I think this season is the perfect example of why we just need to load up on cupcakes and pad our record.  What exactly does scheduling the likes of Penn St and Northwestern get us?  Sure they are winnable games most years, but there is still usually a good chance we can lose.  Right now we are 1-2 with absolutely no buzz, slightly better then 0-2 and no pulse what so ever last week.  Our home opener had maybe 28k in the seats, thanks to a good showing by the students.  Most of the times we can't control when we schedule these non conference games due to so many other outside circumstances.  It's not like we can just sit down and line up non conference game 1 against so and so, non conference game 2 against bla bla bla, and etc.  It's like doing a puzzle trying to fit pieces together it's just not black and white.  For those reasons we shouldn't take a chance scheduling 2 high end bcs schools a year.  If we were 3-0 right now, but beat 3 crap teams there would definitely be some buzz heading into ACC schedule.  Not even factoring in fan support there is bowl eligibility, and recruiting to concern, which have already been touched on so I want recite it again.  I guess this was a waste of time though since Frazier has basically already came out and said we will continue to schedule how we currently are.  IMO it's a big mistake.
