I was saying that Utah needs the out of conference games to match UF's in conference slate. It doesn't matter if the games are in the conference or out of the conference, as long as they have numerous quality games. I said Utah needs them OOC because they don't have a tough conference. UF not only had a tougher conference schedule, but their OOC schedule was tougher too since they played Hawaii, Miami, and Florida State. That beats Oregon State, Michigan, and two chumps.
Yeah, UF lost to Ole Miss. Ole Miss is a solid team that improved throughout the season and just stomped Texas Tech. It happens. Teams lose when they play good opponents each and every week. When you only have to come to play 4 or 5 times a year and can cruise the rest of the year, it's not nearly as difficult to get through the season unscathed. Even with the tougher schedule, UF did better on offense, defense, AND special teams in comparison with Utah. Go figure.
OU played Cinci and TCU out of conference. I don't remember their other two games. Cinci played in the Orange Bowl and won the Big East. TCU was runner up in the Mountain West and got stomped by OU (whereas Utah barely won and was actually outplayed).
