Sorry, but if I wanted wins, and not of the quality kind, would take the USF schedule any day (espically down the stretch!)...

So you are saying that playing ND, Wisconsin, Penn state, Miami, Ga Tech is tougher than playing Cincy, Louisville, or Rutgers ? Have you seen any of the above teams play lately? Auburn and WV are better than any teams in the Big 10 or ACC with the exception of Ohio State. Illinois QB is hurt, Purdue cant stop anyone, VT is one dimensional, FSU is average at best, Michigan is spotty...
The case can be made that the schedules are pretty close to even but there is no way that anyone can say that OSU or BC's schedule is tougher than SF's. Maybe in a traditional sense but the fact is that the 'midmajor' type teams like Cincy and Rutgers are a lot better than their history suggests. The smaller teams have caught up and with spread offenses and scholarship reductions and the fact that almost every major conference game is televised means that kids can go to a mid major type and play and get exposure as opposed to the old days where they would rot on a big teams bench.
