I’m for one getting tired of all college programs scheduling no name teams every opportunity they get. Everyone is up in arms that we have 5 undefeated teams that the BCS doesn’t work yet they fail to realize that most teams haven’t played anyone with a pulse all year. I’m a diehard Husker fan but to me it’s a bit disappointing to see the Huskers play 3 Sun-Belt teams. Virginia Tech was nice though look at Florida’s non-conference schedule it’s a joke and they claimed they were the best. Texas was the same way and if not for a 60.01 mark of the game they wouldn’t have made through a season undefeated. The 12th game was added so that teams could get another game in yet it made everyone just added another game for revenue. Should I ever have been an Athletic Director I would make a point to schedule like this for out of conference.
1 Warm-up team i.e. Sun-belt, MACs, WACs bottom feeder
1 Bottom feeder in an BCS Conference like Vanderbilt, Washington State, or Indiana
1 Middle of the pack team from BCS Conference like a Purdue
1 Elite team from a BCS Conference like a Florida, USC, Ohio State, or a Texas.
Yes, I realize instead of having 7-8 home games a year it may mean 6 but, it would be what best for college football, and a fan base can has something to be proud of should their team make it through it undefeated. Plus if more teams started doing it we may find a champion that has played a schedule worthy of being call the National Champion.
Questions/Opinions anyone I’m interested in hearing feed back
