This right here is 100% spot on! There are no brownie points for playing tough teams out of conference. I don't get the fascination with it. If we were good, fine. But we aren't and haven't been for many years. For 10 years we have been a pretty bad football program for the most part, its time we schedule cupcake city all the way. Especially now that we are in the ACC and will get FSU and Clemson every year no matter what. The goal is to make sure we are halfway to a bowl after September.  So worst case scenario is we only need 3 conference wins to get a bowl and the extra practices that come with it each year. That's how you build up a bad program.

When we open our season vs 2 pretty good Big 10 teams and go 0-2...most of your casual fans have checked out by Sep 15th and say "Same ole SU football." Winning fills up the dome...and it doesn't matter who you are winning against!!  SU could schedule 3 cream-puffs every year, play them in early September and go into conference play 3-0...and people will be enthused about football in this area.
