Perspective on FSU's "weak schedule" argument

[MSUFORLIFE]

Since 2002 (including so far this year)

FSU:
Played 46 ranked teams
24-22 vs ranked teams
23 games vs. top 10
10-13 vs top 10

Bama:
Played 64 ranked teams
35-29 vs ranked teams
31 games vs top 10
15-15 vs top 10

Looks pretty close to me. FSU has a winning % of 52.1 against ranked teams while Bama has a winning % of 54.6.

Try and ...

Compare THIS years FSU schedule to Bama or MSU's Schedule ...


FSU has #5 Notre Dame and #22 Clemson (win in OT)

MSU has #8 LSU, #6 aTm, #2 Auburn, #6 Bama, #4 OM (some will change) + possible SECE ranked team In SEC Championship

Exactly what perspective does that provide? No one is arguing about FSU's schedule 12 years ago or even that their current schedule isn't decent. it just pales in comparison to other power conferences in 2014.

Let's face it... the other reason they're getting ripped is because they've been taken to the wire against the only two semi-strong teams that they've played, and they've also had to work much harder than they should have to overcome deficits against marginal Louisville and NC State teams. They're good, but their performance this year has left a lot to be desired

And to include the Mike Shula years for Alabama is a disservice.
