Message: [QUOTE="Orangeyes, post: 337372, member: 34"] [INDENT=1]After reading about SU's tough OOC schedule it got me thinking. Just yesterday I had this argument with a former player from Florida State. He defended the SEC in that they already play against the toughest teams in the country in conference. I argued that the SU basketball team plays in the best conference in the country yet get chastised for their OOC schedule, year in, year out.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]My argument is that sure at the top the SEC it is tough, Alabama, LSU, Arkansas & Florida. Lately Tennessee, Georgia, Miss St & Ole Miss haven't been as good as their hype & are somewhat overrated.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]SU is playing Northwestern, USC, Missouri, Minnesota & Stony Brook. compare that with the OCC games of the SEC where most have only one decent opponent[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Georgia: Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern, Georgia Tech.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Tennessee: North Carolina State , Georgia State, Akron, Troy.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]LSU: North Texas, Washington, Idaho, Towson.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Kentucky: at Louisville, Kent State, Western Kentucky, Samford.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Arkansas: Jacksonville State, Louisiana-Monroe, Rutgers, Tulsa.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Texas A&M: at Louisiana Tech, at SMU, South Carolina State, Sam Houston State.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Mississippi State: Jackson State, at Troy, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Alabama: Michigan, Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, and Western Carolina.[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]Phil Steele's 2012 Strength of Schedule[/INDENT] [INDENT=1] [/INDENT] [INDENT=1]2.
