Your ass is still raw from the last time you played a PAC team.
Of course we are. That is the only time we've ever lost to a Pac team. (Az St beat us once, but they were in the WAC
at that time)

They could do like UGA and schedule multiple p5 Ooc opponents pretty much every year
The SEC uses the FCS game as a 'pseudo' bye week before playing their rivals. They typically also have a real bye week in November, so that gives them 2 weeks to get healthy before playing their rival.
I don't understand Colorado doing it though. Do they even have a PAC 12 rival yet?
Highest attendance record was Michigan @ Utah. Y'all tell me...
Most SEC teams don’t have an actual bye in November, do they?
And that record belongs to Tennessee vs Virginia Tech by a mile.
Apples/Oranges. Reading Comprehension. Context. It matters. When you're replying to a post know what the fuck you're replying to...
Some of them used to. Haven't checked their schedules lately.
Edit: Alabama has a bye November 2nd and plays Western Carolina November 23rd.
Essentially 2 byes in November.
Wasn’t sure, that’s why I asked honestly. That’s crazy they can still have an actual bye in November. You’d think they’d space it out more. But then again I guess most teams have 2 byes a year now. Shit, I wished we saved one of our byes for November.
The down side to a bye in November is that it disrupts your practice/game schedule in the thick of the conference race. Teams can come off a bye weak flat or rusty and you don't want that in the home stretch. I really want to believe that there have been several cost benefit analysis on this given the sheer amount of money on the line. There would be benefits for either but the system seems to work out well for us.
Most PAC 12 teams are always looking for "a home and home series", especially with a SEC team.UCF is always looking for a home and home. Just sayin. @UCFhonors
I see what you are saying but the home stretch is basically one game, the rivalry game. Byes in November seem a bit ridiculous but since everyone has two now it really doesn’t seem out of line. I absolutely hate that we have a freakin bye in September.

Yeah I support you're right, nevertheless as an Oldtimer I miss the "home and home" series, as many fans do.Home and homes are better for the fans and even for the players but neutral site one offs at the start of the season is better for the schools' budgets and exposure.

Well I’m with not playing them at all. But that has to be a nation wide rule, not just a certain conference rule. Which I doubt will ever happen.
