Who has the roughest roads ahead and who will be taking a simpler route? These are the matchups, from tough tests to cupcakes, that have our attention.
I’m torn. I love seeing P5 schools load up on P5 non-con, but that sucks for G5 schools and more historic in-state games, and furthers the inevitable larger schism of G5-P5, soon to be SEC/B1G and the rest.
I’m a WVU fan, tho, so I love where the B12 is at rn. Best of the Rest is absolutely a title I’ll take, and the conference should be wildly fun to watch.
Yeah, and honestly I think both Georgia and Michigan had P5 OOC games that only got canceled because they wouldn’t be able to finish the contracts before their opponents became conference mates.
Generally I think P5’s should make an effort to schedule at least one P5 in OOC, and beyond that just do what makes sense.
As a TCU (and UF) fan, I am in pleasant disbelief that the B12 has pulled things together. Combination of creativity, ambition, and realism about the current state of the conference.
It’s a nice surprise. And with the arguably imminent collapse of the ACC, we are in great position to pick up some very strong eastern schools that we have history with. I do feel bad for WSU, OSU, and some of the other PAC schools. They are likely to be left out in the next expansion, unless the B12 fractures into an East/West.
