That's true. But I wish Florida did play out of state more, as it would help with recruiting out of state. Or schedule home-and-home games with teams like USC or Ohio State, or even Texas. How cool would it be to see those teams play in the Swamp, instead of the same old SEC teams plus the usual creampuffs.

With UF already playing Tennesee, Georiga, LSU and FSU every year. There are also talks of renewing the Miami game. Forty percent of the time the schedule also includes Alabama or Auburn.

With that schedule adding a big name out of conference game would be suicide. Teams in weaker conferences can do it because many of them only have 1 or 2 tough conference games a year anyway.

Also, UF has no need to recruit in other areas. The talent in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana is enough to power any top ranked team.

Everyone already knows about UF and they already get players for other parts of the country anyway. For example, Deshon Wynn was a top ranked rb out of Ohio.
