Sooner Schedule Upgrade
My Sooners have finally managed to cut a deal with Oregon that puts them on the football schedule this fall, and gets rid of Division I-AA Florida A&M.
That completes a significant upgrade pulled off at the last minute, in which Joe Castiglione also replaced Arkansas State with UH, and should ensure that as long as they win, Oklahoma will enjoy the same strength of schedule boost in the BCS as they have in recent years. It may even be better, since 9 of 11 opponents played in bowl games last year.
If you want to contend for championships, I believe you have to schedule aggressively. Are you listening, Bill Snyder?

*snicker* (at Bill Snyder).
Good show. Miami's schedule is relatively light this year, but after 2 years of scheduling FSU, UF, and Tenn., I'm not worried about it.
Miami and OU are two teams who will almost always play anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Kevin, need I point out that you're not the only who's pleased at the news?
(Oddly enough, it wasn't in the sports section of The Oregonian this morning. Hmph.
