Our schedule is weak because we are so strong...


Apr 18, 2019, 3:00 PM

When does the fact that we are a dominant team factor in? We can’t help that every team is worse than we are right now.

That's right..... ESPN needs to figure out that if 'Bama can improve, their schedule will become weaker.

Thank you sir! Not to mention I agree with your point as well.

Our strength of schedule also does not reflect


Apr 18, 2019, 5:02 PM

the 3 games we intend to play in December and January. Additionally, it is based on "perceived" strength of opponents. Look at Syracuse last year. How did they perform vs expectations? How has our preseason strength of schedule compared to our postseason strength of schedule in recent years?

I admit that Wofford and Charlotte are weak sisters, but we are contractually obligated to play the 8 ACC opponents, and are electively playing two SEC opponents. Coots love to call us out on strength of schedule, but fail to realize that they are a part of it. Is it better to go 12-0 against a "weak" schedule, or 5-7 against an "SEC" schedule? We are about to find out, again, this year, coots.

All of this weak schedule squawking reminds me of "overrated" cheers...you must be overrated because someone who sucks as bad as us played you tough.

South Caro-Whina fans are bemoaning the fact they have the toughest schedule the FBS for 2019..........according to ESPN Football Power Index.

Note that their FPI is NOT any sort of team ranking. It’s more a way to gauge how you’re likely to fare against your schedule. It’s relevant to how good your own team is.

That’s why Clemson has the easiest schedule according to that index. We’redamned good and expected to roll everyone.

That’s why South Carolina is viewed with this murderer’s row of a schedule. They’re expected to suck and they have to play 3 legitimate big boys then a couple more who clearly have more talented rosters.

But you give them our schedule and it suddenly isn’t the easiest in the land anymore. They simply wouldn’t be expected to run roughshod over those teams they way we’re supposed to.

Contrarily, you give us their schedule and it isn’t near as daunting.

Just some clarity for coots driving by.

Yep ..... When you are the best team in the country you do not play anybody as good as you are ...... therefore a "weak" schedule,

I'm pretty sure we ended with an sos of #1 last year

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't get the problem with this

The ACC is really down - you cannot deny that. The result is that our schedule is weaker than when FSU is contending for a championship. VT, Miami, etc - they aren't getting it done right now.

Why do so many try to deny the obvious? It doesn't make us any weaker. Some will try to detract from us over this - so what else is new? In college football it works like this - you root FOR your team and you root AGAINST everyone else. That about sums it up. Surprised that not everyone thinks we are the greatest team ever? Come on - this is pretty much the same for every team.

We won the NC two of the last three years - no one can deny that we are the champs. Just enjoy it and ignore the rest and please, quit whining about this crap.
