P5 Change in Scheduling Philosophy?

[TheReal_NU]

I don't play enough conference mates is a bit like a Tranny telling me she has a bigger dick....at least mine is made out of penis.

Perhaps so, but it doesn't change the fact that the best team in your conference is still sub par...still better than the Pac-12 though, so you've got that going for you.

Oklahoma is not subpar. Unless you are stating there are only two teams in the nation that aren’t subpar. I applaud your deflection though.

What we should be really focus on is eliminating games against FCS and limit the amount of G5 games but this can't happen because we need teams to be eligible for the 40+ bowl games we have.

Mandatory home/home. If someone wants to play McCheese State, they can travel to their house as well.

Unlike the ACC & SEC, the other three Power 5 conferences actually play their conference members.

We play most of the conference in the regular season and the rest in the playoffs.

The SECCG was play in game for us and UGA.

The SECCG wasn’t the playoff. It was one year. An it’s even further proof how only playing 8 conference games gives the SEC (and ACC) an advantage in making the playoffs. Kudos to your conference for taking advantage of said advantage.

...also holds over 100,000...not that you would know, because who the fuck would invite Washington...can't even fill your own stadium for most games.

Didn't Alabama have to change rules for tickets after fans kept leaving early?

 

[Texas Jefe]

Sorry if this ruffles any feathers out there, but top tier programs should never schedule an FCS team. Really don't want to hear that "it is supporting those small schools' sports department" either.

Let the bottom tier teams in your conference schedule them then-hell they need any wins they can get, it would be mutually beneficial.

But there is no reason on this Earth that Alabama, Michigan, OSU, Texas, Georgia, LSU, USC, ND, et al, should do so. The fans friggin hate it. The starting players don't like it. In general, it sucks.

And congrats to your one true champion...

Yeah, that’s what I thought......

The crowd that left would have been larger than several of your games last year, and the crowd that stayed would have filled your stadium to standing room only.

 

[NolePride]

Why do southern teams hate their stadiums?

Because they won't let homeless people shit on the field.

Alabamians and math...not a good mix.

Oregon had over 54,000 in attendance, compared to your average attendance of 101,000...making your assertion mathematically impossible.

Notice I said some of your games, was there 54,000 at the Portland St game? Oregonian and words...not a good mix.

According to KEZI there were 47,000 at the Portland State Game...101,000-47,000 = 54,000 = Standing room only at Autzen.

LOL at your Donald Duck Stadium, we get more people for our spring game.

Meh

I'll pass on adding a game vs either
Miami, VT, Duke, Virginia, Pitt, or North Carolina

Why make it harder for ACC teams to get to 6 wins and lose out on money from bowl season

You stated "several". Why are you backtracking?

The crowd for bowling green was 50,0000 and 101 was our average rounded down, our average was 101.781...101,781-50,000 = close enough to a sellout at your Donald Duck stadium that nobody gives a fuck.

Troy is closer to Oregon in average attendance than Oregon is to Alabama. Hell, Troy, Oregon and Whoregon State combined would barely beat Alabama in attendance.
