Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4782214, member: 1023"] I disagree. Our current scheduling mindset is what creates a death spiral. Playing 4-6 games a year where you are almost guarenteed to lose means you are almost guaranteeing a 500 record is your upside. Army is the poster child for this. They play 2 P5 teams a year, but offset this with 2 FCS teams. This year they played 3 P5s but that is unusual. They also played Delaware State and have Holy Cross. Navy did the same thing when Johnson came pre AACoVaTech used to schedule non-conference teams they new they would usually beat outside there old Big East games. They wanted to be 4-0 in the non-league portion of the schedule. Once they were an established program they upgraded their schedule. Then don’t go. I suspect a 10-2 team will out draw a 6-6 one on a regular basis. [/QUOTE]
