This is a threadbare subject. We have a PAC game every year going forward, sometimes two. Sdsu has scoured all the conferences and there are no takers for home and home. The big boys have little to gain and something to lose by playing us and risking a loss. We, like UCF, have reached a pt where nothing less is acceptable. They just turned down an offer for 3 away and two home with an sec team I don't recall. That's Rocky talking, not me surmising.
Now, I have to point out that FSU has a home/home with Minnesota and Wyoming with Missouri. How does that happen? I think it's about guaranteeing those visitors $$$$$$ for coming to Fresno and Laramie.
I've made my point. Nuff said.

The non conf formula for high level G5 programs is to have two winnable games (wsu and NMSU), one same level team(byu) and one P5 team (ucla) . Ssme as last and previous years. Goal is to go no worse than 2-2 and hope for better coming into conf play. Last we were 3-1 doing this. What do you not get about this? Should we play ND, Oregon, Oklahoma and Alabama every year? Also, if you've been paying attention, you'd know that very few p5 teams are willing to sch us. That's Rocky talking. We are able to sch some PAC schools home/home which is a big plus . That continues in coming decade. Nothing less than h/h is acceptable for sdsu now! What do you not get about scheduling building respect and playing someone on our level vs playing against a low tier, FCS? Playing a FCS is a waste of a game. If we lose, embarrassment. If we win, expected boredom. Fun The “formula” isn’t working. Playing these schools should be unacceptable As befits your board name, college football is evidently not your sports forte. |

I find it impossible to believe that year after year we have to schedule an FCS team to start the season. It seems like a choice, not a requirement. |

Does that mean you're also down on Ducher for not "opening the season" with Duke instead of SD Christian?
Please say you've been puting us on all along.

Worth the guarantee if we could actually beat them. |

How does playing Weber State make money? It's a home game with revenue that we don't have to return. So we make $1.50 after paying the rent. Really progresses the program too! |

We'll soon know how reeeaaaaal they are. They literally aren’t on our level. We should only play FBS. Avoid “cupcakes” and build respect “In a College Football World where most blue-blood programs schedule several cupcake opponents to start the season, often including an FCS opponent, Notre Dame Football has yet to give in. Each season the Irish Football Schedule is critiqued. Many of the experts who disrespect Notre Dame’s Schedule attended schools who play FCS opponents annually. At this moment there are only two schools in the country that have yet to schedule an FCS team, Notre Dame and UCLA.” Could be wrong, but I think USC has not played an FCS school since the current setup was established. Maybe not ever. AzWm |

Hawaii beats Arizona. We play Weber State. Weber State will probably be more motivated to beat us than we will be to beat them. Hmmm. Hmmm. After last year's collapse? I cannot imagine that SDSU will not be hugely motivated. AzWm |

Look, we can play only those schools who will sign a game contract. I endorse the 1-1-2 concept. Example: Cal Poly, Stanford, Northern Illinois, and Tulsa. We may be able to get a one away game deal with P5 schools, but such deals should be rejected out of hand. If the P5 schools don't want to play us home and away, forget it!

Does that mean you're also down on Ducher for not "opening the season" with Duke instead of SD Christian? Please say you've been puting us on all along. Basketball has an exhibition game that doesn’t count to start the season. Basketball has more games, so the impact of a weak schedule is less. And SDSU should never play SD Christian for a meaningful game. Not sure why playing a lower tier school betters our program Please explain how wasting a game versus this type of school earns us respect. Please actually answer instead of avoiding with excuses like we cannot schedule anyone better, because they not true |

Wazzu habitually scheduled FCS tune up games. I chuckled when they actually lost some of them!

Please actually answer instead of avoiding with excuses like we cannot schedule anyone better, because they not true Unlike bball, football can't have scrimmages against other schools or exhibition games. Thus the first game of the year against an FCS serves as our glorified scrimmage. I like it. You never know how your team is going to play until you play against someone else. This enables them to work out the kinks before playing better opponents, gives us a high probability of getting a W, and a guaranteed home game paired with sky show makes it a revenue generator as well. |
