		<description>Printing this must have been community service.  Stop the short bus and ask one of the kids to write you an article while you take the Thanksgiving weekend off.  The single dumbest thing I&#039;ve read on the net in weeks (which is saying a lot).  Florida&#039;s OOC isn&#039;t strong, but they play in the toughest conference every year.  Then they&#039;ve beaten the &quot;best of the rest&quot; in the National Championship.  You are functionally retarded, but only barely.</description>

		<description>The premise of the article is just absurd.  So many reasons you don&#039;t know what you&#039;re talking about I don&#039;t know where to go first.

Ok, for starters as about 100 people have pointed out, Florida&#039;s strength of schedule in the years they won the national championships is better than any other national champions ...without exception.  If Florida isn&#039;t deserving, i guess no other champions are either.

I heard you with the pathetic complaint &quot;I&#039;m not talking about strength of schedule look at their OOC schduling.&quot; Let me ask you this.  If Florida&#039;s schedule is consistently better than most  of the other major schools with this OOC system, why are you complaining about it?  Why not go tell USC to stop scheduling San Jose State so that maybe they can get a strength of schedule equal to Florida&#039;s.  Why not tell Ohio State to stop scheduling Akron and Toledo so that they can maybe match Florida&#039;s strength of Schedule?  Go complain about Texas&#039; game against UTEP. If Florida&#039;s strength of schedule is already tougher than the above, why should they be the one&#039;s to schedule more aggressively?

You can&#039;t draw some stupid artificial distinction between conference games and OOC games.  It doesn&#039;t matter where your losses come, you won&#039;t be playing for the national championship if you have too many.  

Florida doesn&#039;t get to play Northwestern, Indiana, Michigan State, Illinois, and Minnesota in conference.  Nor do they play Baylor, Iowa State, Colorado, and Kansas, and Texas A&amp;M.  Find me 4 or 5 teams that weak in the SEC...it&#039;s not possible.  The fact is an SEC schedule is tougher than any non-SEC conference schedule.  That&#039;s why Florida can schedule weak OOC games and still end up with a tougher Strength of Schedule rating.

You have to look at the whole schedule.  Complaining about only OOC scheduling is like going out to dinner and having the best steak you&#039;ve ever eaten...then complaining about the bread before your meal.  The other major conferences ruin your steak and then complain about our bread.  Thank God, i&#039;m an SEC fan.</description>

		<description>there really is no argument that needs to be said other than florida&#039;s strength of schedule in 06 was the top rated schedule and last years was rated #3.

and i like how you tried to make an argument for tcu with their weak ass teams being &quot;bowl eligible&quot; but you tried talking down texas&#039; win against a 7-4 ucf team.

		<description>I can&#039;t believe I am responding to this incredibly biased waste of time and air. You must have just started watching football two years ago or something; you know nothing about scheduling. Like a previous responder said, do you want cheese with that wine?

Florida&#039;s AD Foley who does the scheduling smartly realizes that the school DOESN&#039;T NEED to schedule anyone out of conference; it doesn&#039;t help the gators&#039; SOS EITHER WAY! Doesn&#039;t matter, if they schedule Texas, TCU, Boise, Utah, or even USC for that matter. There is nothing to prove, and I will repeat: it DOES NOT help our SOS. Why would your team need to that, when your SOS typical is in the top 5 annually?

Now I have a question for you:

Who did TCU play? WHO again?

Who does Boise play? And why do they deserve more credit?

Who does Texas play, for that matter? They played Baylor last week. Baylor! No one talks about how they have FLOATED through their easy SOS.

Who does USC play, or Ohio State? And have they ever been forced to play a conference title? NO..


You&#039;re a whiny hater dude, get over it..</description>
