Strength of Schedule

While this is fresh on my mind I want to point out that, according to CBS Sportsline, West Virginia played a tougher schedule than Louisville, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Wisconsin AND Ohio State. CBS says WVU's schedule was the 25th most difficult in the nation...so, everyone who said WVU's schedule was too weak to earn a spot in the national championship game didn't know what they were talking about because WVU's was tougher than Ohio States (who was 37th).

Obviously, it doesn't matter now but the constant complaint that the Big East's schedule is weak is false. Rutgers was 33rd and Louisville was 35th, still both better than THE OSU. West Virginia played 6 bowl teams this season (East Carolina, Maryland, Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida and Rutgers).

Anyway, I don't want to hear about SOS considering Ohio State did not play, or even come close to playing, the toughest schedule in the country. If SOS means so much, maybe Florida should be playing Michigan (#1 and #2 in SOS) and Ohio State should be playing Boise State (#85, BTW).

Oh, and I'm seriously leaning towards going to the Gator Bowl now...for some reason, over the course of 8 hours, my excitement for the game rose immensely...I think Jacksonville sounds like fun.
