Florida coach Will Muschamp does not want to see any more FCS opponents on the Gators' schedule.
Despite becoming the laughing stock of college football after his team's loss to Georgia Southern - a FCS team- last year, Muschamp still spoke out against the schedule at the SEC Spring Meetings.
He said: "We're probably going to move forward without playing FCS opponents", adding: "And I think our fan base wants to see better opponents".
But Florida AD Jeremy Foley had other ideas. He said: "In a perfect world, you play all D-I schools. But also you have to have 12 opponents".

Mississippi State has signed three-star quarterback Chason Virgil.
Virgil, who hails from Vesquite, TX, is 6ft-2 and 170lb, and is ranked 23rd in the nation in pro-style quarterbacks and 55th in the State of Texas.
"I called Coach (Brian) Johnson and I had already told him two days ago that I wanted to commit but I knew they were so busy earlier in the week. So he already knew why I was calling and he just asked me if I was ready to commit and I said 'yes'," he told 24-7Sports.com
"Then me and Coach (Dan) Mullen plan to talk tomorrow when he gets back in town. At first, they kinda wanted

Les Miles is furious that LSU will remain Florida's permanent cross-division rival for the foreseeable future.
The SEC announced Sunday that they are going to keep the 6-1-1 structure, with a permanent rival ensuring that LSU plays Florida. Auburn and Georgia will keep The South's Oldest Rivalry, and Alabama will play Tennessee. They will also be mandated to play one out-of-conference game against one team from either the ACC, Pac-12, Big XII or Big Ten per year starting 2016.
Miles told The Advocate: "We play the toughest schedule in America in our conference, and then we have the bias of

Mississippi State offensive co-ordinator Les Koenning - fresh from a bowl victory and a win in the Egg Bowl over Ole Miss - is leaving Starkville to be the new wide receivers coach at Texas, according to the Clarion-Ledger.
The Clarion-Ledger noted: "Under Koenning’s guidance MSU’s offense set numerous school records, culminating in 13 this season. He also worked with the quarterbacks developing both Tyler Russell and Dak Prescott. Russell leaves the program with a handful of single season passing records. Many analysts are calling Prescott a sleeper for next year’s Heisman."

It seems that any time that LSU does not win a National Title or is not in the conversation for a National Title, that Les Miles is the worst coach in the world, and should pay the penalty for his loss by not only getting fired, but spending the rest of his life carrying a 300lb millstone around his neck to remind him of the hurt that he impounded on the LSU faithful.
Seriously.
Well, last year, LSU not only wasn't in the National Title conversation after losing to Florida 14-6 in a defensive battle/awful game in The Swamp, but they were waaaaay out of it after losing at home to Alabama in

Some people blame the play on Aaron Murray. Some blame it on Mark Richt. Some people just blame it on God. Because God, that loss in the SEC Championship Game stung Georgia fans so much more than losing to Georgia Tech, because this could have been the time when the Dawgs talked about being a National Championship team (we think they would have beaten Notre Dame as easily as Alabama).
But the Dawgs are back. They are Jarvis Jones-less. They are Rambo-less. They go to Clemson and South Carolina at home on the second game - against another hated foe, Steve Spurrier. That's the nation's hardest

Mississippi State fans find themselves in quite the quandry. They've to....you know.....EXPECT BETTER (we say that loudly, and with a bit of cowbell), thanks to the excellent recruiting job done by Dan Mullen. They didn't expect the second-half collapse against Ole Miss. They didn't expect to lose to Northwestern in the Gator Bowl. They didn't expect to five out of their last six going last season...especially The Egg Bowl.
If we're honest, within the state of Mississippi there's a lot of press, and there's a lot of momentum. Unfortunately, the press and momentum is all going toward their most
