RE: Schedule looks locked up until...
Agree with losing the FCS opponents- In the event that we put together a dream season somewhere down the line, the Big East may not offer enough strength of schedule to be considered a top 4 team. Of course, that's a huge leap (and is at least one coach into the future), but it's something that everybody in the league needs to consider in the new playoff environment. I don't care anything about scheduling FSU, but it would be nice to add other AQ teams within driving distance- GT, Clemson, or perhaps one of the seemingly dozens of NC teams. Perhaps a middling SEC team- Ole Miss, Tennessee, etc?
Would also like to keep Southern Miss and ECU on the schedule frequently- I think they'll consistently be elite teams in what we think of as the non-AQ ranks. I think Marshall may never recover. If we're going to schedule west, might be better doing it against 2nd tier teams there too- Fresno, San Jose, Colorado State, etc. Long trips are tough (it's science!), so let's not fly out to be a bodybag.
