Yet over the last 30 years we beat them 9.2% of the time. 53 programs have better winning percentages against such competition over the same time period. Combine that with our very average recruiting, there is no need for us to have an above average schedule.

Only 16 teams, played at least 3 legit top 15 teams before the bowl games last year. Only 1 team won 3 (South Carolina). Only 2 teams won 2 (Georgia and Auburn). 14 out of the 16 teams that played at least 3 top 15 teams lost 3 games against them last year.

I'm fine with playing 1 top 15 team a year. Any more than that is likely removing any slim chance of going undefeated.
