Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 2143870, member: 2585"] There has been a ton of arguing over the schedule - but it really boils down to this: [B]You can schedule to make a bowl [/B][I]or[/I][B] you can schedule to get into the playoffs.[/B] At most p5 schools, if you win your conference and finish undefeated - you're in the playoffs. This isn't hard. We should schedule to make a bowl until our talent is at the point where we're consistently at the top of the conference. Then *maybe* you schedule an LSU or Wiscy as way to sneak a 1 loss team into the playoffs. -- In the Big East years we needed our conference to win the perception that we were big boys. In the waning years of the Big East Gross tried to generate $$ to keep from becoming irrelevant (lot of people hate on him for this - but I still think it was worth the $$ pre-ACC). We are in one of the strongest conferences now, scheduling like we have the talent to get into the playoffs. Crazy-sauce. [/QUOTE]
