The "benefit" of a tough rival? uhh we have to actually play them. That's not a "benefit" when they are good which they usually are. It means our OOC schedule is tougher. If we had a weaker rival like say, Pitt, we'd have faced far fewer ranked OOC opponents.
Traveling does not matter and is not an advantage net-net on a home and home contract. Any advantage we gain by not traveling far to play in Tally, fsu gets an equal advantage right back the next year by not traveling far to play in Gainesville.
I disagree that travel is not a factor.
