No the ones that are mostly been proven accurate by the huge study people bring up here all the time. The one that shows a correlation between stars and wins.

Realistically, given our recruiting rankings over the same period, we should beat UCONN and Colgate. USF is slightly better in rankings - and were in year 4 of Taggert vs year 1 of Babers; if you gave me just the recruiting rankings and years guys have played in the same system, I'd bet we could guess who'd win with like a 60-70% accuracy. ND's classes are way better.

To be clear - I don't have a problem scheduling USF. I'd prefer a different school from that conference, but we should be right there with any of them. We don't get a choice in playing ND or not - but the years we know we are playing them, we should go lighter in the other games. USF would have beaten ND this season. ND should be the toughest OOC.

I think most people are in a agreement that it works best if we do: 1FCS/2G5 + 1P5. I'm just saying if we can help it, one of our G5 and one of our P5 shouldn't be teams that routinely vie for their conference championship and bring in way better or similar recruiting classes.

I don't think what we did back in the days should have any bearing on what we're trying to do now. CFB has changed a bunch, we've got a horrible 15 year stretch to drag around, and a new coach we'd like to keep. Starting him off with 4 OOC wins every year would help keep him around I think.
