it still pisses me off that we play one of them damn near every year.

with the price of tickets these days, at least get us a FBS team.
i mean jesus h. tap dancing christ, there's a handful of FBS teams in state we could grab.

oh, wait...we bought our way out of the Toolame series so we could have an extra home game every year.

Mike Slive can get his 3rd place team into the NC game. He should make scheduling at least two FCS teams and no road OOC games mandatory.

If anyone has the stats on the SOS rankins of the last 6 BCSNCs I'd love to see it.

Edit: Found it

YEAR TEAM SOS
2011 - Alabama (2)
2010 - Auburn (2)
2009 - Alabama (1)
2008 - Florida (9)
2007 - LSU (20)

You do realize the circular reasoning behind those, correct?

When we've won almost 70% of our 25 BCS appearances compared to the ACC's 13%, I think you start to see a trend about SEC strength of schedule that is independent of what you infer. Ranking the SEC highly as a false indicator of SOS would have more punch if when we played the best of other conferences we lost at a greater rate that would justify a claim of unfairly boosted SOS. We don't.

I'm not debating the strength of the SEC as has been played out. I'm debating the process which inherently takes previous history as a basis for present considerations.

Clearly - you simply aren't getting it.
Those wins don't mean dick because they were played within a 250 mile radius of the home university and were played in mild or warm weather.

The only games that mean anything require a minimum 8 hour drive and/or weather below 40 degrees.

Not at all what I was alluding to.
