PART ONE

We should rotate Florida State and Miami on a four-year basis. This serves two purposes: (1) it gets Miami back on the schedule, which is important, without making our schedule inordinately difficult and (2) firmly establishes UF as the flagship and fsu and scUM as the weak sisters that they are. I know the Canes would agree to this arrangement. I don’t whether fsu would, although I suspect that they might if faced with an ultimatum.

PART TWO

Further, we should schedule good non-conference opponents two out of every four years. My wish list would include the following, all of which would be great road trips:

- Georgia Tech, Clemson, N. Carolina, NC State, Maryland, and Virginia from the ACC
- Michigan, Penn State, and Wisconsin from the Big Ten (Columbus is omitted because it is a dump and their fans are awful as we learned in Arizona)
- Notre Dame
- Cal and Southern Cal from the Pac-Ten
- Texas and Colorado from the Big XII

IN ACTION

Under my proposal, we could play seven home games three out of every four years and still keep the Georgia game in Jacksonville. E.g. -

2007
3 SEC home
4 SEC road
fsu at home
3 patsies
7 home games

2008
4 SEC home
3 SEC road
fsu away
2 patsies
Non-conf home
7 home games

2009
3 SEC home
4 SEC road
UM home
Non-conf away
2 patsies
6 home games

2010
4 SEC home
3 SEC road
UM away
3 patsies
7 home games

It should occur as a bowl game when appropriate!!! Exactly correct there is no good reason for the Gators to play UM on a regular basis. It should occur as a bowl game when appropriate!!!
