I'm not sure what's worse, how badly you're grasping at straws to stake claim to one of your original flawed points, or how completely and totally you have ignored every other one of your disproven flawed points.

You've offered zero response to when you were corrected on Arkansas State's history, you've offered no response on your ridiculous claims of Idaho having more "street cred" than Middle Tennessee based on a difference of transitioning to FBS two years earlier.

NMSU is part of your OG FBS "street cred" club, why are they only getting $1.35M from Arkansas when Coastal Carolina, a team currently in transition, is getting $1.5M?

And to your hypothetical of what looks better a win/loss to USM/MT/WKU/Charlotte/etc etc etc. just stop it. How often do we see five undefeated teams? Or even five one loss teams? Further, all your talk of resume boosts or detriments from a potential win/loss, none of that is relevant unless the G5 team is having a great season. A win over any 12 win G5 team looks better than a win over any 7 win G5 team regardless of their "street cred".

Just stop trying to explain your extremely flawed logic, I've understood exactly what you've been trying to eay all along, so why you keep trying to explain it is curious indeed, I get what you're saying, you're just flat wrong.

For the sake of your terrible argument, let's take a look at the OOC schedules of some top teams.

Bama: Southern Cal, WKU, Kent State, UT-Chattanooga
FSU: Louisville, UNC, USF, Charleston Southern
tOSU: OU, Bowling Green, Tulsa
Michigan: Colorado, UCF, Hawaii
OU: tOSU, Houston, ULM
Stanford: ND, Kansas State, Rice

I included two B1G schools because tOSU and OU play one another and there's not another CFP contender in the Big XII. So for the sake of your argument let's say Bama, FSU, OU, Michigan and Stanford all go undefeated, Bama should be the one left out based on youe logic, but we all know that's not how it would go. The difference between the other four would come down to their conference schedule and the OOC games like Louisville, Colorado, tOSU and ND, not USF, UCF, ULM and Rice.

For the record, I am loving our 1-1 games with P5's and top G5 schools.

In the next few years we have Louisville, Pittsburgh, NC State, ECU, Boise State, Navy, and Cincinnati all coming to Huntington.

That is much better than a 1 time away game somewhere else imo. Then again, its only worth it if you are able to make good money from your home game. Louisville game this year will have over 40k + so we will make good money as well as continue to grow the fan base.

Those are some really nice hookups.

Louieville under Petrino should get better and they have some ACC street cried.

Pittsburgh hasn't been great lately but it still has a name. They're not bad. I think you can definitely beat them. Not sure of the distance between Huntington and Pittsburgh but kinda has the West Va - Pennsylvania neighbor feud.

NC State has been improving but you can still win that one.

ECU hasn't really been good but there has to be rivalry between you two. They do have a name at our level.

Boise. Well they're Boise. You definitely can win that.

Navy. We've whooped up on them lately but I loved playing them. Definitely a name that folks know.

Cincy. Good name for our level.

All of these are definitely winnable. I'd love to have this same bunch as 1 for 1s on our schedule. Well done by Marshall.

Oh no!! I hope Pitt crushes Marshall! Sorry Herd fans, I come from a Panther family -- lol...
