Speaking of Bama, could a Bama/VT matchup be in the works?

....And better than most of the out of conference opponents that ACC tams will see.
Doesn't matter if it is ACC. Point being that you cannot argue that your team has a tougher schedule when it has multiple cupcakes on it,a schedule that is at very LEAST worse than the ACC's Miami

Looks like Auburn's schedule is softer than UNC's as well and similar to VT,WF,and most of the other ACC squads.
Auburn has 2-3 cupcakes....the whole ACC is by and large a cupcake...so yeah, you can argue. With OOC scheduling, SEC teams take a break...cuz really the strength of their schedules lie in the other SEC teams...the same ones everyone else if they schedule them provides a step up for. Show me one ACC team that has anything close to LSU,UT,West Virginia,and Georgia...not to mention Bama, and Miss State (both bowl winners last year). The only teams that would have as tough or tougher a schedule that AU would be other SEC teams.
Auburn..top #5.....hahahaha
So because your statement is wrong,you pull out the ACC bashing? LOL. We were talking about scheduling,and you said that AU had a strong one. Not so at all. The SEC>ACC BS doesn't apply when you are discussing the topic of whose OOC schedule is stronger (which is exactly what we were discussing)
If you honestly believe that...go ahead and take a break from work...cuz ur losing it. The ACC teams combined only have 8 TOTAL games with SEC teams. Take away the in state rivalries (Clemson-SC, GT-UGA, FSU-FLA, MIA-FLA, NCST-SC) and they have3. Clemson vs. Bama, Duke-Vandy, and GT-MSU. Maybe ya can't see it yourself...but it's evident that the ACC knows where that a$$ gets blasted..and that the SEC is their daddy. Can't believe VT wouldn't want anymore of LSU...lol
go ahead and laugh...you'll see differently come the fall.
Like arguing with a woman. We were discussing who had the tougher OOC schedule. It isn't hard to retract and say "I am wrong" [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]
As for OVERALL schedule,I can admit that the SEC is the premier football conference in the land,and obviously if you are an SEC school,then yes of course your overall strength of schedule is going to be high,but like I said,we were talking about OOC scheduling (unless USM,ULM and UT-M secretly joined the SEC). If you start a thread about who has the toughest overall schedule,there's nothing I can say except Alabama,Georgia,Auburn. I was born at night,but it wasn't last night. Unlike others I can take off the colored specs and see things objectively (and I can admit when I am wrong)
I am talking overall schedule...I never said I was just looking at an OOC schedule...but hell far, in order for SEC teams to make their OOC schedules as tough as their in conference schedule, they'd have to start playing each other twice...lol
