Even I agree with that - they'd really have to ball things up to only win 8 games with that schedule. I predict a BCS bowl game (thanks to overranking due to the soft schedule), but a humiliating loss to whatever SEC or Big XII team they play. It'll be enough for Weis to keep his job, but not with a solid foundation for the years to come.

I think it will be a very good season. Although, they have a soft schedule, but I would like to point out who is Florida playing in the home opener!! Some DII team, which doesn't count against the BCS rankings, but it counts as a win or lose.

Indeed - UF opens with...Charleston Southern?!?!?! This is from the csuniv.edu web site:


"Founded in 1964, Charleston Southern is located near historic Charleston and the beautiful beaches of the South Carolina coastline.

Charleston Southern is one of South Carolina’s largest accredited, independent universities, enrolling approximately 3,200 students."



shock

Oh yeah, they'll match up with the Gators. Isn't this kind of like Jimtown playing Penn?

Man, if only Ohio State lost... That would have been epic. Like Michigan loosing to Appalachian State.

ND was not ranked 6th in the nation when they lost to Navy.

Greatest Upsets in Sports History (from Sports Illustrated)

Rankings seem to be in reverse chronological order, not by significance.
