Yesterday was clearly a great day for the University of Memphis. What effects do you think it will have on recruiting? We are currently ranked 70th by rivals.com.

They did filled their roster with a ton of grad transfers, the QB was a former Texas Longhorn that played in 19-20 games with them.
I am more shocked that Tulane is no longer a cupcake anymore. Heck, no team in the west is a cupcake.

About these contracts yrs in advance, I'm sure we can drop a Austin peay or ut martin without much difficulty.
Didn't Arkansas and utk drop us a few yrs ago

Just curious. What does dropping OOC cupcakes get us?
I mean, we're basically the highest ranked G5 team. We just came off a sellout and GameDay. We're all over tv. We control our destiny for the Cotton Bowl.
What is the upside to taking on all this additional risk of playing a P5 on the road?

Good point. This makes scheduling more difficult than people realize. Scheduling contracts are done for years in advance. Hard to know who will be good. That doesn't excuse scheduling UL Laffayette, South Alabama, Ga State, etc......but you get the point.
Nice to see AAC getting recognition, decreasing the need to prove ourselves OOC. Life is good.
However, to take this program to the next level, we'll have to schedule bigger, better OOC teams. And IMO it's better to play solid football brands (Ole Miss) than it is to play good teams that are unknown (Ga State in next couple of years as they continue to improve).

3- One G5 "rival"
4- One P5 other game --whoever will play us home and home.
This would result in 6 home games one year and 7 home games the next.
This is a manageable schedule that would maximize revenue, wins and growth for the program.
Two Sunbelt teams on the road in one year is total BS...

SMU is a conference game, we have no discretion on the SMU game, the cupcakes that need to go are too many OOC cupcakes.
Who cares if GaState is good or not, it WILL NOT Move the needle for recruits or ticket buyers,
The purpose of a better schedule is to recruit better--- players and fans.
And we are really talking about ONE game difference.
There are 4 OOC slots
We should play:
1- Regional P5 "rival"
2- One Buy game, 1aa probably
3- One G5 "rival"
4- One P5 other game --whoever will play us home and home.
