That is a very telling graph there. It explains to me why our strength of schedule is considered so strong, and helps when it comes to deciding who goes where in certain bowl games. Seeing this graph, it shows that we play more teams than others with winning records. Some that say we play soft out of conference games, obviously don't look at the quality of teams that we do play. Of course much of this is the strength of the SEC itself, of which 2 other teams are in that list as well. I do notice though USC has noone else in their conference on the list, nor does Ohio St. I find it kind of telling that 6 of those teams play each other on a regular basis. UT and OU, LSU and Auburn, VT and Miami. So I guess it could be said that winning teams play winning teams.
Only 4 teams deserve consideration right now, IMO. OU, LSU, tOSU and USC. Since we ain't done with the decade yet, I'll reserve judgement 'til January 2010. I suppose if someone realistic like the Gators or 'Horns were to win 2 more :crystal: between now and then, they'd be hard to overlook. Fight On!
