USF Needs To Buy-Out Stony Brook Game

We're 2 seasons removed from the darkest period in USF football. Kudos for the thinking big but I think I'm good just settling for a conf title and a NY6 bowl.

We did just hit a milestone for first ever ranking in final polls, so conference championship would be a nice progression...

when we scheduled i didnt understand it

rinky dink opponents

we want to play with the big boys except we dont play the big boys!

 

In the next six years we have 7 games against Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech & BYU. Who exactly is Harlan supposed to schedule in order to avoid having "Rinky Dink" opponents?

We just had FSU at home. UF doesn't want to play us....even on their field. UM said they are no longer interested in continuing the series. Who is beating down out door to play us?

In 2014, Indiana (who I am sure you would say is Rinky Dink) paid $750,000 to not play us but play FIU instead. http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/22/indiana-pays-750000-to-swap-usf-for-fiu-in-2015-2016/

sounds like you're jealous USF doesn't have a FedEx (there was no reason to bring them into this)...I understand why, the $$$ is nice.

FedExForum:

FedExPark:

FedEx Institute of Technology at The University of Memphis:

the new Video Board at the Liberty Bowl:

again, you don't make changes to the 2017 football schedule in Jan of 2017...good luck, though...a strong USF is good for the AAC.

USF has a good chance to go undefeated OOC with P5 win...take that and run with it!

It's now the world's largest Bass Pro. I mean, if you're going to build 'redneck disney' why not put it where TN, AR, and MS all meet?

they even turned the old luxury suites into hotel rooms...

"a 13-0 USF team getting left out of the CFP for a 10-2 P5 team"

a 13-0 USF would most likely be sent to the 'access bowl'...I doubt you'll ever see a G5 team in the playoff unless it's expanded to 6 or 8.

this is probably true unless the g5 team's ooc games were against ranked p5 teams

Houston had the perfect two-year plan, that we've brought up numerous times before on this board, to crash the playoff. They shot thenselves in the foot, and pulled a 2007 Bulls, by losing three road conference games. That's how it needs to be accomplished. Have a great year one (only losing one game and winning the access bowl against a top 15 P5.) Then go undefeated in year two with a great OOC schedule. Especially since three of the top four had one loss; Houston would've crashed it.
