Florida State wasn't that good this year, but that was the one game they had Francois. They had other issues going on, but with Francois they were probably on the level of USF.

You also have to take into account the physical toll that playing Arkansas and Florida State takes vs playing Cincinnati and ECU week in and week out.... the athletes they have just aren't comparable).

Swap schedules, and Alabama isn't even challenged in by a single team on UCF's schedule. And I doubt Auburn beats Bama on a neutral field.
