I think I misunderstood that you were criticizing me for advocating a different schedule philosophy than FSU takes.  Sorry, you might have been defending them from the "too many Woffords" accusation.
 
In reality, they schedule the right amount of Woffords, except that WVU pulling out of the series left us high and dry and we had to take what we could get.  We ended up with a schedule too weak the last two seasons, and two strong next season.
 
Of course, if we all followed good scheduling guidelines, we'd have strength of schedule IN the conference like what happens with the Big 12 and other conferences.  There's a good chance NC State will be ranked when they play us, because they didn't schedule any likely losses OOC.  If Virginia didn't have Oregon this weekend, they might have been ranked by the time they play Miami.
 
I strongly believe there is a correlation between the ACC usually faring more poorly than other conferences out of conference, and the fact that they are the only ones that consistently schedule many, many games every season that they go into as big underdogs.  No other conference does that.
