So I'm guessing Cal, Penn St,Northern Illinois and Arizona State isn't good enough for you guys??? I don't have any issue playing a PAC team, B1G or No. Illinois who have been top 25. No. AZ, USD, and UC Davis (FCS) I think should be upgraded.

Only not good enough for the un-informed who think we should just dial in USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State every year. We keep trying to educate, but some here can't learn. This is the best overall upcoming three years of Aztec scheduling I recall. BIG10, Pac 12, MAC, Sun Belt, and winnable FCS games. That is a formula for success, challenge and marketing opportunity all rolled into one.

Don't most teams schedule teams at Cal Poly level every year?

Why should it matter how easy the two easy games are??? Teams like UC Davis and USD were put on the schedule to be beat. People are focus too much on the bad teams and don't care enough about the good teams we have on the schedule

So I'm guessing Cal, Penn St,Northern Illinois and Arizona State isn't good enough for you guys??? Have you seen the sub-conference we play in? It takes more than one semi-interesting team on the schedule every year to convince people to spend their entertainment dollar. Between Rocky's play calling and Sterky's scheduling, it's like paying to see ISHTAR II. And, frankly, the last time I saw stewardship on par with Sterky's, Denethor wanted to throw open the gates of Minas Tirith and let Sauron's army come marching in. This program is just biding its time til it gets shut down.

I have an idea - let's schedule four P5 powers for our OOC schedule. Something like Ohio state, Texas, USC, and Alabama. Maybe one of those we can schedule at home so that everyone bitching on this thread can be happy. It's great when we start conference play 0-4 and beat to a pulp. I mean it has been done before by others who subsequently were added to P5 conferences so we should follow their lead. We've even tried it in the past with fantastic success - both at the gate and in the win column. Hey, that could be the solution to our mascot problems. We can change our name to the San Diego State Sparring Partners and our logo could be a guy with two black eyes and a broken nose. Who could complain about that? Hell, Notre Dame would want to schedule us every year just for the novelty aspect of it.

If you think you don't like playing UC Davis, wait until our Sept. 5 opponent is revealed. The rumor persists -- if it comes true, it is going to shock many of you casual fans here. If it happens, remember that there literally were NO other opponents available nationwide. On the overall subject, let's get something straight -- the Aztecs have very little chance of attracting many the Big 12, SEC, BiG10 teams mentioned above. We are team on the upswing and there is not much of a payday for playing the Aztec here. And, these teams can't afford even the possibility of being upset most of all. From the comments above, some here naively think scheduling the P5 teams is simple as ordering them up at will. That said, AD Sterk has scheduled a Pac 12 team every year AT HOME starting in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022 with the in between spots still being filled. What valid criticism can there be of that? If you think that was easy think again. Finally, the best the Aztecs can hope for is to play in a bowl game (hopefully a better bowl game) each year. To do that you need to go 3-1 OOC going forward. So you need two very winnable games (New Mexico State), one you think you should win (South Alabama) , and one that is a reach (the Pac 12 teams). That's the formula. So a P5 team scheduling Fresno St. because they are a "gimmie" and we are not? Perhaps they just couldn't resist the allure of spending the weekend in Fresno?

The uninformed negativists here just don't see the value of the upcoming years that includes Pac 12 games as the UP portion. You want to play one of those games each year and go 3-1 for the balance of OOC, worst case. And, those who do not see the value of Northern Illinois and South Alabama as challenging games have paid no attention to college football. The Aztecs will have to play well to beat SA this year and No. Ill. next year. Neither are gimmees.

It ends up being a waste of time

Don't most teams schedule teams at Cal Poly level every year? Perhaps not when we are residing in an embarrassing conference, wherein our mates are themselves lamentable, AND, we are--supposedly---tying to look skyward, to the Top-25, and impress the Power Conferences. How exactly would that unfold?

How exactly would that unfold? Our conference is terrible. There are no two ways about it. The only way SDSU is going to been seen as relevant by the public and by the P5 conferences is if they start winning P5 games out of conference, then kick the living $hit out of the MW. Not just once, but every single year. I am not suggesting a sweep of every P5 game we have, but at least half the time win the damn game instead of crapping the bed. How do you expect to be part of a P5 conference if you are afraid to schedule games with them? The "you" I refer to is the posters on this board that are afraid we will be bruised and battered for MWC play. Time is running short for our program and all I keep seeing is the same ol', same ol'. Gotta make things happen now. Part of that includes: DONT LOSE TO NAVY ON YOUR F'ing HOME FIELD!

Boise will continue to be there as well. This year we must jump up and be in the MWC championship game. I don't read posters here afraid to play P5 games. Sterk and Rocky certainly don't and we are doing same going forward. There is no fear on their part in playing P5 games and it is happening.

Schedule is no different than any other team. Just need to win most if not all games...oh and if we didnt have such fickle fans who seem to care more about who we are playing than getting to see "their" team play would probably help too...but we can't have it all, amirite?

How exactly would that unfold? It would unfold exactly as Marshall's season unfolded last year. They played a milquetoast schedule against the likes of Akron, Rhode Island and other unknowns, were ranked as high as 18 and ended up in the top 25 even after a late season loss to Western Kentucky. Here is their 2014 schedule: Marshall 2014Being in the MWC prevents us from being considered for the big money round, But it wouldn't prevent us from cracking the top 25.

Exactly. Sure seems to be plenty of fans showing up to support SDSU basketball when we play the likes of CSU San Marcos and San Diego Christian. Can you imagine what our fan base would do if we played those schools in football (if they had football teams)? Many would have pre-mature heart attacks and strokes. It is about the SDSU Aztecs; not the other team.
