What am I looking at? My guess is "# of preseason ranked teams on their schedule"??
I guess this is coaches' poll?  According to AP, Texas will play 5 rather than 4.  OU is in the AP top 25 but not the coaches'.

We play a full 1/3 of the top 21 teams in the country.

Seems legit.

See, if you played a nine game conference schedule, and put Miami back on the annual OOC docket in addition to Florida State, Then you would only have room for one cupcake on the schedule every year.

I'll take "How to never be relevant again" for $200, Alex.

And don't forget, while the Big Ten was playing and 8-game conference schedule all through the 90s, Florida routinely ended it's season with FSU at the height of their powers, the SECCG, and then an elite bowl.
Spurrier, as great as he was, never went 3-0 in that gauntlet.

If you're already playing the toughest schedule in the country, what's the motive to make it harder?

The last time UGA started #5, they won the NC.  

I remain entertained by "our" general love of polls and rankings.  I'm fine with it all, it's something about which to chat.  The Interwebz are replete with it all.  "Experts" are experting.

The Expert's Silliness and Partial News network has material for shows.
