Maybe RU should schedule a better OOC opponent instead of Kent State, Howard, Army, and Tulane.

I really have no idea about WVU. I just know FSU's schedule. I wasn't vouching for WVU's tough schedule or anything. Pick your fight with them.
All I know is that Jimbo is at odds with the former administration about the need to schedule tough OOC schools. We already have UF built in, so take 3 cupcakes and don't hurt yourself unnecessarily. The USF contract is a joke - there is no positive to it for FSU, all it can do is strengthen USF as a legit Florida football program (as it did when they beat FSU in Tally under Bowden 3 years ago). I think to the extent possible, FSU is trying to extract itself from these types of contracts in the future. As a football fan, I don't like it, but as a fan of the team, I understand it.
