I presume there'll be at least one bye week to account for postponements

Wood said they’d be playing 7 OOC games and 18 conference games on a recent appearance on Cattles.

Hmmm. With the twofer setup and 18 games, that means that half of the teams will play 2 more road games than the other half of the league unless maybe you still play your travel partner home and away.

Still playing travel partners home/away

Having a little trouble figuring out what this means. Hypothetically does this mean we would travel to FAU and play them twice (Thurs/Sat) and perhaps Marshall comes to ODU and plays twice? Thats a serious advantage if for example you play a low level team on the road twice, but you get a top team at your home for two games. A disadvantage in reverse.

Yeah it certainly will provide challenges to some and advantages to others. I would imagine it’s going to be a western team that we play twice in a row since we have to play all division opponents home and away.
