True road games tend to be heavy on @ Maryland, @ Purdue, @ Kentucky. Neutral site games tend to be vs Clemson, vs Texas A&M, vs Notre Dame. So not that surprising.

but folks want to make it out like any road game is tougher than any neutral site game. and that's a load of crap.

That's mainly people complaining about some Southern teams who never play outside the South (including Texas) unless it's a Rose Bowl or Fiesta Bowl.

Which is a fairly stupid argument--if Florida and Alabama and Texas can get top 10 opponents in neutral site games in Atlanta and Tampa and JerryWorld, why *should* they go play @ Michigan or @ Oregon?

It is a REALLY stupid argument since Texas doesn't play neutral site games (because of OU in conference) and has played at USC, Notre Dame and Ohio St. in the last dozen years along with a number of other places.
