2 out of 3 games have been flops due to scheduling idiocy... - myself MU - 9/16 12:10:23

Colorado tried that and went 1-3 or at best 2-2 to start - OntheMark MU - 9/16 21:25:00

I like the FCS games. We get to see every one play. (nm) - go tigers MU

- 9/16 17:11:22

Swap the WY and SEMO games would have been better - MU-TULSA MU - 9/16 13:58:34

Say something positive. About anything. GO! (nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 9/16 13:49:50

constructive criticism > sunshine pumping .... - myself MU - 9/16 15:03:31

Go back to the beaker board, d-bag. (nm) - go tigers MU

- 9/16 17:12:06

Look at Alabama's schedule - it's trash. - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/16 13:19:27

One thing that could keep us out of the playoffs is a weak - myself MU - 9/16 13:25:59

LOL - it's already a PowerBall season for us to get to 11 - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/16 13:29:11

a better non-con would be more likely to help us reach the - myself MU - 9/16 13:34:27

We do what we do. I agree we should never play an FCS team - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/16 13:36:42

but what if we're a 1-loss or even 2-loss SEC champ?... - myself MU - 9/16 13:43:43

Then we have to suck it. The probabilities of us running - RayKinsella1922 SEC - 9/16 13:45:46

You're talking about us having a national title contender... - myself MU - 9/16 13:48:12

Which season/schedule would you rather have? - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 14:10:22

First of all, USCe doesn't play the #4 team.... - myself MU - 9/16 15:01:42

you don’t build a fan base with 5 or 6 win seasons - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 17:20:46

It is an SEC rule. Take it up with the conference - RayPecTiger18 MU - 9/16 13:10:04

Really? Can you link to your source for that? (nm) - myself MU - 9/16 13:15:50

here - phrejd MU

- 9/16 17:36:39

I agree with the Wyoming game. Disagree with the FCS - Carlos Rossi KC - 9/16 12:38:51

a 50-0 blowout isn't fun for anyone. The stadium was - myself MU - 9/16 12:48:59

Eff off. No it wasn’t - JimD MU - 9/16 14:50:52

Do you really think there was anywhere close to 55K?... - myself MU - 9/16 15:06:43

You are a freakin moran...There were 55,000 there in the ... - BandG MU - 9/16 15:21:07

It was a great crowd, more than the WV game (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 9/16 13:36:58

no, attendance was awful for a prime-time game... - myself MU - 9/16 13:41:00

The crowd was better than vs WVU (nm) - ChinaTiger KC - 9/16 13:23:33

many reasons for that.... - myself MU - 9/16 13:38:47

o p - Gary P. MU - 9/16 12:38:30

Wyoming was done as a favor to christianson. It would have - lqf2b8 MU

- 9/16 12:37:00

a favor at MU's expense. Our admins are so incompetent. (nm) - myself MU - 9/16 12:41:40

Every SEC team plays an FCS team every year (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 9/16 12:19:36

That's not the case in other P5 conferences, in particular - myself MU - 9/16 12:27:25

We aren't in another conference dipsh*t..we are in the SEC. - BandG MU - 9/16 15:23:33

The Pac 12 plays a 9 conference game schedule - MrBlueSky MU - 9/16 12:28:55

Playing fewer conference games is even more reason to - myself MU - 9/16 12:34:53

Almost every P5 team has a game against a FCS team - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 12:18:15

Wrong. Nearly a quarter of all P5 schools no longer schedule - myself MU - 9/16 12:39:25

I haven’t seen any data to show that number is growing (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 12:56:22

I have, and by the way, Matter is wrong about the number of - myself MU - 9/16 13:00:57

Notre Dame plays New Mexico - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 13:56:02

New Mexico is in the Mountain West Conference, far from FCS. - myself MU - 9/16 15:09:35

New Mexico is talent wise closer to SEMO - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 17:22:18

That's true, but it's still the norm, per D. Matter - jj40 MU - 9/16 12:53:50

Like I said, the Pac-12 and Big Ten are leading the way in - myself MU - 9/16 12:56:34

When were the Wyoming games scheduled and most - Diamond Dave MU

- 9/16 12:13:39

10 years from now, I doubt that any P5 schools will be - myself MU - 9/16 12:19:15

Go back to an 11 game schedule - meatiger MU - 9/16 13:01:38

14 P5 schools didn't schedule a FCS team this season - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 12:26:37

(16) P5 schools, (17) if you include Notre Dame... - myself MU - 9/16 13:11:37

The definition of "cupcake" isnt understood by most - meansonny UGA - 9/16 12:39:07

I think you mean spider-face. - Gary P. MU - 9/16 13:00:32

It does matter, because there's a stigma attached to "FCS" - myself MU - 9/16 12:44:18

Losses always matter. It is why the SOS argument is always - meansonny UGA - 9/16 13:00:23

This is correct - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 13:51:24

It’s bad to lose to a cupcake no matter what (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 12:48:50

True, but far worse losing to James Madison than Tennessee (nm) - myself MU - 9/16 12:50:09

Tennessee will never be a buy game - wu-tangtiger MU - 9/16 12:54:46

At least that many, and it's trending higher every year. (nm) - myself MU - 9/16 12:31:55
