The op has a point.  This should be a top 10 team however we are lacking o line and de talent to be a top 4 team imho so it aint going to matter.  We are really close though a few transfers and we could be there.

No he doesn't.  His point was the having Stony Brook on our schedule was going to keep us from getting into the playoffs.  Let's:  win all of our OOC games, win our division, win the conference, and go undefeated.  Then we can complain that Stony Brook kept us out of the playoffs.

Agree with Apis here, and so does usfbullrider. Stony Brook doesn't matter. But it is a home game that maybe we don't lose money on.

I don't think it's nearly as easy as you make it out to be.  How do you know that KState would drop an easy home win for a possible loss?  KState has always had terrible OOC schedules.

I think it's a lot easier than you're making it out to be, too. I don't believe NONE of these teams would trade out their current matchup for a top 25 team at home to open the year.

 

William and Mark @ Virginia

Jackson State @ TCU

VMI @ Air Force

Missouri State @ Missouri

Akron @ Penn State

Eastern Washington @ Texas Tech

Kent State @ Clemson

Southeast Missouri State @ Kansas

Charleston Southern @ Mississippi State

Bowling Green @ Michigan State

Portland State @ Oregon State

Southern Utah @ Oregon (would be spectacular)

Montana State @ Washington State

Youngstown State @ Pitt

Northwest State @ LA Tech (also a fun matchup)

Well, of course you do.  If you didn't we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Which one of those want to lose their first home game of the season? Would they, or could they all have better match-ups, USF included? Of course they could.

I'm just not sure how you sell, or trade, a win for a loss. LA Tech, maybe, the rest of them, no chance.

We need to win the conference, let the rest of the chips fall where they may.
