These are not weak teams, they are average BCS teams. Ill. has had decent teams the past 10 years, and they will again. Same with MSU, NC St. etc. We can't take anything for granted. We play UL, WVU and Pitt every year, those are sure to be tough games annually. Look at what K State did. Winning 10 games every year is more important than getting beat down playing a brutal schedule. Sprinkle the hard games (UM) with plenty of cupcakes. Build up a string of 9-10 win seasons and bowl games. Build and get national recognition. Bill Snyder is considered a great coach. He "cupcaked" his way to a great program. They won and brought in recruits. Winning brings in recruits, they want to be associated with a winner. So, schedule a few toughies to get national exposure, hopefully by winning them, but don't forget about the cupcakes to build up that impressive record every year. DW is doing a great job scheduling so far.
