Interesting conversation with friends from big BCS conferences

Well we can start things by scheduling harder opponents every year.  Do it the way the B1G is doing it now and just stop scheduling FCS teams all together (No one goes to those games anyway and if we get back to being good, we shouldn't need them). 

 

If we can become a 6-6 team (or somewhat close to that) next year, the bigger players in the P5 might be more apt to consider us for scheduling in the future so they can have a respectable Out of Conference schedule.  With the new playoff system, people want to have stronger schedules.  We can take advantage of that and get the big game opportunities (all the publicity/traveling fan money) that come with it. 

 

Sucks that we have to aspire to be the next Boise St. but that is where we are in the AAC.  We have to win games and create our own opportunities.

Would also like to see us schedule nothing but P5 for OOC from here on out.

 

 

But other than the single FCS cupcake, I'd have to say our OOC schedule is in pretty good shape right now. Probably just about as good as we could hope for at the moment.
