We already face the best in Clemson, FSU and Louisville every single year, plus ND every 2-3 years. I see ZERO evidence that recruiting has been aided by the OOC schedule we have played.  Unless I am forgetting, I think the only regular season OOC P5 wins we have since Marrone took over (to keep things more recent) are Northwestern in 2009 and Mizzou in 2012.  USC?  Swept us. Penn State? Swept us.  Notre Dame?  Swept both Met Life games.  Washington? Beat us in 2010(and 2007 but we will leave GERG out of this). Minnesota? swept us.  Northwestern?  Beat us in both 2012 and 2013 after that 2009 win.   We played FSU and Louisville in the Dome this year, attendance sucked.  Why?  because this team has been losing and has now missed a bowl for 3 straight years, which is very hard to do.  We win, no matter what the competition, fans will start coming back and recruiting will get better and better.  Losing all the OOC games I listed above has done the opposite.  We have had other problems of course, namely losing a ton of ACC games and losing to USF twice, but the OOC philosophy has sent us over the cliff.
