This article got me thinking, next season we've got to be one of the few BCS schools in the nation that will play a Non-AQ school at their place
Good question. You think as a traditionally lower end BCS program we'd be able to get a better deal from CUSA programs that would feel like itd be a great shot at a win over a BCS team.Quote:

This is also why it bugs me when people say 'we're scared of X team if we buy out the return game'... no, we're just doing what everyone else is and trying to maximize the number of home games we have.
Because they want to show their "dominance" to the rest of the country by beating on all the FCS schools they can.Quote:
