Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1795631, member: 622"] In reality the ACC and SEC can make this happen with one phone call. Instead of 4 teams with a cross-over, all 14 teams would play the other conference, thus all P5 teams would play the 9 game schedule, with the ACC and SEC playing 8 conference and one from the opposing conference. No need to make the cross over games permanent outside the four. Simply rotate between the opposing conference. 5 teams would be home in odd years and 5 teams would be home in even years. You can rotate through the 10 teams, seed them, bracket them, whatever. In truth, the SEC and FSU and Clemson simply want a body bag money maker for an extra game at home. As FCS teams are not likely to kill off most P5 teams, playing a 13th game is not really as significant as many think. To keep the two bye-weeks, simply move the start of the season one week forward. The ultimate point is that FSU and Clemson and the SEC want the extra money and are willing to sacrifice the good of the conference to keep a little money for themselves. The same two teams whining about the extra home game are the two teams that whine about the weak schedule. Guess what? They created the mess buy paying exorbitant amounts for the body bag games and and need the payout to pay for the body bag. If you want to keep the FCS games, make it the first week, before Labor Day. Play 12 games against FBS teams, all home and home series. The seventh Home game is recent phenomenon. FSU used to play anyone anywhere. Miami, too. Allowing a few select schools to dictate for all of the P5 is just playing into their hands. Everyone compares the SEC to the NFL, screw them. They want to be pros, act like it. Equal number of home and home. Rotate around to play better teams. If you are elite, play only elite teams and see how your record turns out. That is the way the pros play! Elite teams have the hardest schedules in the NFL! Stop being pansies! Stop playing the patsies, suck it up and put on your big boy pants! Yes, this applies to the whole SEC, too! Sorry, someone had to say it. [/QUOTE]
