USC is not exactly what they used to be...sure they have Matt Barkley coming back, but they aren't a top tier program anymore. Northwestern and Minnesota are bottom feeders in the B1G, which doesn't say much about our OOC as of right now. Now move into the in conference schedule...without WVU it sucks, it is a half a step above the MAC and well behind MWC and WAC. Recruits notice this, and even if SU goes 5-1 in conference play no one will care simply because it is a conference of cupcake BCS teams everyone else beats up on. If we schedule FSU now recruits turn their heads and get a glimpse of SU on national tv. An away loss to a team that is years ahead in talent and coaching looks a lot better to me than a home loss to a team like Rutgers or UConn. Not to mention the fact that we recruit in Florida every year, so a game down there will get us more exposure. If we put 14+ points on the board and hold it to a 28 point game, which is what FSU tends to do in the OOC then I would see it as a success. Maybe they even have a bad game and it's close the whole way, now how does that make the program look? I'd rather try and fail than not try at all and be guaranteed failure.
