Who Gets The Axe? Yukon or Toledo

[Blanko97]

Is it crazy to think that if Fran believes there’s a chance to make the playoff that we should keep the SOS strong and keep Toledo and UConn? I know it’s sort of playing with fire but it could mean quite a bit come the end of the year to have 10-2 record with 10 FBS wins versus others’ 9

The B1G did try it for a few years. If they go back to no FCS, I am sure you will see the other conferences eventually follow.

I don't think the B1G would do it at this point unless the SEC agreed to do it too.

But yes, those two would have to be the trendsetters, and then the ACC and Big 12 can follow.

Wildhack will do what the money says (and he should). If the money says keep the UNH and Toledo home games, then that's what we'll do.

I know we all think 2026 will be better, but weighing @ UConn vs home UNH as a SOS tiebreaker in the playoffs seems just a tad aspirational.

Having one team play one less conference game than everyone else is such a bad look. I know they don’t want to share any additional revenue but go ahead and add USF to get to 18 and call it a day. Between this and bending over for Notre Dame the ACC looks like chumps

There was a hybrid solution too

Build in a ghost opponent as Team 18 to make the math work for 9 conference games for all.

My Ghost Opponent: Notre Dame 5 games/Yukon 4 games

The ACC could bring Yukon in either as all sports but FB (4 FB games as a non conference member) or just a FB scheduling agreement

If you bring in Yukon with a ND agreement consider adding 1-3 more schools that don't have FBS FB to even up hoops. St. Johns, Nova and Georgetown are my possible choices.

It has to be UConn getting dropped. There is zero benefit from us going to Uconn and potentially being upset. They have been getting closer...one of these years they'll probably do it. No thanks

I think we should keep UConn because it's a very easy road trip for me.

Easy for CNYers too.

Last time we played there I brought a group of 100+ and we sat lower level 40-45 yard line. Great fun...even the UConn broadcast team said we were quite noisy.

If the ACC pushes all teams to get to 10 P4 games next year...one of them has to leave the schedule in '26.

Yukon could likely be pushed back. I assume we are negotiating a multiple team swap of schools.

Toledo already hates our guts...lol do we piss them off more?

I'd make a list of G6 schools that can satisfy a P4 game.

Keep it to 10-15 or under.
Boise, Army, Navy, Air Force, Memphis, USF, SDSU, Oregon St, Washington St, Yukon

Hopefully not UConn.

No need to give that program a platform for success.
