However things are coming together nicely. 2016 will be tough with only 5 home games but BC is one of the away games and just as close as Gillette. They also finish with back to back road games at BYU & Hawaii which will fill in nicely as a pseudo bowl game for the most serious fans and boosters.

I really like the 2017 schedule with a varied level of competition from Sun Belt schools all the way up to BYU & 2 SEC teams.

Note that the 2016 school shows the challenge of getting late season home games ... after October 15th, it will only be not-yet-announced game at home (likely an FCS buy game).

And 2017 shows the opportunity opened up by the unbalanced 11 FB schools in the Sunbelt, leaving at least one Sunbelt school with a conference bye per week during the conference season ... both Go5 schools playing in Massachusetts after Oct. 15 in the 2017 schedule are Sunbelt schools, GA Southern on the 21st of October and Appy State on the 28th.
