Still not a lot of "real" sports news to discuss, so I thought I'd throw this out there...
Based on FBSchedules.com "Power 5 programs playing games at Group of 5 schools in 2020":
Quote:If the 2020 college football season is played as scheduled, the 130 FBS teams will play a combined 1,560 regular-season games. Of these, a mere 18 will feature a Power 5 member visiting a non-Power venue. It amounts to a mere one percent of the total.
By conference, eight of the matchups feature an ACC program, seven include a Pac-12 member and three involve a Big 12 team. No Big Ten or SEC schools are slated to visit a non-Power foe this season...
Here are the 8 ACC away games...
FLORIDA STATE at BOISE STATE
N CAROLINA at UCF
NC STATE at TROY
PITT at MARSHALL
SYRACUSE at WESTERN MICHIGAN
VIRGINIA at OLD DOMINION
VIRGINIA TECH at MIDDLE TENNESSEE
WAKE FOREST at OLD DOMINION
To be fair, most of the ACC away games are either (a) in-state, (b) in an area the ACC team wants to recruit, or (b) at a well-respected G5 team which the ACC team will get credit for beating (if they win).
BOTTOM LINE: I still don't like the idea of a "no-win" game, but I understand why these were scheduled.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? IS IT OK TO PLAY THESE GAMES OR IS IT A SERIOUS MISTAKE?
