn't we place Tulane and UL-fillintheblank. I prefer to play crappy teams every week nonconference

Did not say it was the toughest. Just simply posed the question. Notice the question mark. And yes, I do enjoy a little drama from time to time.

Those pussies don't play anyone. That's why they get zero respect from anyone who knows anything about college football.

What's so great about playing 12 Alabamas? We play them once-a-year, not to mention the rest of the SECw and a few from the SECe.

As someone who has been there/done that, I embrace that shite! Playing those inferior teams/conferences is such a waste of time and resources, but it's pretty good for the bottom line.

1988
That's how LSU should open up the season, first four games=

Texas A&M
@ Tennessee
@ Ohio State
@ Gainesville

It just means the really good teams have a challenging schedule with LSU on it.

The 1899 Iron Men team's most notable accomplishment was a six-day period from November 9 to 14 which is arguably the greatest road trip in college football history. Manager Luke Lea put together an improbable schedule of playing five big name opponents in six days, all on the road. Sewanee played and shut out them all while travelling by train for 2500 miles. This feat, barring fundamental changes in modern-day football, can never be equaled.

All this talk about national championships baffles me....considering we're most likely entering the season with JJ at QB.

I dont care about his Cotton Bowl performance. I dont care about his Bama performance. I care that he is not consistent and has shown next to zero improvement since the chikfila bowl a few yrs ago. This guy is not a championship QB. And its sad to say that because I definitely believe all the other pieces are in place. But QB is the most important position by a long shot. I dont see it happening. I hope I'm wrong.

Wow.

There's no reason to be scared of your schedule. That's just weak and I hate when people do that. If you look at the Alabama and Auburn schedules the last 2 years, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would have said there's no way they'll go undefeated. But those teams did indeed go undefeated and win an MNC.
