That is such an embarrassment. But Jax State can compete at that level in a one-game shot. They've got some talent. But the QB that beat them was a backup true freshman, so... :shock: Ole Miss losing to Jax St would equate to Indiana losing to an FCS school or MAC school. An FCS or MAC school? When...

Jason....the rules are the same for Akron as they are for FSU. Akron just hasn't developed their product. You like socialized football? I like Mercedes myself. I am now driving a Honda. Why not make Mercedes market their cars for the same cost as my Honda? That would be fair. FSU would play Akron i...

The converse is ...Why should some schools not only hurt the local economy by giving up a home game when they do not have to, but why should they give up the revenue of a home game? My argument to that is that if 6 home and 6 away is seen as the standard, you really are not losing money. You are no...

Jason...when your schedule is top 5 and you play a couple of Big Boys a year in OOC, you try to bring in teams for a home game. The CUSA teams want a bunch of $$$, so did the Sun Belt... The Sun Belt is so awful that the AA Colonial Conference is rated as a more powerful conference. (by the by...FS...

That is why they play on a team picked to finish near the bottom of the MAC. Kudos to Florida for scheduling them though at least the Gators aren't opening with an FCS school. FBS schools that share the same number of scholarships are the ones that should get a shot at the bigger name and bigger con...

I know the SEC is great and has mainly been ahead of the other conferences for the most part, BUT I REALLY DO WONDER WHAT IT IS ABOUT THE ACC. It seems that that conference can't produce the two or three really good/great teams that stand out. The Big 12 has had Texas and Oklahoma and then the othe...

Jason, the Big 10 does not demand that their teams play 8 or 9 home games. Financially, every team attempts to have as many home games as possible. That makes sense financially. Ohio St does not owe anyone a home game, at their stadium, thus losing a bunch of money. Iowa will play Northern Iowa, bu...

FSU has been to Colorado and to Utah in the last few years in OOC...goes to Oklahoma this year and goes to West Virginia in 2012. But..only one OOC long trip a year. For what its worth I think FSU does a great job of scheduling with the exception of playing FCS teams instead of a Sun Belt or CUSA m...

There are two sides to the scheduling coin, Jason. Akron wouldn't pay to get Ohio State to come. Even at the hall of fame bowl, they couldn't generate the cash to get Ohio State to leave the shoe. Yes, they middies have a hard time getting a schedule they can manage and still get enough money to ru...

The MAC and the ACC seem to have the best races year in and year out for the past decade or so. I think they'll be right near the top this year as well. I think the Big East, CUSA, and Pac-10 could be pretty tight this year too. By that I mean more than just two or three teams fighting it out for th...

Rumor has it that the Big Ten is trying to comprise the schedule in such a way that each of its member schools could have 8 home games in a 12 game season. If its true that is total bunk. EVERY school in FBS should have 6 home and 6 away or as close to that as possible. There is something to be sai...

The thing I have always found funny about things like this is that the same programs seem to be on top year after year in college even though you basically turn over your whole roster every 4 years. In the NFL, however, where successful teams can hold on to their players for a long time the teams do...

Arkansas vs. Nebraska

Yes but in the past their game has often determined the winner of the Big 10....not just the winner of a division. I would split them and have some clause that said they will play every year. If both teams are good enough they will meet again in the conference championship game. All the rumors I am...
