Also a home-and-home with Kansas and a double home-and-home with Temple. This year we had at Fresno, Arkansas at home and 2 bodybags. I'm ok with that. Much better then some of the Schiano schedules.

But the reason they scheduled you is that Schiano left and they expect a drop off and because you are going to be a Big Ten OOC game for everyone else in the future. You are dead on right these schedules are what everyone wants. A P5 power, a P5weakling, a MAC/CUSA/Sunbelt/MWC team and a FCS money home game, that is the perfect OOC schedule, because even if it is a bad year you should get atleast 2 wins out of it and still have a shot at a bowl if you handle your conference home games. But if you win then you don't have to sweat make a bowl and you have a shot at great things if you can win the conference.
