SEC games (other than Sakerlina) every year. Would only help, revenue, exposure and SOS rankings.
What say you??
Go Tigers!!!

I say 2 SEC teams per year including USuCk

Top tier 2nd SEC opponent and one other top 20 team from a different league to balance out the landscape a bit.
We all know that the remaining game is a tune up/charity game with a local sub division team.

Actually, that would hurt revenue. It would be good for

exposure, but the only way 2 more SEC games happens is to play home-and-homes with an occasional kickoff game in Atlanta thrown in (they don't want Clemson every year).
That would essentially amount to 1 lost home game per season and while you could charge a little bit more for the tickets, it wouldn't make up for an entire lost game.

THAT will never happen as the SEC teams are crawling into their shells (see UGA recently) in fear of having too-tough opponents for OOC games. SEC teams do NOT want a part of a team like CLEMSON. Boise State had to spit in their face and call them all out just to get the chance to kick UGA's mutt butt. They have now learned their lesson and pick their OOC games with more thought.

FSU was independent and played 2 or 3 big names every year

when he said that. USuC's been following that plan for 20 years by way of playing in the SEC and they have never even won a conference championship.

Too bad they don't play OOC outside of Florida. Something like 25 years without leaving the state for an OOC game

Florida has played a grand total of one OOC games outside the state of Florida (excluding bowls many of which were also in Florida) since 1987. And that one game was in 1991. This means 0 OOC games out of the state of Florida in over 20 years.

Load the schedule up so Clemson NEVER makes the playoffs. I

really don't think people have their heads wrapped around the fact that only FOUR schools out of the whole country will make the playoffs when they wish for all these big time OOC opponents on the schedule. It will be difficult enough to have a shot at the playoffs and a NC. Does anyone really think a team with 2 or 3 losses will get into a FOUR team playoff because they played a difficult schedule.

Exactly the point. The more we play, the more we eliminate.***

Yeah. LOL We haven't been able to knock USuC out in 4 years

now. I could see how strength of schedule would be important in a 16 or 32 team playoff but a 4 team playoff will not be much different than the BCS. Undefeated and in one of the major 5 conferences you got a shot.
