Toughest Schedule Teams that UF plays:
@ FSUcks
LSU
@ Ark
Plus likely Bama -- if UF wins the SECe again.
=======

Weakest Schedule Teams that UF plays:
NADA
=======

Now, you do the same for your school.... so we can all compare...

(and yeah, I'll occasionally hit the 'show ignored' option to slap a troll, so what?)

What kind of metric is determined by playing teams that have tough or easy schedules. The only metric I've ever ever considered in this area is the SOS- which is determined by the strength of the teams on your schedule. EX.: say Ap St played every team in the top 10 and say lost them all, they'd have that above-mentioned tough schedule but then say they play your team. Simply playing the toughest or easiest sched. doesn't determine much. Even SOS must be considered with rationality since as in the prev. example Ap ST would have the #1 SOS but be 0-10 and might be a fine team or really a dog. I know it's off-season but just wondering how this is valid?

Southern Cal's schedule is ridiculous this year.

RRT Captian doing work. I like it!

 

[Countygator]

Haven't played a game yet, so who knows. Looks like some Big 10 bias going on here.

Ranking SOS at the beginning of the year is like pre-season ranking. Fun, but pretty useless.

It's the off-season and spring football is now in the past. What else are we going to discuss? (I hate baseball)

 

[MJWilliamson]

Baseball, softball, gymnastics

Smart move by the Big 10. When conference play starts, they'll have a number of overrated teams because of their records against weak competition.

"Sure, Purdue finished the season 4-8, but they were ranked #23 when we played them."

When Presbyterian, Umass, and North Texas are on your schedule, schedule smack is not as fun.

The Presbyterian "Blue Hose"??? Dafuq?

 

[sadgator]

Suppose that is better than the blue hoes...

 

[MJWilliamson]

sad, that post is exclusionary.

But you play in the SEC...those other games are 110% irrelevant.

To wit: Florida's SOS will probably be better that the FSU SOS at the end of the season

Of course it will. Every loss to an SEC team basically bears the same weight as a win. No way to compete with that.

Oh Dear. Bless your little heart.

Old ladies tend to say the same things over and over...

They do indeed. And misogynist assholes tend to do the same thing

Something like that.

Amazing, Mich has such an easy sched and doesn't even get to play Fla. lol, check the record, we own the sec.

Bless your little heart.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Ipso facto

 

[BringBackBonner]

I think it's highly likely that FSU ends up with a tougher schedule than us this year. ESPN's Power Index projects their schedule at #3 and ours at #49. Good for them, it's a been a while since they have played the tougher slate.
