Its genius, really. Whoever wins gets to claim a P5 win on their non-conf even if the opponent is G5 quality.I guess that both schools wanted to schedule a really weak power five conference opponent.
After much evaluation, they realized that they were overthinking the problem.
As long as Bama (UT) and Georgia (Auburn) hold sway over the league office, no way does it change. And in times when strength of schedule is important and UF continues to put FCS team(s) on the schedule, I think its best that we keep LSU around.All kidding aside, Something must be done about the biased approach to conference scheduling.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that Florida can go 10 years without playing Auburn.
It’s absolutely unfair that Florida plays LSU every year while others get teams like Arkansas.
I think Florida should schedule a home and home with Arkansas or Ole Miss to try and forge change
I think this may be the first post of yours I’ve ever read where you didn’t hate something. Everything ok? First we lost law, can’t go losing another resident pessimist.I understand that they are in the ACC but were not mandated to play each other within the conference schedule, but I actually like what they are doing. They each wanted/needed another OOC game and decided to schedule a P5 game for 2 years instead of paying some division 7 school to come in for 100 bucks. It is relatively local, somewhat easy for fans to get o and less expensive for each to travel. Is UNC-WF a must see TV game? No. but you could have UNC-Western Carolina and WF-Elon this weekend instead.
Screw that! Can we just play Tennessee twice?With this push to start scheduling 10 P5 games a year, maybe, just MAYBE the SEC will finally move to a 9 game conference slate so we can have two rotating West teams along with LSU.
Winner of the SEC is going to be in the playoffs. SoS is meaningless.As long as Bama (UT) and Georgia (Auburn) hold sway over the league office, no way does it change. And in times when strength of schedule is important and UF continues to put FCS team(s) on the schedule, I think its best that we keep LSU around.
