I guarantee these players want to play against these teams, if we lose we lose, so be it. I don't agree with Frazier on everything, but putting a tough OOC schedule, I'm fully on board with, even if it means we have more 8 win seasons than 10 win seasons in the next 5 years.

Yes big bowl with big money and big exposure. What will 8 win seasons in the MAC accomplish?

I get what you're saying. But you have to be careful what you wish for. If you get a big bowl because of a 13-0 powder puff schedule, then get destroyed in that bowl game, you may do more harm than good. A tough OOC can at least be a test to how well you can hang with a upper P5.

We should be shooting for the best team we can be...then being slotted into the appropriate bowl. 13-0 or 12-1 next year, and an access bowl may be appropriate.

2 beatable Midwest P5, competitive G5, then a FCS team. That's not powder puff. Just realistic.

Hey maybe Utah, Iowa, byu all will be on down ticks. Fsu has nowhere to go but up next year. Need some breaks and play perfect. If Childers loses job than I'll feel better going into the year.
