Hmm, good question. I think we should require at least one top-15 opponent. I'm open for suggestions for how we should handle this scheduling...

Well let's see. We get four OOC games. I say we get one top-10 or top-15 opponent, a rival if we have one OOC, a somewhat challenging non-BCS conferene game (Hawaii, BYU, etc.), and then Notre Dame or Michigan. Just because they should never ever get to a BCS bowl

no 1-AA!! That's right FSU ... no more padding the total wins

Love that idea. I'll draft a mock schedule here in a min...

BCS Buster & ND/Mich to be determined later... what do you think about a schedule like this? (assuming it can be made, might have to make slight changes)

Clemson
Top10 - Bama (home)
Rival - South Carolina

Florida State
Top10 - Texas
Rival - Florida

Virginia Tech
Top10 - LSU
Rival - Tennessee? (not one, but makes sense geographically)

Wake Forest
Top10 - West Virginia?
Rival - Ohio State (basketball recruiting feud? )

Miami
Top10 - Oklahoma (return trip for 07)
Rival - Florida (ok to double dip here?)

North Carolina
Top10 - at Notre Dame (assuming they're top-15) (return trip for 08)
Rival - __________ ???? Kentucky isn't good enough... miami is in conf...

I can go with whoever for that rival spot

 

[jwinslow]

Maybe I'll give you penn state for that rivalry, somewhat nearby.

It looks like West Virginia is my only OOC rival (Battle for the Black Diamond Trophy)...

K, then let's do this for rivalries

Clemson-SC
FSU-Florida
VT-West Virginia
Wake-Penn State (fitting, imo)
Miami-Florida
UNC-Tennessee

I'm advancing tomorrow at 8 pm. We've had more than enough time to cut players, need to get into the next season.

 

[eobuck]

Had to pull a Rich Rod and get rid of some upper class dead weight.

 

[jwinslow]

We've advanced to preseason. All of the steps are available at once, so we should be in season soon.

good 2 go

edit: upon further review, I think Boise needs to be swapped out for a top-15 team.

Not sure if you guys can control your scheduling, but this is what I have set up for OOC:

(number = week)

Virginia Tech
2. @ top-10 LSU
4. #12 WVU
7. ND
14. @ #13 Mich

Wake
1. @ #24 PSU
2. Boise
13. ND
14. @ #7 Wisc

Clemson
1. #5 or so Georgia
12. @ #8 Texas
13. @ S Car (ranked low twenties IIRC)
14. ND

Florida State
1. @ #13 Mich
2. ND
12. #9 UF
13. #11 Aub

Miami
1. ND
2. #1 OU
4. Cinci
13. #18 Tenn

UNC
1. @ #4 USC
2. #13 Mich
11. ND
14. #18 Tenn

 

[redbenn]

looks good .... OU :ohwell:

 

[jwinslow]

I gave Clemson Texas to match up with the other schedules, which featured 2 elite teams or 3 good teams (or both), since SCar really isn't that good.

I may leave Wake with Boise. Even the playing field a bit, considering the talent he's coaching up.
