My response whenever I think about some twit that's school chose to be in an Almost Competitive Conference telling me anything about SoS's.
UF lost to GaSo in the 6th game of a 7 game losing streak, while suffering an NCAA all time worst 72 lost starts to injury. Sorry, but that doesn't embarrass me nearly as much as if my Undefeated and #1 Ranked team had lost a mNC game by 32 pts....
You had injuries, we had the flu.
btw, UF's SOS in 1996 wasn't #1...it was #8.
Depends on who YOU CHOOSE to listen to on the ranking, just like in recruit rankings....
1996 Florida Played:
8-3 AU (8-4)
10-0 FSU (not even playing an ACC-C game)
10-2 Tn
10-2 LSU
10-2 Bama (10-3) for SEC-C
11-0 FSU (11-1) for mNC
While 1996 FSUcks played:
0-11 Dukie
3-8 NCSt
3-8 WF
5-6 GaTech
5-6 Maryland
You had injuries, we had the flu.
Georgia Sounthern was beat up that game too. They were without 19 of their only 65 players.

Interesting...I don't recall the monikers, "Road Warriors", "Anytime, Anywhere", or "King of the Road" ever being bestowed on UF before. Bowden built FSU on the the premise of playing anyone, anywhere and he did (win or lose) and that's a fact.
As I posted before (based on actual numbers):
Average SOS 1980-2009
UF #16.53333
FSU #17.16667
Yes, FSU had more lows across those averages, but to say FSU is "plain-ole chicken-chits" is false...although, I'm certain it makes you feel better. Heck, just last year FSU scheduled, Ok State, ND and UF as their OOC. Not our fault all those teams sucked.
Furthermore, you may want to talk to the media:
Florida
- 08/30 – Idaho
- 09/06 – Eastern Michigan
- 11/22 – Eastern Kentucky
- 11/29 – at Florida St.
But that doesn’t excuse Florida from opening the season against two of the most historically inept programs in all of college football: the Idaho Vandals and the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Other than the quick blip-on-the-radar 2009 season that saw Idaho win the Humanitarian Bowl, the team has been so awful that the school found itself, along with New Mexico State, without a home in 2013 after the WAC dissolved. Now an official member of the Sun Belt, the Vandals open the season in Gainesville where the awaiting Gators have “challenged” themselves with an opening game versus a 2013 defense that was 126th in college football giving up 46.8 points per game. 124th in defense at 45.2 points per game? Eastern Michigan.

Lol insta, you need to stop bringing up Georgia Southern as evidence of your tough schedule. Number one, you lost to them. Number two, they were a decent 1aa team, nothing more.
But really, don't bring up injuries. Don't bring up how good they are. Just don't.

The CHICKEN-CHIT was and is for joining the Cupcakes instead of the SEC.

2015 -- First 4 games:

2014 -- FSUcks 9-6-14 The Citadel (non 1A)
2013 -- First 3 games:

2012 -- First 3 games:

As to that anywhere, any time bs....
I just ran out and grabbed a totally random year for your perusal...
FSUcks 1979 Opponents Combined W/L Record: 62 - 61 - 3 = 62/126 (.492)
Highest Ranked Opponent was 8-4 SCa. So GTFOH with that PR/BS.
PS
I don't recall S.I. Calling FSUcks the 'Mountain Top' of College Sports.

After thinking about this some more It would be kind of cool to drop UF. We could potentially move Miami to the Thanksgiving Saturday spot and arrange a new head to head series with one of Bama, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, ATM, Nebraska, etc. for earlier in the season. Nationally televised game after Thanksgiving with the best recruits in the country from south Florida watching. Add to that a more national audience if we add a Texas, ATM, etc. Cha Ching. I guess there could be the concern that the SEC would block this like they did on our entrance to the SEC so many years ago but in today's arms race I think the thought of more money wins out.
Now that I'm cool with. Move Miami and beef up our schedule with various home-home P5 teams and let UF replace us with continuous home games of Idaho, New Mexico State, etc. and just tout their SEC schedule while their OOC is a total stinker. As the parody continues and the SEC does a little more "losing" like they did in 2014, then they can enjoy their "influx of cash flow" due to there extra "home game."
* No, but their RB (among others) is now playing in the NFL.
And UF had and has one of the top secondary's in the nation.
Among the 72 lost starts, was all 3 of UF's MLB's, plus 2 of the OLB.
At that point, local GHS might have been able to give them a game.
2014 7-5 UF 38 - 20 UGA 10-3 #9 Ranked.
UF only completed 6 passes while rushing for 425 yds and 4 TD's.
Unbalanced games sometimes happen. Are you new?

