Florida State and USF Agree to Home-And-Home Series

[superjames1992]

Kudos to the 'Noles. They originally turned this down, I believe, but now they have agreed to play the Bulls at home on September 26th, 2009 and return the game at Raymond James in 2012.

USF now plays Miami and Florida State next year and Florida and Miami in 2010. I guess they're getting those games against the bigger Florida teams like they wanted.

I guess FSU is hoping they will have reloaded by '12...

I don't think so. I think 2015 is the year. I mean, they were going to do it in 2013, but that joke of a coach Fisher blew it for Bowden. Now that they've got Noel Mazzone, they'll be unstoppable next year (and if they aren't, it'll be the next year)

FSU continues to flex their scheduling might. The list of future non-conf opponents is staggering.

Next year...

Maine (still officially on the slate)
South Florida
AT BYU
AT Florida

2010 9-11 @ Oklahoma 9-18 Brigham Young TBA Samford TBA Florida	2011 9-3 @ Air Force 9-17 Oklahoma TBA @ Florida
2012 9-8 @ West Virginia 9-15 Air Force 9-29 @ South Florida TBA Florida	2013 9-14 West Virginia 9-21 Nevada TBA @ Florida

Yikes. That has to be the best OOC schedule in the NCAA. This year they played two FCS teams, but now they're going to have a tough road for the forseeable future.

The most impressive thing about the list is the 2nd tier:

Air Force
BYU
Nevada

When you're rotating USF, VWU, Oklahoma, Florida on the schedule it takes some guts to go that high in the quality of your 2nd tier.
