Do you know ANY OTHER TEAM that uses two of it's patsy non-conference slots to play teams that consistently rank in the top ten?

Michigan, Colorado, and USC have a long history of such, just to name 3.

Do you know ANY OTHER TEAM that uses two of it's patsy non-conference slots to play teams that consistently rank in the top ten?

Michigan, Colorado, and USC have a long history of such, just to name 3

For 2003

Michigan - Four non-conference games - Central Michigan, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon

Colorado - Four non-conference games - Colorado State, UCLA, Washington State, Florida State (color me IMPRESSED!)

USC - Four non-conference games - Auburn, BYU, Hawaii, Notre Dame

FSU - Four non-conference games - Colorado, Miami, Florida, Notre Dame (ah-hem)

I think that, all things considered, you can't accuse FSU of padding their schedule to help them get into the BCS. If anything, it looks like they are playing the hardest out-of-conference teams they could.

Face it, when FSU gets to the BCS, they have EARNED it!

Go 'Noles!
