13. Ball State 13 -- You should win by more. Try playing tougher teams next year.

West Virginia backed out and there were conflicts with Troy and Middle Tennessee (both bowl teams) because they played each other, so Ball State couldn't play either one. They got hosed at The Big House -- when Michigan was playing for a national title -- in 2006. They nearly won at Nebraska in 2007. And they're going to Auburn in 2009.

All in all, Ball State does a good job trying to schedule someone from a BCS conference each season.

they almost beat a 5-7 nebraska team a year ago? wow. impressive.

Bottom line, Ball State at least tries to schedule good games. How could they know Nebraska would be 5-7? These schedules are sometimes made four, five years down the line. It's not like they're not making an attempt. Like Hawaii a year ago, sometimes teams back out of contracts and there's nothing you can do.

Well, at least they win the games they're supposed to win.

At least I didn't say fixin', though based on my soon-to-be-announced relationship, I'll be a Texan a lot sooner than I'd like.

Boise State has lost, what, one game in 3 years? Not to mention the win over Oklahoma in the bowl game. They won at Oregon this year. Tough-as-constipation place to play. They get the benefit of the doubt. This isn't a one-hit wonder. Florida scheduled Citadel in late November. If you want that 12th game, man-up and schedule a mid-range team and show that you're not just buying a win.

So if Florida had scheduled The Citadel in September and Miami in November, it would have been OK? I'm a Florida fan, and I don't like that Florida played the stepchild at all, but don't get wrapped up in the time of year it happened.

It might not be the toughest league this year, but year in and year out, the SEC is absolute hell to get through unscathed. But Florida played only one cupcake this season and that was the Citadel. Other non-conference games: Hawaii, Miami and Florida State.

That was a week off for the Florida starters in Novemeber. No one else schedules that big of a gumby team that late in the year.

It will also the poster child game when Obama cuts the NCAA schedule one week to make way for a playoff system.

If that game keeps Florida out of the national title game, then so be it.

I'm thinking don't schedule Citadel at all. Schedule Cal or Stanford or Baylor or Colorado or Fresno State. You know, a real game.

No way Tech should be below Mizzou. They beat Texas and Okie State, which are Mizzou's two losses. They also have much better wins than Ohio State.

Florida at No. 2, Oklahoma ahead of Texas and Tech drops ten spots?
