Just curious - have we EVER played a "tough" non-conference schedule?
Who does? What is the "ideal" that we're hoping for here?
1981 looked pretty good:
S 12 at Iowa (7/) L, 7-10 60,160
S 19 Florida State (17/19) W, 34-14 76,289
S 26 Penn State (15/3) L, 24-30 76,308
O 3 Auburn (/) W, 17-3 76,423
1986 looked pretty good:
S 6 Florida St.^* (8/11) W, 34-17 75,865
S 20 at Illinois^ (6/) W, 59-14 75,865
S 27 Oregon (4/) W, 48-14 76,185
O 4 at South Carolina (3/) W, 27-24 73,109
I'm just basing this on traditional powers and conferences
