I agree that would certainly help but a great game on Saturday starts excitement or continues it to a higher level and then playing in the NCG would push it even higher.   I'm not really an all conference guy but I see where the bread is buttered as do you and the better this conference is the more money we ALL make.

Not only money but it helps SU get rated.   Perception is the key, you play in a tough conference you have a buffer and when you don't you have to prove yourself over and over again.  Just look at the SEC schools ranked with 2 losses...have they beat anyone outside of their conference....No.  Good loses inside and outside of the conference but their place on the top 25 is just because they play in the SEC, period.

What I'd like to see SU do is schedule a huge impact game vs a major program and 2 or 3 Lemoynes.   It won't challenge the team as much but it's the way to play the ratings game.   That's how you get into the Top 25 for those of you that want that as your target.   Now, we're 4-0 and playing a 4-0 Clemson...it makes news and ratings.
