They haven't played NIU in the regular season in a long while either.

There are four people who know the truth by being there, and that is Kinsman, Winston, Darby and Casher. So Darby and Casher risked their scholarships, freedom and everything to protect a freshman who hadn't played a down of football for FSU. Which criminals do you know who video their rape acts while in progress? Have you ever heard of someone videoing their sex acts for fun?

It's appalling that this hasn't happened yet, the only reason the SEC gets away with it is because of "LOOK HOW GREAT WE ARE". The ACC doesn't have that. Bolster your actual SOS with more conference games. 3 OOC games is enough.

They're both required by state law to play another, smaller school from South Carolina every year. If either of their conferences moved to a 9-game schedule, they would in effect only get a choice of one game per year between the cross-conference rivalry and the mandated in-state FCS matchup.

ACoolT5 posted:People need to keep posting this until it is reality: https://theroommateswitch.wordpress.com/ This is a decent solution. 9 games with the standard 2 divisions feels fine though 6-3 division/non. Pakled: My response is, So? If you have to kill 1 game a year with instate FCS so be it, but that's a wasted game anyway. It should be a better game. That's not really a fair reason to stick with a trash schedule. You should have 2 OOC games to play with given you have to play an instate rival. 1 chump team, and a mediocre P5 or quality G5 team. I just don't think that should matter when you look at the league as a whole, your ADs would figure it out. The Notorious ZSB fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Jan 26, 2015 |

I think playing everyone else in the conference home and away within a 4 year cycle is what everyone should aim for. I'd still be game for a nine game schedule though.

Yeah surprise, playing a team from your conference instead of loving Southwestern Chattanooga State means you'll have a tougher schedule with fewer free wins. That's kind of the whole point, besides the added side benefit of actually playing all the teams in your conference more frequently than once a decade.

Part of the reason teams play those cupcakes beyond the easy win is that they are guranteed home games, and schools with popular football programs make a shitload of money from home games. Going to 9 conference games is likely going to mean fewer cool home and and home series between power conference teams, not fewer cupcake games. In Iowa's case it probably means our only major conference OOC game every year is going to be Iowa State. Not that I care that much about playing Pitt or whatever, but it still kinda stinks.

The FCS teams won't stop scheduling them, the NCAA won't ban them, and some states mandate them. It also helps fund their athletic programs, so there's that. I just...don't want to see some juggernaut lining up against poor Presbyterian or Incarnate Word and destroying them, that kinda sucks. If you're a good FBS team, schedule decent FCS teams, guys. Yeah you

I wish everyone had to play one OOC game against every other P5 conference every year, randomly selected during some sort of insanely overhyped ESPN show. If you've got a rival in one of those conferences that you like to play every year, that team can count for that conference requirement. I'd much rather lose two OOC games than watch Akron and Temple get their poo poo pushed in every year.

As long as we avoid the Directional Michigans we're usually safe. At one point we were the only team to beat Ben Rothlisberger for like two years. I'm not going to look it up but it feels like we have a way better record against Michigan and Michigan State under Ferentz than we do against Western.

Actually making it a rule that all P5 schools need to play an OOC P5 team and an OOC G5 team every year and they can do whatever the hell they want with their remaining OOC games (and the G5 requirement is waived if you have a 10-game conference slate I guess) would be kinda cool.

But it's weird when people are bagging on UF's lovely OOC schedule and I have to be like "uhhh, yeah, I agree it's awful and lovely and I hate it." It's just a weird thing to throw at other fans. I think all fans want good games and not awful FCS slogfests.

From the founding of the SEC until we went to divisions, Tennessee played Alabama, Kentucky, Vandy, and Ole Miss more than 50 times and Auburn more than 40. We played Georgia Tech 25 and Florida 18 and UGA 11. We played Duke 26 times. Everyone in Knoxville has basically moved on from hating Ole Miss as a rival but we've picked up on UGA and Florida just fine. You get over it.

At least Bobby can take comfort in the fact that he didn't die in utter misery with his legacy in burned ruins around him and the words "kiddy-loving enabler" permanently attached to him. That's a pretty big win IMO.
