Best & Worst non-Conference games in 2012


Recommended Posts

Again a pretty pathetic slate of non-conference games for CFB. CFB is the best but let's make it better by taking scheduling out of the hands of the AD's and have it controlled by some governing-body. Nobody wants to see these 2-4 exhibition games at the beginning of each year. Why not have a system like:

 

- 1 cream puff of your choice

- 3 games vs other BCS conferences (one has to be an away game)

- 8 conference games

TO did this one better

- 1 cream puff of your choice

- 2 games vs middlin' teams other BCS conferences

- 1 game against a traditional power (away game every other year)

- 7 conference games

It is real simple. If we struggle AT ALL against Idaho State, we are in for a LONG season!!! That game should be like a throw back game in the 90's 70-0!!

 

See South Dakota State 2010. :)

Ark. State will be this years south dakota state.

ASU should be much better than SDSU has ever been.

That would be great, but is there any reason for the schools to agree to give up their scheduling power? Personally, I don't think the answer is taking autonomy away from the schools, but to provide an incentive for playing big games. Right now, the risk of playing a game against a non-conference opponent that has a chance of beating you is much higher than the benefit of a win. If strength of schedule were a meaningful stat it would go a long way to encouraging better matchups.
