8-6 current conf record. Our record so far on the road against teams higher in the standings than Pepp is 1-2, with another loss @USF who is lower. In other words, we are 1-3 so far on the road against the top 5 conf opponents. I think we'll have a tough time down there, would actually be surprised if we can win given we are missing Nixon.
It's interesting the effect this new scheduling arrangement has with imbalanced matchups - in some cases, it's sort of a Robin Hood effect of making the schedule harder for the top teams and easier for the worse teams. I wonder if that part of it is something of an unintended consequence the league just decided to live with, or if the administrators and coaches actually like it.
