According to ESPN's SP+ rankings, we're tied with Oklahoma for the toughest schedule. SEC with 12 of the top 13 toughest. A top 5 team would be projected to get 7.71 wins vs our schedule.
Our 8 wins should look pretty good and with a couple of bounces our way, 9 or 10. We can't slide to 6 or 7.
I wonder why Bobby Bowden didn't want to join the SEC? Instead he picked the ACC, the Almost Competitive Conference. I hate the Noles!
Winning 8-9 games would be a job well done. Of course we all want more but we don't schedule 10 win seasons. We actually have to beat several ranked teams to get to 8 wins, others only have 2-3 even on their schedule . Indiana played a joke of a schedule within the second best conference and was ranked well beyond where they should have been ranked realistically. " well they can only play the games that are on their schedule ." What a load of crap.
