This finding isn't just limited to this year, either. Until they start playing a bit more outside of their backyard, I'm not going to give them a whole lot of credit.

I agree the scheduling is strange this year, but UF goes back to a home/home vs Miami in 2008 to go with of course FSU.
Tell me that's not playing outside your backyard. FSU OOC every year is tough enough as it is.

Wow, 1 whole team out of the 4-5 top SEC teams.

Of the top SEC teams mentioned, tell me list how many tough OOC away games they've played in since 2000. Florida was about the only one really, when they played Miami. I think they've played them once, away, in that time. Someone else played a tough away game. Who else? Mind you, were talking about 4-5 teams spanning 6 years.

Also show how often those teams played more than 4 away games the whole year in that span. Playing about 66% of your games at home, regularly, isn't playing out of your own backyard. Especially when the greater majority of OOC games are also at home. It's actually pretty advantageous.

Edit: I meant to include Fl St. playing Florida through that time. But the other top SEC teams have pretty lame schedules when referring to OOC, especially regarding away games.

Yup, agreed.
