Just eliminate playing fcs schools across the board

I just don't think it's wise to do. :yeshrug:

OU NEVER starts out a season with our big non-conf game as the opener. You've been practicing against yourself all summer long, there's no game rhythm, no being hit for real by an opponent. It's not wise to jump into a season cold against a top 5-10 opponent. You need at least 1 game to see what you need to improve upon. 1-loss can ruin your entire season no matter how much you improve afterwards.


But perhaps everyone should just schedule AAC, MAC schools instead for their "cupcakes"

fukk that bullshyt. Separate the men from the boys game 1 :birdman:

I hate the whole play Valdosta State shyt that Florida does. You can get just about the same thing with playing a lower level D1 school like Kansas.

This is what i'd do. Even though conferences like the Mac and AAC have gotten way more competetive, power 5 schools should be able to handle them. I get what your saying about 1 loss can ruin your season but i look at it like most power 5 teams playing fcs schools face better talent in practice.

I think 1 cupcake max and then 1 ooc vs another power 5 should be a requirement. Where you place that cupcake is up to scheduling but that is the best for everyone IMO. Cause playing cupcakes does you 0 good if you got playoff hopes.
I'd rather lose one to another team that's a power 5 team who ends up losing 2-3, than finish undefeated or have 1 loss with a schedule full of cupcakes. Then your ass gon get Baylord

All I'm saying.

Even if ur Alabama practicing against Alabama in practice, an opponent no matter how inferior, is gonna being trying to hit you harder than ur teammates in practice.

If the NFL has 5 preseason games, cfb needs at LEAST 1

NO preseason game and NO cupcakes

Those cupcake games are basically wasted weekends as far as getting entertainment from your team

I dont tihkn Memphis has staying power. Houston can make a good showing though with the talent in that area and Tom Herman.

Be good to get them and maybe BYU
what do they add? they have their own TV network if I'm not mistaken so I'm not sure if they're willing to give that up

That actually isn't a bad idea AT ALL :leon:

It'll NEVER happen or even be mentioned but a spring game against an FCS team or even practices with other teams like the NFL do would be great.
Yeah NCAA aint shyt, Auburn & Bama wanted to do it to raise money for the tornado damage a few years back and the NCAA said no :smh:
