What a weenie out of conference schedule.

Florida plays Charleston Southern and Troy

Georgia plays Tennessee Tech

LSU plays Tulane and Louisiana Tech

Kentucky plays Miami of Ohio

Tennessee is playing Western Kentucky and Ohio University.

They all play a "weenie" out of conference schedules. Say what you want about SEC vs. Big Ten, I can't argue with that. But Ohio State at least scheduled USC this year. I know they were killed last year, but they did schedule the team. They have played Texas in scheduled non-conference play. They played Washington which was ranked high when they scheduled it. You can't blame their poor performance the year they played them on Ohio State. It's just the way it happened.

Ohio State plays Miami of Florida 2010 & 2011, and Cal in 2012. Ohio State does play some non-pushover teams on it's schedule.

Before Georgia gets to TN Tech, they play in order:

Oklahoma St, South Carolina, Arkansas, Arizona St, LSU, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Florida. Not much of a fluff schedule there..........

How about Michigan playing Appalachian State a couple of years ago? Oh, that didn't turn out so great. How about about Ohio State playing Toledo a few years back?
Anyone can cherry pick!
Let's look at some of the Little Eleven out of conference games. Oh wait I don't have time.

Alabama does open with VA Tech.
