As far as P5 OOC games as discussed on this "thread", the ACC will require one in the near future (2016?) but that requirement can be satisfied by scheduling Indiana, Vanderbilt, Kansas, etc. A strong SU team (you are going to get there I think) would be favored to win such a game as those are not "powerhouse" programs for the foreseeable future*, for instance Duke defeated Kansas 41-7 last year at Wallace Wade Stadium, and in a year when you play ND per the ACC agreement with them you  already meet the P5 requirement so I would not schedule a 2nd P5 game. After all, FSU and Clemson (and Louisville) are already on the schedule - [I]every single year[/I] - and FSU and Clemson are still ranked as "top 5" programs in recruiting - and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future*. In the meantime I would play one 1-AA game against Colgate, Cornell (if the Ivy League permits it), and another NYS 1-AA team (rotate through the list as Clemson does to help in-state programs and gain favor and publicity as a "good guy" there helping them with $$$), one MAC team since they are in the "neighborhood" (sort of) but not the presumed strongest one, and do get a [I]continuing home and home series [/I]with that military academy in West Point, NY - scheduling problems solved with increased publicity in NYS - [I]and beyond[/I].
