Colorado's new HC wants the PAC-12 to pussify their scheduling

[Olyduck]

South Carolina every year and:

Texas A&M
Notre Dame (8 games scheduled)
Georgia (5 games scheduled)
LSU (home and home)
Oklahoma (home and home)

is scheduling a guaranteed win?



BTW, I agree that everyone should play the same amount of conference games. Y'all were the ones who made the change, not the ACC or SEC. Nobody forced y'all to go to nine, so why are y'all pushing to force us to make changes that are detrimental to our members?

se we ignoring Charlotte, Woffard, Georgia southern, Citadel, Kent State, Troy, South Carolina State, App State, Georgia State, Wyoming, UConn, Furman, LaTech, FAU??

Why are y'all afraid to play teams from your own conference?

I don't care if it's 10 games, 9 games or 8. All conferences should be playing the same number of conference games. It's not detrimental to any conference if they all play the same number of games.

Additionally, the number of conference games changed when the conferences started getting bigger. Based on the number of teams in your conference, you miss almost half the teams in your conference every year.

We aren't. We play eight teams from our conference every year.

The SEC and ACC each have four teams that play in-state OOC rivals every year. That means each of these eight teams would automatically have ten games of a twelve game schedule accounted for most years. Then you have the ACC's scheduling agreement with the Parasites from South Bend. That would mean that the teams with OOC rivals now have eleven out of twelve games accounted for in the years they play the parasites, and would ensure that the year they play at Notre Dame that they only get six home games, which means for Clemson a loss of about $7 million in ticket sales, concessions, etc. from the loss of a home game. It also has a very negative impact on the businesses in and around the town of Clemson when you take away a date of over 100k people coming into town for a game.

And it still wouldn't matter. The last year the Pac 12 was represented in the playoffs we played the same number of P5 teams in the regular season as the Pac 12 representative. Somehow we were able to win our two playoff games while Washington got the brakes beat off of them in their one game.

No. Isn't Oregon two non-P5 teams every single year except for 2024 when you play @ Hawaii and have three non-P5 teams scheduled?

The only time Clemson has more than the same number of non-P5 OOC games scheduled is 2021 because the ACC screwed us in the rotation with the Parasites by scheduling three games in four years and we were unable to find a P5 willing to come play @ Clemson in 2021 in exchange for a return game in 2024. It worked out OK for us in the end because it allowed us to schedule the game vs Georgia in Atlanta in 2024, but 2021 will be the first time since 2009 we haven't played two P5 teams OOC.

First, Clemson's out of schedule next year is Texas A&M, South Carolina,

I've seen the Pac 12's bowl record the past 10 years. Are you sure your conference has testicles to begin with? And I'm not convinced that top to bottom the Pac 12 would beat all of the G5s. The Pac 12's bowl record is 19-22 over the past 5 years. Fun fact, Conference USA is 20-13, Mountain west is 17-16, Sun Belt is 14-9, Independents are 8-4. That goes along with the SEC being 33-26, the ACC being 29-27, the Big 10 being 25-22, and the Big 12 being 18-17. So, of the 11 conferences (counting independents), the Pac 12 is eighth in bowl record. And the Pac 12 is about as relevant on the big stage as the G5, with one championship in the last 25 years. The SEC has 12, The ACC has 5, the Big 12 has 5, and the BIG has 3.

So maybe you shouldn't be pumping your schedule difficulty when your teams are completely incapable of competing with anyone on the big stage. And maybe you guys should stick to water polo.

BFD ... save the bs excuses and play your conference members for fvcks sake.

UCF is always looking for a home and home. Just sayin. @UCFhonors

UCF has a home & home with Stanford starting this season even though Stanford plays a 9 game conference schedule along with playing ND every year.

So we should ignore Oregon plays Montana, Hawaii, Stoneybrook, Portland State, Eastern Washington, Idaho, North Dakota State?

Should we ignore the fact that the PAC teams play more P5 teams than the ACC & SEC on average year in and year out? There's a reason those two conferences choose not to play their own conference members.

He is attacking one of the only SEC teams that is playing 10 P5 opponents every year for playing FCS opponents just like Oregon and Washington plays every year. Georgia is going out and scheduling big boy teamS in their non conference. He shouldn’t be shitting on Georgia for scheduling the same caliber of teams that his own team that Oregon does every year.

I’ve said before that I think an 8 conference schedule +2 P5 OOC is the ideal schedule in determining who the best teams in the country are. I’m less concerned with who the best team in a conference is.

If you're going to be in a conference then play your own conference members. Again there's a reason those two no testicle no tradition conferences choose not to play their own conference members.

Sorry, it’s Clemson but they also play 10 P5 opponents every year. Not the teams to attack.

I think you forgot:
Georgia and Texas A&M backing out against UO led to 4 of those FCS opponents.

And yet they are winning Natties every year while the B1G and PAC12 aren’t even getting to the dance.

I’m talking futures schedules. How many of those games canceled are in the future? I’m not even talking about that joke of OOC you had last year. How many of those 11 games in the future of the teams that I listed are because of canceled games?

I see nine P5 games on Washington's schedule this year. I count ten on Clemson's. Why is Washington scheduling like a pussy?

I understand you hate college football but the rest of us know a pseudo fvcking conference when we see one. The cvnts expanded to 16 teams and went on a 12 year cross division rotation just so they could take easy street.

What's the date of the Washington & Arizona State game this year?

 

[AlaskaGuy]

Washington has a home & away with Michigan starting next season and right after that they have a home & away with Ohio St. The Huskies will be doing more travelling in the next four years than Clemson does in two decades.

 

[Deep Creek]

Well most of the PAC12 teams do play an FCS team every year so obviously PAC12 fans have no problem paying to see FCS opponents. I don’t see much of an advantage gained if your opponent is also scheduling a patsy the weak before. Either you get the free win early in the season or you get it at the end of the season. The fact that people see this as some monumental advantage that the ACC and SEC has over everyone else is comical to me.

There is a lot of 'em that ain't payin'!

From what I've seen, a lot of them don't even fill their stadiums for their conference brethren much less G5/FCS opponents. Too lazy and too technomologically to research it, but it sure looks like a lot of empty seats in many of the PAC 12 stadiums I've seen. But, I could be wrong

 

[AlaskaGuy]

What's the date of the Washington & Arizona State game this year?

The PAC is on a two year rotation, the SEC and ACC are on a twelve year rotation. Do the math.

What conference has 16 teams and who has a 12 year rotation? Pretty sure no conference has more than 14 and the longest rotation is once every 6 years. But please let me know what I am missing.
