LOL--you couldn't resist, could you....looks like ND continues to schedule tough opponents, especially in '12--that list looks brutal!!!

No, not a shot. Just saying its a pretty brutal schedule with the worst team on it being a BCS conference team. I doubt there will be a schedule like that anywhere else in college football.

Might not be for 2012. But in 2011 LSU trumps ND's schedule.

I notice you failed to skip over Oregon and WVU for OOC along with a SEC schedule. Let me guess with the 2 you listed, ,.....Oregon, WVU, Bama, Aub, Florida, Ark, Miss. St, Tenn, and Ole Miss is an easy schedule? Line up these teams with ND's schedule and tell me who has a tougher schedule. Its not even close.

Arkansas, WVU and Miss St are mediocre?
As I said compare the teams and schedule for 2011. Ill wait patiently.

You have USC (who might fall off the radar), Stanford, MSU, and maybe Mich (a huge maybe)........the rest is mediocre.

Wow, thats a brutal schedule for LSU in 2011. Didn't realize they had Oregon on the schedule. Too difficult to compare at this time, but one can't seriously argue the 2011 ND schedule is comparable.

To add in the argument, LSU's schedule for next year has currently ranked teams

1. Oregon
5. Auburn
7. Bama
20. WVU
21. Arkansas
24. Miss. St
That's without Florida who currently isnt ranked.

ND has

8. Mich st
12. Stanford


NOT EVEN CLOSE!!

hmmm lets try this again. Congrats on LSU's 2011 schedule. Ok = cool = good for you. And yes Arkansas WVU and Miss St are meaty oaker. Did I say ND's 2011 schedule was tougher than LSU's?

My god, I understand why you get so much shit from OSU fans now.

Interesting you throw in Florida (who currently isn't ranked) but omit USC (who currently isn't ranked) from ND's list. USC will still have more talent than every team you listed for LSU outside of Bama and Oregon(maybe).

lotz has a little more tact than that, and don't think the word "cupcakes" is only directed towards OSU-- we call you that all the time :D

I agree. They should play more MAC/I-AA/teams full of cripples and then get exposed by the first team with a pulse they play. That wouldn't be shitty at all.

I did that, because its a certain that UF will probably be ranked next year like they usually are, while USC we dont know about after all the NCAA sanctions. USC isnt ranked now with Carroll's recruits, and now after all the problems I dont know how long it will be until they are dominant again. Do you think Kiffen will bring them back next year to be a PAC 10 contender?

Thanks, I think? I wasn't trying to take a shot at OSU or LSU or anyone when I (sarcastically) said cupcakes. I was merely saying that 2012 looks to be a pretty brutal schedule with no gimme teams on it. Any week they don't show up to play, they will get beat.

Hey, society is back. Never posting anything valuable as always. Why dont you go start another topic like LSU vs. McNeese. That worked well for ya.

That's how I took your post, not real sure why others took it any differently.

While ND's schedule in '11 might not be as tough as LSU's, it is still without any real easy games.
