Even elite teams can stumble once in conference, and then suddenly our margin for error is gone if our non-conference schedule is similar to Washington State's this year. We are doing ourselves a disservice by playing a schedule that's artificially weak when we could handle more.

And then there's just the fundamental idea of entertainment. There's an entire thread reminiscing about our 1991 beatdown of Florida. Playing and beating new out-of-conference opponents is what makes college football great as a sport. There's a lot of traditional brand names who would fill the Dome up, but who we would be favored against at home: Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Iowa, etc. Playing one of them along with two mid-range MAC teams and an FCS is a perfect non-conference schedule.

I feel like our fanbase has been so beaten down and emasculated from bad football for so long that we've forgotten what it's like to have confidence and swagger. We are good now!
