Well that will not be the case going forward. We have already started with playing the P5 team the SEC forced us to play. The extra automatic win OOC is gone now.

Another interesting little tidbit, Mullen strength of schedule average=24, Jackie(first 8 years) strength of schedule average=51. Jackie strength of schedule for his whole tenure=44.

Also BYU isn't a Power 5 school because they are an independent but they did have a Power Index ranking of #31 which is 10 spots ahead of Georgia's #41 for reference.

Arkansas played at a neutral site vs TCU who has an FPI of #34
MSU played @ BYU who has an FPI of #31
Both games went into 2 OT

A) BYU isnt P5- but at least we stepped up our game a little. We still lost though, fortunately it wasnt the beating we took in 2013. We have had by far the easiest OOC schedule in the West for a longtime now.
UPig played TCU and won
Auburn played Clemson and had the ball with a chance to win at the end of the game
Bama played USC
LSU played Wisconsin
OM played Fla State
A&M played UCLA
In 2017- we play BYU again who is supposed to be improved as well. But they are still not P5. Let's dont act like we havent been enjoying those 4 free wins OOC every year except 2009 and 2013

Auburn-Clemson was very much like us vs lsu. It was 19-6 Clemson until 3:22 to go. Clemson out gained auburn 399-262 and auburn only avg'd 2.1 per carry.

It's not that we hate where we are at it's just that most folks recognize we are on the cusp of something great and we don't understand why more recruiting effort isn't being given when a blind man can see it would push our program into a higher tier.
I swear...with some of you it's all or nothing. Say one thing negative about Mullen and we suddenly want him fired....Jesus...
This man gets it. Someday I'd like to buy you a beer if ever down in Nola.
Every one of us wants the best for the university and all athletic programs. We are on a plateau right now with our football program. Overall we have as much or more talent than we've ever had. We have the best facilities we've ever had he far. We recruit well at most positions but there are a couple that, if recruited just slightly better, would yield top3 SECWest finishes more years than not and most likely 1-2 playoff births and a really good chance at a national championship. If we had just had a marginally better OLIne in 14&15 we would have won the west in 14 and could have repeated in 15.thisnis what we are talking about. Just marginally better OLIne recruiting and that 7 win average would be more around 9 win average.

This team couldn't hold the jockstrap to the Nick Marshall 2014 team.

So now Mullen has to schedule teams, beat them, Market, and follow what every SEC team is doing? Your losing it. You need to follow Bama with your delusion

No
Mullen needs to recruit better on the OL and DL. That would solve alot of ills. Other West teams play major programs OOC every year and our best OOC is usually La Tech- so when people want to compare wins-losses the last whatever number years lets just be honest.

Mullen has 4 swing games in 2017 to show everyone the program isnt slipping. Count me in with Bart Scott- "Cant wait"

You've already been given the numbers on the SEC West games alone.

If Fitz continues improving his passing game and reading defenses we're potentially a 9 win team.
