The mix as I see it:
 
Years with 5 ACC home/4 ACC away (add game at MetLife, 1 away game (try for interesting destination games or driveable away games), and 1 home game versus a team like Akron or Colgate (after they meet min scholie standards in a few years)
 
Years with 4 ACC home/5 ACC away, host 1 game home versus BE or better league team, 1 away/or one game home versus lower Div 1A team to meet contracts, and 1 home game versus a team like Akron or Colgate (after they meet min scholie standards in a few years)
 
Some random thoughts:
Here on out we should only schedule MetLife in odd years, we should play Colgate almost yearly (maybe 7 out of 10 years), and we need to get 2 for 1's or 3 for 2's with MAC, SunBelt, CUSA type teams. Additionally we need to sprinkle in a home/home with some BCS or nBE teams for variety. The CNY fan will not be able to drive to many ACC games (BC, Pitt and MD) so SU should look at some nonconf games versus teams within a 6 hour drive of Syracuse ([URL='http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rutgirls']Rutgirls[/URL], UConn, UMass, Buffalo, Temple) some of these will be 1 for 1's ([URL='http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rutgirls']Rutgirls[/URL] and UConn) but teams like UB, UMass, Akron, Kent, Temple, etc...should be willing to take 2 for 1's or 3 for 2's.
 
The overriding goal (not counting MetLife games) is to get 6 home games every year as a minimum...and hopefully 7 in some years.
 
Finally, why the Colgate love? Simply stated they will bring 3-4k fans to the game and should be cheaper to get as they only require a 45-50 minute bus ride.
