Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 1208002, member: 527"] It's not that they are "tough"...its just that we can schedule easier. Why schedule "equal" or close to "equal" teams and why not schedule easier teams. Why play Maryland, Northwestern, or Minnesota when you can always schedule Colgate, Akron, Kent St, Miami of Ohio...etc. In the current state of college football a program like Syracuse (not competing for a national title anytime soon) there is nothing to gain by scheduling equal level opponents like Maryland and Northewestern and such. It's just silly at this point. Schedule wins. Get to 6 wins a bowl. Guarantee those extra weeks of practices every year and be smart about it [/QUOTE]
