Hypothetical

Imagine if you will...you are Auburn. Here is your 2010 schedule:

Va Tech
@Wyoming
vs Oregon State
@New Mexico State
vs Toledo
@San Jose State
vs Louisiana Tech
vs Hawaii
@Idaho
vs Fresno State
@Nevada
vs Utah State

Now imagine that you are Boise State:

vs Arkansas State
@Miss State
vs Clemson
vs South Carolina
vs Louisiana-Monroe
@Kentucky
vs Arkansas
vs LSU
@Ole Miss
vs Chattanooga
vs Georgia
@Alabama
TITLE GAME: vs South Carolina

In a vacuum...which schedule do you choose?

Yeah...that's what I thought. Better yet...would Boise State or TCU like this run...?
vs UNC
@Florida
vsWVU
@Auburn
vsAlabama
@Arkansas

That's only HALF of LSU's schedule.

Piss off if you don't believe that there is a difference in the strength of schedule between teams like Boise State and big conference teams.

The question is not whether or not Boise is a good team. The question is...how good would you be week in and week out with the big boys? Of COURSE you can go toe to toe for one freakin game. We are tired...you are not. You've been playing weak teams. Bottom line.

Seriously...look above again...tell me Boise State's record after playing Auburn's schedule.

By the way...the answer is 7-5.

BONUS ROUND:

You are TCU....here's your schedule...you get a SIX game schedule for all the marbles...ready? go:
@Arizona
vsPenn State
@Michigan
vsWisconsin
vsMichigan State
vsOhio State

Well...!? How did TCU fare thru this schedule? I'm sure they were undefeated, right? Huh? No freakin way. That's the answer.

For what it's worth...the above schedule is a 6 game sample from Iowa's actual schedule this year.

Let me say it again...you do not compete like the big boys do. Sorry.
