From the tweets I'm seeing, the consensus is that Jimbo is fine with scheduling one other "good" BCS team aside from UF, but that when we go to 9 conference games, he'd likely drop the 2nd decent team and stick with the 2 cupcakes. What makes this coming year different for us (regardless of whether we play 8 or 9 conference games) is that we have UF, WVU, and USF all on the schedule. That's a bit heavy.
From a practical perspective, since Syracuse is joining our division, all this does to our schedule is replace 1 OOC game with Syracuse every year. We still play Miami every year, and we still play 2 games against rotating teams in the other division. And, as we do in most years, we'll still play 2 cupcakes.
