McGee has heart to heart with E Johnson... plus more info

We're in the ACC. How many more gimmes could you want when we get back to form. Fact is with the new playoff system your schedule has to show that you can beat top teams. A schedule of 3 top 15 teams in my opinion is perfect. We start playing ****** teams and we add to our irrelevancy.

Doesn't hurt FSU that much. Who did they play in their 1st 3 games? Who did they lose to? NCST? Still top 10.

FSU plays UF though every year. They just played Oklahoma too.

Some of you guys really need to learn how to separate what Golden says from reality. Of course the guy is going to try and stomp out the inferiority complex that has been hanging over the program for years now. Of course he'll say we should compete for every recruit regardless of what other schools are pursuing that player (because we can compete). The reality of scheduling is not what it once was.

The whole, "anyone, anytime, etc" thing is cute message board fodder. The reality of the situation is that maybe you should schedule one decent OOC game, but the other two or three should be cupcakes. You win your conference, you're in the BCS. If you are especially impressive while doing so, you might make it to the MNC. Unless you are in the SEC, you ain't doing much with one loss.

I'll second this statement.

Also, I'm all for playing anyone, any place, any time. HOwEVER, this is alo a different time, a different college football then we played in the 80s, 90s. The game has changed completely. Way more parity especially with the recruiting that has picked up (social media, camps, etc).

Lastly, it's the smart way to go. Look at the SEC. For the most part, there isn't a single school in the SEC except for lsu that plays a major non conference game during the season.

When these games were scheduled Notre Dame was a top 15 type team with the ability to he pretty good. KSU and USF are teams that are unranked or scraping the bottom of the top 25. Bethune is Bethune.

That's too tough?

I'm with you guys for not wanting to play USC, Alabama every year but there's nothing wrong with what we scheduled this year, it just happened to bite us in the ***......majorly.

Good grief this is exactly what we did this year. Why is that being ignored?

What? You mean playing two legit top 5 teams on the road?

Unless they are forced to by state government: fsu/uf, clem/usc

There's no question it was very unlucky and the intention was probably good. However, it needs to be FAU, FIU, UCF, etc...

Yeah I think we are more on the same page than it seems. I'm just talking about when these games are scheduled, sometimes quite a few years in advance.

We got bamboozled this year, and it just so happens that all of our upperclassmen bailed just in time as well.

Agree...you throw Miller, Vernon, Forston, Streeter, and Ojomo on this team and they would be pretty legit this year. We're at worst (7-3, 6-1 ACC) with those guys and likely would have played KSU and ND much closer. FSU would be a toss up.

OOC should be 1 legit BCS and 3 Sunbelt type teams. No FCS for any reason. And, try your best to load it up at home.

Seriously? They have no chance to get to the BCS Championship game as a 1 loss team because of the schedule this year. Two computers do not even rank them in the Top 25!!!
