There are 11 P5 schools that GameDay has not broadcast a show.

i feel like UVa and UNC should be way better at football. would like to hear from the Hoo and Heel fans on this board why they aren't.

great college towns, beautiful campuses and solid recruiting bases. what gives?

Academics/lack of academics.

Remember the band member dying on the bus? Some hazing thing. They got in deep shit over it.

Didn't they disband the Marching 100 over that incident?

 

[Deep Creek]

I bet that was when Cal had that lesbo dyke AD.

Now that is not very representative for a true left coaster. Left coasters are the epicenter for accepting diversity man. Come on, get with it.

That sounds more like something a West Texas hick would say!

Good question. I got nuttin' though.

Academics/lack of academics.

Welsh had decent success at UVa in the 80s and 90s. I think he's proof that you can do fairly well at UVa. They have been mostly mediocre since he left.

Mack Brown did a pretty good job there in the 90s, but they really haven't done anything since then. The academic scandal there makes things any stranger. They cheated for a couple of 8-5 seasons w/ Butch Davis. On paper, UNC should be a pretty decent football gig.

Why did they go to Vanderbilt?

Academics/lack of academics.

Are you suggesting that schools that excel in academics suck at athletics and/or vice versa?

 

[NolePride]

Where would they even hold it at Wake? They'd have to go
back onto campus, because there is no room outside of Groves
Stadium, unless they're going to take up the entire parking lot.

A lot of it is is that we haven't really had great QB play since Schaub left. Also, we didn't recruit well in the Tidewater area for many years, which is where a lot of the best recruits in the state are located. Virginia Tech was able to capitalize on our negligence there and have been the premiere football school in the state. And finally, our head coaches haven't been great. Hell, I still think that Mike London set this program back many years by his idiocy. I think that Bronco will be fine but how far he can take the Cavs remains to be seen.

 

[Gopherfan84]

Honestly, I'd put us at just above Illinois on the original list. We're aren't going to be good enough any time soon to justify a visit.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Actually I think Cal has the best shot of that bunch. Iowa st is better right now, but if Cal ever goes on a run I can see a USC, Stanford, Washington, Oregon matchup getting game day. Ames is going to be a hard sell and Iowa st may have already peaked last year. How long till that coach bails?

No. It was a joke. VA has stringent academics requirements while UNC has fake academic requirements.

Why did they go to Vanderbilt?

Vandy was top 20 at the time, playing against I believe a top 10 Auburn team. Like 2009 or 2010 in that area.

Sally Hemmings' revenge (UVa) and something in the state's water supply (NC)

Honestly, part of this is a bit of Jography. When it gets late in the season, Gameday don't wanna be out in the cold in Champaign, or Minneapolis, or Syracuse. For those schools to get a visit, they need to be ranked in the top 10-15, pre-season, AND they need to be playing a team with a decent pulse during the first 3-4 weeks.

 

[BamaDude]

My feelings on the order of likelihood:

Iowa St.
Maryland
Virginia
.
.
Then, if one or more of the following teams starts 3-0 or 4-0 and has an interesting opponent coming up: Duke, California, Kansas, Syracuse
.
.
After that, I think Troy, Hawaii, West Florida or Liberty might make an appearance before:
.
.
Minnesota
Illinois
Rutgers
Wake Forest

Maybe those places should put a little cocaine on their dick? I hear the mommyship really likes that.

 

[Peter Gozintite]

Bet you wanna just beat her up

 

[olympicoscar]

They usually go to a small school once a year. I would love to see Mt. Union (div 3) be a host. They've won a lot of Div 3 nattys this century.

 

[huskers1217]

but how many of those schools had the basketball gameday on campus?
