Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 4769734, member: 676"] One thing to remember re: scheduling is that the playoff field expands from 4 to 12 next year. It's no longer a pipe dream for us to make the playoff. It's going to look a lot like college basketball where there's a "bubble watch" and teams' resumes are put under the microscope at the end of the year with SOS, Top 25 wins, etc. So if the goal is simply to make the Weedeater Miracle Whip Dick's Sporting Goods Bowl that's played on December 26th in Detroit, then fine let's play four cream puffs. But if the goal is to make a run at a playoff bid once or twice per decade, you need some semblance of non-conference power wins. I don't want to get left out one year when we have a great team because we didn't play anyone. [/QUOTE]
