My understanding is if you have the dollars, you can buy all the weak opponents you want. Nebraska has EIGHT home games this year. They pay $500,000 to the sisters of the poor to beat up on them with no return engagement. I guess the easier you are, the more you can get these days. Sorry state of college rankings.
I dont mind playing decent teams from the non BCS conferences the way we are now with a 2 in Ames and 1 on the road. Gives the players new places to go and ISU prob doesnt have to pay them as much to come to JTS this way. If this program does get good these are good games to play and win. You cannot always play the school of the blind earily in the year.

Nobody minds playing BCS conference schools on the road in the preseason. But at Ohio, Toledo, Northern Illinois.... and so on. Iowa or Nebraska would never have to worry about playing on one of those teams home field.
I could be wrong but didn't Iowa play at Miami of Ohio a couple of years ago? But you are right Neb and Iowa usually don't play these teams on the road.Quote:
