Last year the same guy probably said "Application State vs Michigan" will be a mismatch.

Put your money on the "Fightin' Carbonless Copies" any day.

Kind of good to not see the Buckeyes on that list. I know we play Younsgtown St., but still.

Equally, thanks to the Big Ten teams on the list for stretching yourselves to help us overcome the negative perceptions about the Big Ten. Way to go on that SOS!

It probably could be embarassing to the larger schools but to the smaller ones it is a big deal to get to play a game of that caliber.

"Big deal"? Hell, the money that they get to be a sacrificial lamb is enough to fund much of the expenses of an entire season for many of these teams. Trust me, the half million or so that they get is much needed and appreciated.

Still, if I were an Auburn alum, I'd be pretty disappointed in the homecoming game competition. Also, the teams with a I-AA opponent for senior day? That's pretty weak.

The flip-side of the article at the top of the thread; the 12 biggest non-conference games:

Rivals -- 4/16


I'm sure they didn't have a difficult time choosing the game that tops the list.

The last line of the Rivals article was interesting:

By the way, USC is the only team in the nation playing a schedule totally made up of "Big Six" schools.

Which one of the "Big Six" leagues is ND in?
