Oklahoma is coming to El Paso this year which will sell out our 51,500 seats and get a big boost in season ticket sales. We have future games with Kansas and Texas. Both have been to UTEP already.

I'm not trying to sound mean, but how much chance is there of UTEP beating Oklahoma or Texas? They're scheduling you as a sure win. Maybe you beat Kansas, but UTEP is close to being Kansas' best shot at a guaranteed FBS win. Kansas is probably looking at that game as a win--if they don't beat UTEP, it's a 10-loss season.

CHappy made projections based on the Alliance teams going 2-2 OOC. Objection was made by TrojanCampaign that there aren't enough FBS teams below the Alliance level to schedule an FBS 'gimme'--there are only so many Idahos and South Alabamas and Akrons to go around. ECUPirated suggested playing AQ bottom-feeders instead. I responded that AQ bottom-feeders aren't going to schedule Alliance teams that could beat them. Saying that you scheduled Texas and Oklahoma doesn't refute that.
