USFJustin Posted September 17, 2017 Group: Member Topic Count: 1 Content Count: 39 Reputation: 11 Days Won: 0 Joined: 06/03/2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 So someone else hinted at this on Facebook earlier and I think it can be done. UCiF won't reschedule their game with GaTech this year, and both GaTech and USF have October 7th off for a bye week. We both could use a 12th game and GaTech is a better opponent than UMass (or even worse, no UMass). The ooc game would definitely increase our strength of schedule and a full schedule at that. I hope someone is looking at this possibility. It'd be somewhat satisfying to pick up a game that c. cancelled on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been mentioned on here and the reports are that no more schedule additions would be made at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because we want to keep the bye week and stay fresh for conference play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus has to be the CCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't get enough benefit from a win to offset the potential downside of a loss. And we wonder why it's so hard to schedule P5 teams - that's exactly what they think about us. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only said it because GT was mentioned for this season. Also, I don't wonder why it's so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 13 before Irma screwed everything up and we only lost the umass game. Now we have 6 home and 6 road instead of 7 home and 6 road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
