Message: [QUOTE="UnknownOrange, post: 2870553, member: 4689"] Agreed - once you actually have the team to compete. Going 4-8 against a top 10 schedule, or going 10-3 against a top 40 schedule. Which do you really prefer? Back when we first played LSU we just simply couldn't compete. The idea is to schedule lighter for a few years, that way when you win 8-11 games you start getting better recruits because kids like winning. Then once you feel like you're an established team you can play a game like LSU, USC, Wisconsin, etc. Imagine if we swapped out WMU and UConn this past year with an LSU and another top 25 team. Not saying we automatically lose those games but the difference between (pre-bowl) 7-5 and 9-3 is a big difference. Also with Clemson and FSU locked into our schedule every year I am okay with taking Holy Cross and Liberty too [/QUOTE]
