I am tired of the MAC being ranked ahead of us. They play a bunch of crappy teams from the Big Ten and get more recognition than us. Of all the Non BCS conferences we play the toughest OOC schedules. You would think some of these nitwit reporters would realize that. Didnt we go 3-0 against the MAC as well last season?

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to either the SBC or the MAC. It seems to me that both conferences line up and in your words "play the toughest OOC schedule".....and I see these games as OOC moneybag
games.

Please review the schedules and honestly say which of these toughest
OOC games any SBC teams enters with the expectation of winning ?

IMO there is a difference between scheduling money-bag games and tough OOC games that you expect to win. I think this is where the MAC beats out the SBC. The MAC does schedule some Big 10 teams with
a hope of picking up the money and a win. The SBC usually schedules to get the money only. Thats just my opinion, as an outsider it appears to me that the MAC beats the SBC at the scheduling game.

Huh? You can schedule weak teams, so you do? We go into every game expecting a win. Just ask Maryland, Texas A & M and LSU. We schedule the teams that are willing to play us. Unfortunately for us, the lower tier SEC and ACC teams rarely schedule us, compared to the better teams.
