Another thing about scheduling.

I still don't think we schedule in nonconference with the idea of winning. I call it "scheduling for advantage". Our first game is against FAU. We should never schedule a southern team in non conference early in the year. Why? Well its not to our advantage to do so. A southern team from Florida is used to the afternoon heat. We don't have to play them in the first place and they bring very little to the table as far as prestige, money and fan appeal. But the reason is still the "heat". We should be playing those ridiculous MAC teams our AD wants to schedule early in the season when its nice and crispy. Toledo, BG, etc would be nice first game scrimmages for us.

BTW, the Sooners and Cowboys don't seem to be "schedule dumb!". Who are they opening with? OU v Akron. OSU v Central Michigan.

Duh!