And I noticed that you ran away from addressing your own early season chump games.

Total BS avoidance of reality, with more bs speculations and delusional opinions.
2015 FSUcks vs TxSt <<<
2014 9-3 GaSo 28 - 25 TxSt <<<
2014 7-5 UF vs Idaho - rained out
2013 6-6 TxSt 37 - 21 Idaho
2013 14 - 0 FSUcks 80 - 14 Idaho 1-11 <<<<<<<<
So Idaho being rained out is equivilent to not playing them? You're troll'n hard, insta.
Also, just so we're clear, I'm not bashing UF's schedule. I don't have a problem with it (never have). I'm simply pointing out (to MJ) that dropping FSU in favor of an annual throw away game isn't the best option (and he knows this).
If you'll notice, my argument isn't that FSU's schedule is better than UF's, nor is it that UF's isn't typically strong. My argument (and I've backed it up with data) has been that FSU's isn't as cotton soft as you want it to be. Has it had its down seasons? Certainly. But FSU has had some really tough schedules since the 80's (the line I drew equally for both teams in my data).

Wrong. They paid for their tickets in the spring. They don't get their money back for being a no-show.
Oh just stop it. I never said I was in favor of the proposal. (Have you learned to read yet?). I just noted that Florida does not need a home and home FSU from either a financial perspective or a SOS perspective. I proved the former point and I don't think I need to prove the later point. You are the one trying to make this a P5 thing.
As I mentioned to another FSU fan, you guys seem to have an incredible need to oversell your importance to us and the college football world.
OK sure. But consecutive yearly home games is much better for those folks too, rather than home and home
False;btw, UF's SOS in 1996 wasn't #1...it was #8.
1996 National Championship Recap
Behind arguably the finest offensive unit in SEC history, a solid defense that registered a school record six touchdowns, and some good fortune late in the year, the Florida Gators capped off the greatest season in school history with a rousing 52-20 victory over number one ranked Florida State in the Nokia Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on January 2, 1997 to claim the consensus 1996 national championship.
Florida became one of just three teams in NCAA history to be named the national champions in the same season in which it faced a schedule that the NCAA deemed the nation's toughest. Penn State (1984 champion), Colorado (1990 co-champion) and Florida (1996 champion) were the only teams in NCAA history to accomplish that feat.
So if UF doesn't "need" FSU, then why the heck play the game? If you are truly a representation of the UF thought machine, why hasn't the game been scratched in favor of an annual home game?
The reason I brought P5 into it was you're not going to be able to schedule an OSU or a USC without returning the game. You'll only get away with that by paying some scrub to come to the Swamp. Why on earth would you even suggest such a thing (proving a point or otherwise)?
Do you know how to read? I mean seriously? I articulated why I thought the game was and should be played. To wit;
"The game is important. But not from a financial standpoint. Or a SOS standpoint. In fact, if it wasn't such a long standing rivalry, we might do well to look elsewhere."
Good grief. You and your brethren are such whiny little shits.
False;

I guess it just depends on the source. I've stuck to a single source, so as not to appear to be moving the goal posts. My reason for choosing this source (the one I've used all along) was simply based on access.
UF #8: http://www.phys.utk.edu/sorensen/cfr/cfr/output/1996/CF_1996_Ranking_Schedule.html

8 9449 Florida 13 12 - 1 8 9449
I'm all for dropping the gators if we could play Bama or other interesting top 10 teams in home and home series. The gators are absolutely killing our SOS right now and doesn't look like that will change in the near future.
Oh for wyatt's sake. That "source" 1-AA several schools as having tougher schedules than Florida that year.
Try and use a respectable source. I quoted the NCAA as a source. Try that.
Are you seriously using this as a source? Seriously? There is only one 1-A program ranked higher than Florida.
If it seems like we are mocking you, rest easy. We most certainly are mocking you.
