I am looking at the OOC schedule for the SEC. This is hard to imagine but not one team in that conference has a markedly better schedule than we have. Look at this crap:
Ark: Colorado State, Eastern Illinois, North Texas, Tulsa
Alabama: Louisville, Arkansas State, Louisiana (formerly SW La.), Citadel (ouch)
Auburn: Washington, Alabama State, Southern Miss, Liberty
Florida: Charleston Southern, Colorado State, Idaho, FSU
Georgia: Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, UMass, GT
Kentucky: Central Michigan, Murray State, Middle Tennessee, Louisville
LSU: Miami, SE Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Rice
Mississippi: Texas Tech, Southern Illinois, Kent State, Louisiana-Monroe
Miss. State: S.F. Austin, Kansas State, Louisiana (see above), Louisiana Tech
Missouri: Tenn-Martin, Wyoming, Purdue, Memphis
South Carolina: Marshall, Coastal Carolina, Chattanooga, Clemson
Tennessee: WVU, Charlotte, UTEP, East Tennessee
Texas A&M: Northwestern State (La.), Louisiana-Monroe, UAB, Clemson
Vanderbilt: Tennessee State, Nevada, Middle Tennessee, Notre Dame

Take away the first week big paycheck games and the end of the season rivalry games and there is very little left. Virginia could go 3-1 against most of these schedules.
