Future College Football Schedule Thread

I see Mullen just copying his Miss State scheduling strategy.

 

If Kliff isn't fired soon, this could be a battle for the crown of worst power 5 team

 

Except it isn't a road game. It's a UF home game in a place they have had neutral games before ( including vs Miami in the 80's ).

But, yeh, I know what you mean.

 

The 2018 CFB season begins 3 months from today! Hawaii v Colorado State, 8/25, plus a smattering if other games.

 

Wyoming @ New Mexico State better be televised

 

Televise all of them! I’ll watch them.

 

As someone who lives in the west and went to a B1G school, I'm pretty sure I've watched more college football than the CFP committee the past 4 years. 9 AM-12 AM is quite the day.

I thoroughly enjoy he calls it Week 0.

 

YES! I spent the last 4 seasons in Las Vegas. Went to FSU. CFB from 9:00 AM till almost midnight every Saturday. Really it’s the dream time zone for college football fans.

 

Once you learn to handle it, it truly is best for TV viewing.

 

Love going to Vegas during CFB season for this reason

 

If it sticks, I’ll probably make that trip

 

I miss when B1G-Pac-12 was going to have an annual intersection game.

Beats the shit out of playing Pitt.

 

Why did that fall apart again?

 

~7-8 years ago? I think it was before PSU sanctions and those two bricks of shit joining.

 

Why though, not when. GBR

 

9 game schedule after the 2 shit bricks joined.

B1G should've ended at Nebraska.

 

I thought there was an objection before that, from a Pac school or two? Really would have helped their fledgling conference network.

That was 12 days before the sanctions dropped on PSU fwiw

 

I liked it better when we were at 12, PSU and Nebraska were "permanent rivals." Went to Lincoln in 2012, some nice Husker fan gave me a runza.

UMD and Rutgers are a bit less hospitable.

 

I first experienced this when I was in Seattle for the end of the 2017 playoffs. It was just weird having the SH end at 7 PM local, and still having time to do things after the game.

 

We need more games in Ireland and/or Australia.

I need to be able to watch 3 a.m. kickoffs

 

This was announced like 10 months ago and he even reported on it. I am confused.

 

The Tar Heels-Tigers game will be the third Chick-fil-A Kickoff game played in 2020 as part of a multi-week celebration of college football in Atlanta. West Virginia will play Florida State on Sept. 5 and Georgia will meet Virginia on Monday night, Sept. 7.

 

because Larry Scott is a fucking retard

 

Uga v uva makes me want to puke.

 

#North Carolina Tarheels #Auburn Tigers

 

Zero doubt that we will lose this game.

1) We may never win in that stadium.
2) We are intent on making our even years impossible.

EDIT: But then again, Bo Nix needs to kickoff his second straight Heisman run somehow.

 

I love me some football, but I have no desire to watch any of those games.

I'll likely watch them, tho. I'm just saying.

 

"This is going ok; let's go ahead and have 3 of them in 2020!"

 

North Carolina seems like a pretty tame team to schedule for an even year. We have to play another power 5 team, and I don’t know if Oregon State, Rutgers, Iowa State, Kansas, Indiana, etc. are lining up for a neutral site game with us in Atlanta(I wouldn’t really want to play those teams anyways) I just hate neutral site games.

 

Do we though?

***NOTE*** I completely agree with every other part of this post 100%.

 

Yeah

Good matchup.

1. It's not Clemson again.
2. UNC has a big alumni base in Atlanta too.
3. It's an easily winnable game
4. 2nd weekend of the season so it's the kickoff after dinner mint and gives Gus a cupcake week one to figure out his meds.

 

If I'm not mistaken we are 0-4 since 2010 in opening games against SEC teams.

 

I'll give it another year or two before I begin on UNC's p5 ooc woes

 

I can't imagine one of S. Miss or UMass not being moved or replaced for that year. And how in the hell did y'all have 2 non conf Nov games anyways

 

Any particular reason? Seems like an odd reaction

 

as of now the only "even" matchup of the series is WVU v. FSU.

 

Because UVA is awful with no recent success. At all.

 

But Bronco Mendenhall, bro.

He might have almost 45 ACC players on the roster by that game.

 

FSU and LSU talking about opening 2022 in Orlando

 

Now THAT is something I would go to.

 

This fits here.

“Neutral-site games really launched our program in Alabama when we first came there years ago,” Saban said. “But I think philosophically we’re sort of changing our thoughts on that and our future scheduling and trying to get more home-and-homes, which leads me to talk about what we need to do scheduling-wise.

“I’ve always been an advocate of playing all Power Five schools. I think we need to get – have more really, really good games on TV for the players. We can’t have fans who pay a lot of money for tickets and boxes and loges who support our programs to pay for games that no one is interested in watching.

“I’ve heard [Alabama athletic director] Greg [Byrne] talk about the fact that we don’t want to play nine SEC games, but I’ve always been an advocate of playing nine or 10 SEC games and a couple other games against some other good opponents that everybody would be happy to watch.”

So it’s not like Nick Saban is scared of a difficult schedule. But he’s also not going to unilaterally take on a dozen Power Five opponents if nobody else is on board.

 

Saban right
