The SEC might not get a FCS bye late in the season?!

OH NOES!
In the PAC half your season is a bye week. Not all things are equal.

Auburn could end up playing Georgia, aTm, LSU and Alabama in a span of 5 weeks.

Right, because Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, South Carolina, Ole Miss, MSU is a real murderer's row.

I very well could be missing something simple here? But does canceling OOC games help financially or something?

Really, there's no point to play OOC games.

No fans in the stands. They don't get a home game payday.

What's the point in playing FIU OOC? Why do teams pay them $1 mill?


To get a home game that brings in millions of dollars. That's not happening with empty stadiums.

Man, losing out on Oregon-Ohio State and Michigan-Washington is a real shame.

The week long game day threads. What could have been.

A previous post had a tweet saying the ACC would have them over for a sleepover

Not surprised, I posted this yesterday

Not looking good for 2020 season.

"Big Ten quite possibly going to a 10 game conference only season

Teams currently with 5 B1G road games/4 home * Nebraska * Iowa * Minnesota * Purdue * Northwestern * Illinois

Teams currently with only 4 road games/5 home: * Wisconsin * Penn State * Ohio State * Michigan * Michigan State * Indiana * Maryland * Rutgers

The B1G west would all get to add a home game against the B1G East "

I also want to remind everyone, there is still a possibility Rutgers WILL NOT be playing at all.

That explains why Tennessee got used like a truckstop hooker in their OOC games last season yet turned on the afterburners come conference time.

If you played the schedule I listed Oregon would be 1-3. Seriously quit embarrassing yourself.

This move will place a big fat asterisk next to the Gators 2020 national championship season.
