Cupcake scheduling in the Playoff era

[charlie42s]

Reading is a challenge I guess.

This is based off of all the scheduling announcements since the playoff was approved. Basically out of about 300 Announcements, only 86 were vs Power 5 conference teams.

I knew that, but some teams were already improving their OOC schedule before the announcement, because they knew it was coming. It's a slanted article.

Texas was one of those teams. Before scheduling OSU, they had already scheduled H&H with ND & Cal in 2015&2016, USC & Maryland in 2017&2018 and ND in 2019&2020.
You'll notice that since Texas plays a 9 game conference schedule it means there will only be 1 OOC cupcake each season through 2018.

But the lesser conferences need money too

F that shit

I really don't have a big problem scheduling mid-majors in there, I just really hate to see any FCS schools on the menu. But if we go all Power 5 vs Power 5, they'll need to just have someone set up a rotation for everyone.

If they put a rule on it, they need to add a "no backing out" clause. It happens way too much. Vandy, aka James Franklin did it to the Buckeyes at the last minute two years ago.

(But he won 9 games! What?)

I'm looking forward to OU coming up, and another series with Texas, always great games.

I only hope I'm alive when the Texas series occurs and then able to remember it afterwards.
