What are you talking about?The largest reason we made the playoffs last year was out schedule and, to some degree, when we caught a couple of the teams. Had we had Oklahoma at the end instead of the beginning, the W/L ratio may have been different.
Other than Alabama (Milroe was completely horrible that night), when did OU look good late last year? LSU beat them pretty good, SC embarrassed them at home.The largest reason we made the playoffs last year was out schedule and, to some degree, when we caught a couple of the teams.

He played FLSt every season. 14 times, twice in 1995. FLSt was in the Top 10 every time they played while Spurrier was HC, except 2001. Seminoles were Top 3 6x. Ranked #1 in two of the games.Spurrier made a career off of playing ridiculously weak non-conference schedules. While we would be playing teams like Notre Dame, UCLA, and Miami, he'd be playing Rice and Tulane and running up the score sky high on them.
Let me just remind that one of the most truthful posts of the year was made by an OU fan after that game.What are you talking about?
We beat them on their home field. A mucked up field mind you. Stop talking nonsense all the time.
Spurrier played Florida State every year when they were a perennial top 5 team and Clemson every year at South Carolina. Saying he played ridiculously weak nonconference schedules just because their toughest nonconference game was at the end of the year is a foolish thing to say.Spurrier made a career off of playing ridiculously weak non-conference schedules.

Tend to agree. The last ābig-timeā OOC opponent was Oklahoma in ā14 & ā15. Since then it was:OP, you say "non conference schedule is weak" as if it varies wildly from year to year. It really doesn't.
It's always three powder puffs (usually 2 G5, 1 FCS) plus one FBS peer that might or might not be a challenge. Some years, that;'s an Oregon. Sometimes, it's a Virginia.
Either way, it's just a single game. The bulk of the OOC schedule is about amassing wins. Every year.
Go Vols!
