Non G5 Road Games

[Johnson85]

I would rather lose @virginia tech or @ penn state or @mich state that is much better than @memphis. At least we took a risk and played a game on the road against another P5 game and if we lose then ok that is not ideal but it happens. If we win it?s a great momentum builder for the team and program. There is a big difference having the chance to win against a G5 team on the road. I guess if the SEC just went to 9 games we wouldn?t have to worry about this which is what should happen

Even though bowl games don't mean what they used to, the extra practices still matter. We don't need to play 10 P5 teams. And if fans want 7 home games (which judging by attendance, they may not really care), we really need 2 for 1 games with G5 schools. And even if fans would be happy having 6 home games to instead of 7 some years, unless they pay the same amount for 6 games, we probably need the revenue from that 7th game, even if it's just 35k fans in the stands.

We would still have 7 home games though because 1 power 5 team would be home and the other game would be away. Then play 2 cupcakes that don?t need a road game. WVU actually is playing 11 power 5 teams this year. They actually always play 10 or 11 and I wish we set it up like them. They play a real easy cupcake or 2 each year and then 1 or 2 power 5 non conference

I rather see college football go back to 11 regular season games than play 12 games with 2 cupcakes. I assume cupcakes would be FCS.
